So a follow up on my new romance, [View all]

I did the most corniest thing, but not for mine and her generation, I invited her to a nice restaurant and halfway through dinner, I got down on one knee and proposed to her and she said....YES!!!

A new chapter in my life is starting and I'm giddy with happiness.
Excuse me, I've had a couple of shots of Vodka to celebrate my coming 2nd marriage.
