An African Engagement

Postby beetleboy on Mon Jan 08, 2007 10:19 pm

Hey guys..

Just wanted to let y'all know that I popped the question to Lisa on New Years while we were in South Africa and we are now engaged!

Anyone have a pair of bolt-cutters? He he!

Cheers!

I had the ring made by a local based on a design by Shimansky - she chose it about 2 years ago when we were in Cape Town and she was blown away when I produced it!! Surprised?! Hell yes! Mission Accomplished :D

Anyone know a good photographer around Joburg that's avail late next year?!!!

That's the least you could do Liam, after forcing her to do ironing and watch TV in the back alley!!

congrats Liam and Lisa.

Liam and Lisa - congratulations

Liam - buy all the gear you need NOW. Once Lisa has complete control of the finances your (gear) lusts will be forever unsatisfied :lol: :wink:
