To my PP friends…….

Hopefully the mods will give me some latitude here as this isn't strictly PP related, but I wanted to share with my friends on the PP forum that I got engaged last night! I managed to make it to 42 years old without being married, but I am finally growing up!

I thoughts watches were expensive until I discovered the world of diamonds!

Please raise a virtual glass with me to celebrate!

That's awesome Roger, congrats to you and your fiancé. The real danger is a wife who in addition to diamonds picks up an interest in fine timepieces

Congrats Roger.
The wedding cake is not out of the question (although slightly strange to most); my kids got me a cake resembling a UN Maxi Marine a few years ago for my 50th as a joke. it was actually pretty cool.
