Remember - it was my idea that you needed to be introduced to XXXXX's father. After meeting you he decided that you needed to meet his daughter. As you are now officially an "item," if this relationship goes anywhere, I expect at least an invitation to the wedding or the right to name the first born.
Either will do. I am the procuring cause.
Oh, if the relationship doesn't work out - it is the fault person who took you by the arm to meet the father. Just to lay down that marker too. Goodness to me - otherness to others.
Only three people know what this means, but they read this blog and know the background. Consider yourself on notice.
So BIW is screwed no matter what, eh? Fine by me. They made their bed, and now they can lay in it.
ReplyDeleteOh my...this makes my heart beat a little faster. As a confirmed matchmaker myself, may I offer a "Well done, CDR!" Oh, and I think we should all be invited to the wedding. I promise to tear up during the exchange of vows, and I can think of a few regulars 'round here who would make the reception wild and wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSal...no...really? Please excuse the language but...you've gotta be shitting me! Well played to the gentleman in question, well played!
ReplyDeleteGiven my advanced age and long-married status, I KNOW it ain't me! :)
ReplyDeleteGosh, what people won't do for naming rights!
ReplyDeleteI think every child should be named Salamander.
ReplyDeleteNewt was so 1990s.
As long as I have a Designated Driver, I know after a few good adult beverages, I can be the floor show or at least make the reception wild. If your young'un comes to you on how to plan the wedding, the biggest thing I can suggest is a netural zone for both the wedding and reception. That is what I did and it succeed pretty well for me. Even more so for my out of town relatives who came to Seattle for the wedding. It was great for them to be both tourists and cheering squad at the wedding.
ReplyDeleteAhahaha. So now I have images of the whole Porch crashing a wedding. Where's MTH. He can do the toast: PAIN!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh well, and I hoped a series of new frigates "Amphibian" class was ordered to replace LCS...
ReplyDeleteI definately expect a wedding invite should this lead somewhere. This is such a great feel good story of young love - too bad so few will know the tale, for now.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, Sal played cupid with the bow here, but in truth it was sortof on accident.
Sal, did you go all squishy-sensitive Alan Alda on me?
ReplyDelete"If the Navy meant you to have a wife, they'd tell you to pick one up at initial issue."
Best of luck to the new couple, and "salamander" is a hell of a lot better name for your kid than "Hortense" or "Margatroid".
I'll do the seafood boil and gumbo :)
ReplyDeleteBuzz kill. You're just pouting it wasn't your idea. Anyway, this is my story - let me exagerate it if I want.

Psst! URR. Happy Birthday USMC. Quick, blow out the candles on the cake....
ReplyDelete(speaking of exaggerations. 235 candles... hmmph.)
I saw what you did there...and I agree.
ReplyDeleteGrazie, sweetie!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you are taking credit for this! Proof positive that your ego is bigger than mine. I don't get to say I was there....I was busy crying about a broken washing machine at the time. But it is a great story.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm talking about! We're rolling now. We have SAP to choose the venue, and DB will be in charge of keeping MTH sober until he delivers the toast, and Byron will add a little Cajun flavor to the festivities. I'll be the wedding planner and coordinate all the contributions from the porch regulars. Now we just need this couple to hurry up and get engaged.
ReplyDeleteYes, a very interesting story, sort of like the movie Clue. Boston Maggie with the 'tool' near the Washing Machine. Sounds kinky.
ReplyDeleteDoes that vivid imagination keep you warm in the winter? LOL.
ReplyDeletePerfectly innocent is what I am!
I can sing Ave Maria and then get drunk and pass out in the corner.
