Have you worked out the Honeymoon timing that we discussed?
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I'm late on this too, congrats. I've been married 19 years to my best catch! That proposal will be hard to beat. Now, it would have been really interesting if she had caught a fish on the cast!

One of my good friends did a similar proposal where he and his girlfriend (at the time) were fishing off his boat off of the Jersey shore.
He baited her line with a faux-engagement ring and cast it out for her.
When she reeled it in after having no bites, he was on his knee.
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Congrats Dwight, 40 years these days is something to be very proud of! My grandparents are at 62 years now... Something to be said about a lasting marriage. I have a lot of faith my marriage will be successful.

CJ, I'll give you another tip for a long marriage, it's worked for me for 38 years, learn to communicate, let her know how much money you will save buying that tractor, or the priceless quality time together on that new pontoon boat, make her part of the buying decision.

Great advice, AP. I just bought a new old tractor. Now my wife's AC is out on her car. Been wanting a new one for some time. My tit is in a wringer. BUT, she was all gung ho about a tractor. I am not gung ho about a new car.

burger, that's a real bummer, we can do without ac up here, but in Texas it's life or death. Maybe if you bought a pontoon boat she could cool off after the hot ride home.
