My future son-in-law called me earlier in the week to ask me for permission to marry our daughter and said he was going to propose to her when he flew in for the weekend. It was hard keeping it a secret from her all week and even harder not to hook up Matt to that lie detector in my secret room! LOL I also should have told him that I belonged to a secret organization (LCT) that would do him bodily harm if he didn't behave! :mecry: that his baby is all grown up.

That story is so adorable I called Doug in so I could read it to him. You sound like you're gaining a nice young man as your son.

Congratulations, Don. Sounds like you're getting a son-in-law with a sense of humor. He's also romantic and loves your daughter. Thanks for sharing the story. Keep us updated about the wedding plans.

Thanks for the great news! Matt sounds like a keeper. We do need photos to keep the secret society support effort going. Include one of the ring, please! :D :D
Gary said the happiest day of his life was giving his daughter away & attending her wedding. Wishing you two the same joy.
Cheers, Anne
