Kathleen Fent Read This Story

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the typed-with-one-pair-of-sweating-palms dept.

Kathleen, I wanted to do this in this most potentially embarassing way possible, and I figured doing it here and now, in front of a quarter of a million strangers was as good a way as any. I love you more then I can describe within the limits of this tiny little story. We've been together for many years now, and I've known for most of that time that I wanted to spend my life with you. Enough rambling. Will you marry me? Update 15 minutes 30 seconds later: Subj: "Yes", message body: "Dork. You made me cry. :)" Hazah! I'm getting married! :)

    Of course she cried; if a woman doesn't cry, then you just didn't get it right. Besides, that is the best part for us - it shows she really loves you.

    No moderation on this post, please, I just wish to add my two cents on this historic occasion.

    Congratulations, Taco, and good luck.

    I will now step aside for all the inevitable beowulf, first post, meta-moderation, CowboyNeal, etc. jokes.

    However, I would like to issue a plea to all of you geek guys out there: Don't take Taco as your example. Please propose in person, on one knee, and all that mushy stuff! Don't wimp out and propose in a public way because you're too scared to do it in person. That way, you can hold her when she cries like Kathleen did (which is, by the way, a true sign of love).

    Kathleen and Rob, best of luck to both of you. Especially Kathleen

    Secretly, all wives get root passwords -- they eventually forget them, because they never wanted them in the first place, but you give them nonetheless.
