You have my deepest sympathy...

You know the old say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free"

If you have not presented the ring, remember, you can always take it back to the store and use the money for more tools..

Yup I could have bought a nice snap on tool set for the price of that ring

Congrats! Any pics of the new shop helper

Haha, shop helper. that'll be the day. She's def too much of a girly girl to get her hands dirty in the shop, although she does put up with my addiction to tinkering with stuff and spending a good deal of my free time in the garage.

She's my highschool sweetheart, and I'm 29 and she's 30, so you do the math on how long we've been together

Awesome, congrats! She definitely sounds (and looks) like a keeper.

My ex gf was the same way, basically. Her philosophy was "Don't ask me to understand or enjoy what you do in the garage, and I won't ***** about you doing it."

Dude... you are WAAAY over-chicked


ps. congrats

 

[bry@n]

Congrats. She certainly sounds like a keeper.
Good luck.

 

[64merc]

Wow dude, I'm surprised she stayed with you so long without a ring. After a couple of years I started feeling the pressure big time!! You have my sympathy, errr....I mean, congratulations

 

[Deafautotech]

congrat to you!! that would be good for marriage as being together for like 10 years so each other would see what it look like before married..

maybe it is time for me to find a babe to date??? i already has tons of tools and still buy some of tools. i just hate to be single too much as i like have time with babe like go on harley ride or hang out instead go ********** or bar many times...

 

[SpiderGearsMan]

I bought mine a car in lieau of an engagement ring

World's shortest fairy tale:

This very handsome prince asked the very lovely princess, if whe would marry him.

She replied, "no."

The prince lived happily ever after.

Just kidding, good luck. I am certain it won't take you long to get your priorities back in order.

[Moose-LandTran]

Congrats!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[Adam McLaughlin]

Naw, I think what he has done is WAAAAY more exciting; she 's a treat!

Congratulations to you!

Adam

 

[KraftwerkMk1Jetta]

Thanks fellas! Good to hear words of encouragment from those who have already been suckered in...err I mean taken the plunge

 

[Adam McLaughlin]

Nwaaaah. If you two have made it work for the last decade, what could you possibly do to change anything now?

I think you'll be just fine. Hey - Congratulations again!

Adam

 

[T56 Impala]

Congrats! I wish you both long life, love and all the best life has to offer. Good Luck!

 

[jay50]

On second thought, after seeing the pic of the future bride, all I can say is congratulations and you lucky *******....LOL

 

[billymade]

You guys look like you enjoy being together and have fun with each other.... thats cool in this day and age... good luck!

 

[Deafautotech]

that is good one!!

 

[Mellotron]

Congratulations!

 

[Danglerb]

SnapOn doesn't make a ring?

 

[Bolster]

I think you're a very attractive couple...hope we can see little wrenchers soon. Ignore the guys who talk trash about marriage...the data is in, research shows men live happier and healthier lives when (happily) married. And they live longer too.

Mazeltov!

 

[zuspiel]

Congrats! You guys will do great, having known each other for so long. That's the way to go. I don't get how people can get married without having lived together for a while. My wife and I lived together for three years before getting hitched and we're still happily married

Hmmm, maybe SnapOn has a gift registry. You might want to check that out...

 

[zuspiel]

I think you're a very attractive couple..

The bride certainly is. I think the jury's still out on Kraftwerk and the doggy

Just messing with you

 

[autoace]

Congrats! The photo brought back memories, of what my wife used to look like, before having our children, now I feel deprived.

 

[elect]

CONGRATS!!! May you have many happy healthy years and as many young as you desire!

 

[Nuit Damnant]

Congrats! Some things are more important than being able to afford more tools! Not many things, but some things

 

[mkdive]

Congrats!! Welcome to the club. Give it a year or so then start buying some tools again. The ring I bought Ms mkdive could have paid for a huge SO box fully loaded & then some!!! Owell she has been great about letting me continue buying tools, motorcycles, & toys. Hope your new wife is as understanding as mine!

The groom looks a little like Lars from Metallica



j/k. Marriage is actually a good thing - made a HUGE difference in my life. Then again, my wife will buy me Snap On stuff... maybe we should have my wife talk to your bride???

 

[davestlouis]

Ya lucky dog, she's cute. Once she gets the ring she can start eating all the desserts she has passed up over the past 10 years, like my first wife did...just kidding! Anyway, if you have known each other this long, and you can still stand teh sight of each other, you should be good-to-go.

 

[Merkava_4]

I was gonna say forget it until I saw her picture. She's got some strong arms and one heluva good lookin' rump-roast on her.

 

[rsanter]

I didnt get married untill I was 29.
when I asked her to marry me I added a little clause before she could her answer.
I told her that I was too old to change my ways now, I have had alot of cars and will have alot more and I have lots of tools and will have more. I told her that she dosent have to like them but she cannot complain about them.
she said yes in spite of all that.
she has only posted a couple of slight complaints about the number of tools I have...untill she connected the fact that everything she wanted fixed or built got done with the tools.
she has never complained about a tool purchase since and has even encouraged the purchase of a tool that would get something done that she wanted.

[hobie1dog]

Congrats, she's a keeper for sure.

 

[Bolster]

Ah, causal reasoning. My wife still struggles with the correlation between my tools filling the garage, and everything around here getting built, fixed, & maintained... but she's sweet about it. All I get is a sarcastic snigger and a wag of the head from time to time.

 

[cnyeco1]

My sympathies are with you in this difficult time in your life. Just kidding, good luck and congrats...
