So I engaged my girlfriend with a surprise trip

Post by invertedattitude »

Moncton-New York-Dublin

Too much flying and layovers, but a beautiful trip, spent a day in New York city, followed by several days in Dublin, easily one of the most beautiful cities I've ever visited, slightly on the pricey side however... obviously she said yes...

We also visited various other places, but didn't want to completely clog it up with pictures.

Thanks all!

Regarding the burger picture, she was so excited to be eating McDonalds in Ireland she made me take the picture in the busy three storey building.

I told her then it would be one of the pictures at our wedding (joking off hand as I hadn't popped the question yet)

You can cut yourself a lot of slack in the future by how you repeat your vows....

.....my wife is married but I am not because she said " I do. "


and I said " I do?? "

I know, I figure she must be in it for the money? But she has to get my credit rating from my pilot training days :mrgreen:

I wish you all the best.



//edit by Sully. If a previous post has been modded, it's for a reason. It's not smart to post the exact same thing again.


//edit #2 by Sully. Congrats on the engagement! :D
