THE Question

I did it. 

I asked Lady S to marry me. I pretty well knew her answer before I asked, but it was assuring to her her Yes.

We want to get married before Thanksgiving when my whole family will be together in Portland. Then, for those who cannot make it, we will have a wedding party there for family who did not make it to Idaho.

So we began informing family. 

Daughter 4 had airplane reservations within 15 minutes of hearing of the time.

Brother Ben, who lives in Georgia, is to be here in Early November, so we soldered those together and arrived at a date of November 9.

So far, so good.

And, that is about the time that the groom can take a seat and just massage his checkbook.The girls make most of the rest of the decisions. Shar has 3 daughters and I have 4, that is a lot of women.

All of my daughters will be here (but not the rest of their families). The exception to the families is granddaughter Emily who spent a few days of every week of her first 12 years in our house. 

So, that is how it stands. I got the forms from the church (my church and soon ours) for the date. 

There does not seem to be a conflict.
