| Hi!
Congrats!
Are Adidas assymetrics made in toddler sizes? Will grub screws be used instead of rice? 
Have a nice time!

| Thanks one and all!
hmmm... all things to look into... though I think it is a bit early to go and buy a toddler sized lame . Typical of F.net, I think... just announced the engagement and people are already grooming future children for fencing  . I can see it now... instead of first words being things like "car" or "cat" or somesuch, more like "lunge" or "disengage" . And the epeeists sneaking over and trying to teach epee to the poor child .
Anyways, thanks tons!

| Hmm... Right-of-Way is only used when wearing a lamé... so a nice, shiny, COLOURED lamé can scare away all.... problems. | |

The smell remarks really seem to annoy you for some reason. Striking too close to home, perhaps?

| I don't know you guys, but congratulations.
Somethings my wife and I say to each other:
"You're right, I was wrong, I'm sorry." Saves a lot of time arguing and more time for 'other' things.

| I don't mean to rain on your parade but um... isn't this a little rash? You known each other through the internet for a few months met for a week and BAM! You're getting married. Wow. I know you're both young and in love and those hormones are kicking but have you thought this completely through? There are a lot of things you're not even beginning to touch on. Like all those bad habits the other person has that you haven't dealt with yet. When you haven't spend long amount of time in the person's company to know what they are and get used to them. Not to even mention the culture shock. West Coast American and Hungarian, there are going to be some things that you haven't thought of yet. My advice to you is to wait a while get to know the other a bit more first. I know I'm going to catch a lot of heat for this, but it would be a big shame to see something you're so passionate about fall through don't you think? I think a little practicality is called for here. | |

| You know a lot of people enter into marriage without knowing what they're getting themselves into. Some stay married, some don't. We all live with the decisions we make.
Most of us know the couple from their posts and pictures... and that's it. Offering advice on whether they should or shouldn't get married seems a little silly don't you think? What on earth can we base our advice on? A scant bit of information....
Relax, Serpentile6! I'm sure they have plenty of friends and family to say "What the #%@*! are you doing???"

| Don't forget that they also said that they're engaged now to be married in a longer term... indicating that they're going to wait a while. | |
