Scared spitless! Afraid she'll say NO and I'll have to fall on my sword and afraid she'll say YES and then what will I do? She's way too good for me, so my brothers tell me. I have to agree with that. She's beautiful, sweet, and a class A lawyer with a good firm in Boston. If I goof up she's going to be able to sue me! Wish me luck.

Hey guys. Needless to say, I won't get a whole lot of sleep tonight. Way too keyed up and wound up. Fallon said "YES" and I went right over the moon. The bloody ring was too big and I said I'd take it to the jewelers and have it sized. She said that would be okay just as long as they could do it while it was on her hand. I think she liked it. Now I've got to go and get fitted for a tux and my brothers say also a ball and chain. I'm ignoring them.
I talked to my folks in Holland about an hour ago and they are happy for us both and especially me, as they love Fallon almost as much as I do. I think the deed will probably be accomplished sometime in November or around Christmastime which gives me time to finish school and get a good job "cheffing" and help bring home the bacon. We've decided that we want to cater our own reception - not because we're cheap but because we honestly think that between us, Mum and my aunt and (hopefully) some helpful hints and suggestions from you all, we can do the job better than having it done by strangers. But right now I can't think of very much other than the fact that I'm getting married in the foreseeable future and that's a scary proposition. But marrying her certainly isn't. God, I'm so lucky!
