Yeah, she's the one.

We're sitting at our side-by-side desks at home and I'm doing work-work, while she is working on our wedding invitations. Of note, she's NOT a car-person at all, but appreciates my hobbies very well.

She asks me what I think about changing a line of text. I reply with: "What about somethingsomething too many words?"

Her: "Mmm. Too long. serious voice 'Simplify and add lightness.'"

Me: about falls out of my chair laughing.

I've got a blipshift shirt with the quote on it that I explained to her some time in the past. I'm a lucky guy.

Awesome. Try not to bring it back up when discussing dresses, music, flowers, etc.

just dont use it if she asked if you think she is fat...

Boy, she's a home run...(;)

I'm about to dive into wedding planning with my fiancée. I feel like that phrase might come in handy This thread made me laugh.

I would tell you to marry her but it sounds like you have that part covered already.

Maybe you better elope before she changes her mind.

That's what she wants you to think. Wait 'till after the wedding....

you may find it hard to believe, but some women actually care about what makes their partners happy...

awesome, man. Kinda knew mine was the one right away as well. Even though she was a pageant queen and former state "teen miss" runner up in the mid '80's (yes, I married waaaaaaayup, I'm still not sure wtf she was thinking LOL), she loved cars, drove a 1st gen MR2, had never owned a car with an auto, and just a few years after we got married in '95 she won a Corvette Club autocross championship. While pregnant with our daughter (yes, in retrospect that was maybe dumb, but she refused to quit once she had the points lead. )

And even though her daily is a JK Jeep Wrangler, she loves Lotus cars like no person I've ever known. She insisted our daughter's middle name be 'Elise.' I'm going to have to buy her one someday.

Funny you say that. An orange Elise dropped into my lap yesterday at a really good price. I sent the wife a text:

"I just ran across my dream car. It's a Lotus."

without missing a beat she responded

"When are you bringing it home?"

It's a myth, dude. No different than Big-squat, or whatever that big hairy-assed thing that apparently wanders around in the woods is that people seem to believe exists.

Our older daughter also has Elise as a middle name. Good to have spouses that get it

My wife has been hitting it out of the park this year...

We started looking at houses and she found one well within our price range that has a two car attached and a generously sized two car detached with its own heat and aircon right out of the gate. (which is unheard of commutable to DC)

So, we looked at a few more and kept coming back to it and decide to put in an offer and she tells me that there is something she needs to tell me so that I dont freak out about money stuff (which I do sometimes). She had allready gotten me a combination valentines, birthday, and christmas gift for this year... Tickets to the USGP in Austin TX

This is usually the place where someone jokes about waking up, but its not a joke. We have lodging arranged and are progressing on closing on that garage.

And on the name thing, we named a cat Cooper Monaco Healey the other year together.

Saw this and thought yeah....until they get Americanized.

My Korean wife seemed to start that way when I brought her to the states. Now 35 years later almost fully Americanized. But she still tolerates me so I'll keep her....or the other way around.
