My fellow Caissa friends, i dont often post on here but i wanted to share the best news ive had in years with you all.
Some of you who play me regularly have already been bored by my continuous text during games regarding this.
Story goes; We were together from 17-22 and i asked Catherine to marry me when we were 18. Wisely she said no as we were too young. Unfortunately, we split up and both married other people.
We got back together 3 and a half years ago and have lived together since. Im finally getting to marry her on 8th February, 26 years after i first asked her and i am the happiest man on the planet!!
Apologies for my drivel but i wanted to share it with as many people as i know (even if i dont know you all).

Congrats 'al.' - Here's, to a safe & continued 'happy landing'; From your present & understandable, emotional high. ..{gosh, I dislike, 'correspondence chess'; Oops!}.

Hey Al
As I might have told you before, this is is one of the best things I've heard in very long time. All the best to you and Cath for the future.
Cheers

I might have played a corr game with you,quite a while ago. All I seem to remember is that you are a Gillingham town FC supporter. You drew the short straw there, but at least you got a result in your personal life. Great story and all the best to you.

darn, I thought I was the happiest man on the planet..... CONGRATS to YOU!

Congratulations and thanks for sharing it with us.

Kudos :)

I did something similar. in 1995 I called the girl that I had dated in 1965 and asked her to marry me and send me a picture as I hadn't seen her for 30 years. Like so many other people who have done the same crazy type of thing, I am extremely happy and deeply in love. The reason people get back together after all those years is there was something special between them that brought them back together. There is some sort of chemistry that wouldn't let them forget this person they loved so much.

Congratulations to all that were able to do it. I was close but it just isn't to be - not that I've given up...

Just a hypothesis image, with a minimal amount of info. to go on. But, as they say; 'Beauty, is skin deep'/'In the eyes of the beholder.' --

First the marriage and then send pics?
Is this one of those modern tricks?
First the verdict, then the Trial
It's Looking Glass World again, I smile!

i know its an old cliche' but when i first set eyes on her all those years ago when we were 17, it was love at first sight. never ever got her out of my mind and spent so many years married to the "wrong" woman. not that there was anything wrong with my ex wife but she just wasnt THE one. not her fault but mine. my heart ruled my head. definitely a chemistry and i couldnt stop thinking about her. it is a crazy selfish thing to do but my heart ruled my head and i have no regrets. love is a beautiful thing and when youre lucky enought to feel and live the real thing, its amazing. hats off to you mr corbata for following your heart and living your dream.

That actually looks like my ex wife???!!! how strange that you should be in a hot tub with her mr 81stpercentile!!!!

The pic, I think, is Kathy Bates
And, as an actress, she really rates
Great performances she has made
Proving looks aren't the only thing in this Trade

Congrats, al! Best wishes for you and the lady!

Did you hear about that bunch of Al's friends coming to his ceremony and telling jokes that had Al rolling in the aisle? The Bride was heard to say....
 
Wedding Gangs Are Breaking Up That Old Bell Of Mine

LOL. Great one, Wiz!

0My wife is from Colombia SA and when she agreed to marry someone she hadn't seen for 30 years, all her friends called her crazy. She had a good life and would have to sell her apartment and basically come here and start over. A gay friend of hers returned from a trip and she told him she needed to talk to him. She started to explain the problem and he interrupted and said, "Pack up and go" "What? Why,I haven't told you everything yet" I don't care. I have never seen you like this and if you don't go, you will always regret it. She packed up and came and we love each other

oops. I said my wife hadn't seen me for 3 years. That was a typo and I corrected it. It was 30 years and she was and is still beautiful and I am so silly I still get tears in my eyes when I talk about her. People never ask if I love her. It shows in my face and emotions.
