OT - I've gone and done it

[FellsPointRaven]

Sorry for the OT, but for those here who may know me, I asked CJ to marry me last night and she said yes (surprisingly).

I'm announcing this one hour before gametime hoping it brings some luck to our Ravens.

Also this hopefully will buy me some major slack for football watching over the next few months!!

[UKRavenStockers]

Congrats Ben!

[ladyraven127]

Congrats to you and CJ :thumbup:

Maybe you can have a real Christmas tree this year :roll:

[Admin Steve]

Dude! Very very good news. You do know the cockney rhyming slang for wife right??

Congratulations from me and my 'trouble and strife' :)

Let's hope it is an positive omen for the game in 45 mins. You need LR127's mojo.

[FellsPointRaven]

Thanks guys.


Maybe you can have a real Christmas tree this year :roll:

:laugh: Well remembered! The dream of a big leafy pine in the living room is edging closer and closer.

[crowdog89]

[RavenTD]

Looks like we are gonna have to get you hammered when we get over to celebrate.:069:

Wonderful! I hope your contentment exceeds both of your most optimistic expectations.


If you always put the seat back down and she always puts it back up, you are destined for bliss. (though you may wear out a lot of seats)

[RavenTD]

If you always put the seat back down and she always puts it back up, you are destined for bliss.

Argghh yes,all those likkle things you didn't have to worry about.Now become Defcon 1.:laugh:

[BirdFan]

Consider both of yourselves "hugged". Can't wait to see you next Sunday.

[Pat McGroin]

Woah!!

Congrats you guys! That's great news. The better half and I wish you many years of happiness.

A question though.....Any alcohol consumed by the groom-to-be prior to popping the question? :crazy:

[DrUnk]

Hopefully, the Ravens will bring you luck, 'cause if you're getting married, you're gonna need a lot of it.;) ;) :rolling:

[Dusty728]

Congratulations!

[Ravenatic20]

That's awesome man! Congratulations!!!

[Admin Steve]

Looks like it's good karma.

You'll be married for 100 years based on today's performance.

[darb72]

Congrats, but always remember that marriage is a three ring circus.

First the engagement ring.

Then the wedding ring.

Finally the suffer-ring.:thumbup:

[Greg]

Ben, Amy requests CJ e-mail the details to her and hopes you were more romantic than I was. LOL, we were folding laundry.

When did CJ start doing charity work?

[Admin Steve]

Ben, Amy requests CJ e-mail the details to her and hopes you were more romantic than I was. LOL, we were folding laundry.


You think? I was kayaking.

[The Fanatic]

Congradulations to both you and the young lady Fells.

So when's the bachelor party?:D

If this is the type of karma a member here brings when making this type of announcement, then I highly recommend the rest of the single members here with girl friends man up to the plate!!:thumbup:

[Mobtown]

Cograts to you and yours from me and mine!

[flraven]

Congrats Fells! If I move back to Baltimore, I might be the next.

[RockyMRaven]

CONGRATS! Great timing. You provided the good mojo for the Ravens shutout.

[WxKevin]

Mrs WxKevin was just asking yesterday if you had popped the question. I was supposed to ask you if I head out with you guys this Friday.

Can I take a guess at what she said before "Yes!"? Was it "It's about damn time you limey!" :laugh:

Seriously, congratulations guys! We couldn't be more happy for you.

[Dabruise]

Congratulations and God bless you both.

[52RAYVENS]

Congrats to both of you.

[crowdog89]

A question though.....Any alcohol consumed by the groom-to-be prior to popping the question?

A better question might be...was any alcohol or illicit drugs involved with the bride to be prior to her answer?:069:

[Bez513]

As a newlywed myself congrats!:banana:

[FellsPointRaven]

A better question might be...was any alcohol or illicit drugs involved with the bride to be prior to her answer?:069:

I'd plied her with a liberal amount of expensive wine, so yes. Although with a clear head today she still seems quite excited about it, so I think we're still on!

I may indeed have to propose to her every Saturday night from now on if what happened today is the result. As long as I can use the same ring.

Again, thanks to all of you for your kind words!

[UKRaven]

Congrats - I hope you both will be very happy - any dates yet?

[Ravenfanmike]

From someone whose been married 17 years, Congrats:thumbup:

Get use to using your hand also :rolling:

[RavenScallywag]

Congrats, I'm taking the plunge on Saturday and let me tell you, planning for a wedding sucks. But, in the end, it's worth it.

[braven98]

congrads

[Raven31]

You the man Fells. :thumbup:

[Losac]

Another one bites the dust!

Congrats Fells!

[GirlsKickButt]

Congrats, Ben!

It's about time you made an honest woman out of CJ!!! :laugh:

[BaltimoreRon]

Congrats to you and the young lady, FPR.

Looks like you proposing before the Bucs game worked. Think you can get her pregnant before the Raiders game?

:thumbup:

[Mista T]

Congrats from Mr. & Mrs T.

:thumbup:

I love the way camden thinks.

Big Cohibas Ben and not the 'Cohibas' they sell in the tailgate areas :)

[italianjoker]

congrats Fells. i got hitched on august 24th. you do not feel any different. especially when you have been living with the same person for the last 8 years.

[highwater]

Congrats, FellsPoint, and you too, IJ! (What took you so long?)

[cajmax]

Congrats - Fells Point :thumbup:

[Kaven]

Great weekend FellsPoint. Best of luck in the future. lol

[italianjoker]

Congrats, FellsPoint, and you too, IJ! (What took you so long?)


i can not escape that question, even on the internet.

i saw no reason to gte married. we lived together forever. i already paid all the bills. we were married without me having to spend the money.

finally i spent the money. everyone has asked what took so long? also, is she pregnant. LOL.

thanks for the well wishes, but this is Fells thread. i did not mean to divert any attention.

[FellsPointRaven]

Hey, no problem IJ. We may as well celebrate the end of bachelorhood in one place. We've been together four and a half years, living together three and a half, and I've got 'what took you so long?' shouted at me for the past 48hours.

Glad to see another right thinking man on board here - congratulations to you on your recent nuptials and well done on holding out so long!

some people do not appreciate the difficulty and technique that go into "holding out" that long. thank you. and again, congrats to you.

[RavenScallywag]

i've been together with my fiancee for almost 4 years...true, we had to wait because I just graduated college, but you need that time to allow both of you to grow together, to really make sure this isn't a rush and this isn't just a passing thing. Now, getting on 6-7 years, that might be a bit too long...

[Greg]

Looks like you proposing before the Bucs game worked. Think you can get her pregnant before the Raiders game?

Wait just a sec...When we won Super Bowl XXXV Amy was about a month pregnant with Joey. I think it worked out to our trip to AZ in December! That desert air! Anyway, we know how that turned out so GET CRACKING!

Oh yeah, and see Admin's note regarding those Cohibas and :thumbup: to camden for the call!

[GreenWave52]

Sorry it took so long for me to post in this thread. Congrats go out to both Fells and IJ. All we need now is 19 more propsals by posters (we can take the bye week off and if we get it, the first round bye).

[RavenScallywag]

I'm getting married Saturday, do you think that'll count for the Raiders game?

[GreenWave52]

Thats what I'm talking about Scallywag! Way to step up (and congrats too).

[italianjoker]

way to "take one for the team" Scallywag. now, who has the rest of the season covered?

[highwater]

I'm getting married Saturday, do you think that'll count for the Raiders game?

Sorry Scallywag, the Raiders game is a gimme, can you postpone the wedding until the Chargers game? It's only a few more weeks!

We'll appreciate it! :thumbup:

[Greg]

He should get married immediately and start working on that first child!

[RAVENOUS52]

Although Greg happens to be a genetic jackhammer when it comes to planting his, err..."seed", I wouldn't necessarily advocate you being so quick to impregnate the missus, mate...

You have your whole lives ahead of you to start a family, so making sure you're financially and emotionally ready for such a step is wise...(Who am I Dr. Phil??!!!)

Anyways, CONGRATS brother!! Ship my Cohiba to Camp Pendleton and we'll call it even...:thumbup:

[FellsPointRaven]

Rav52 - PM me your address and consider it done! Or if they're giving you leave so you can catch a game this season, I can have it waiting for you at the tailgate lot.
