Engagement responses

Some funny, some kind, some ...

"Nice. Just one important piece of information to share as a married man: being engaged sucks. I've been there. So HAHA! Get married quickly. Erin, I'm here for you. If you need any dirt or if he gets out of line, you drop me a note. I'll fix it."

"I am SO happy for you! I can't wait to have a Great, Great Grand Big
in Law! Congratulations again, she is a very lucky lady! What a way to start the new year!"

"You just don't know that's like the best news I could have received at the beginning of the year. Wait till I tell ol' Danny :) AWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Its great when good things happen to good people...

take care,

and i'll be in touch..."

"I'm so excited for you. Read your blog and the relateds - you guys look spectacular together. I hope you are immensely happy."

"Haha, Mr. Card you never cease to amaze me. Engaged? This from the guy who was like… I am just going to sit back and be single… haha. Well, tell me a story. I must say I am proud of you, that is a big step."

"Holy crap. I never thought she'd agree to it.
:-)
Just kidding ... hearty congratulations"

"You rock. :)"

"You have no idea how hard it was to keep that secret during lunch. And thank you very very much for lunch and coming to see me. I had a very nice time and Erin is absolutely wonderful and perfect for you.I definitely had to bite my tongue several times to escape screaming "i'm so happy for you both!""

"Joey! That’s SOOOOOOO exciting!!!! Congrats to the both of you! Erin is such a sweet girl and you are such a standup guy..what a great combination!! Thank you so much for sharing with me and I wish you two the absolute best!!! Ps. nice pickin with the ring!!"

"Wow. Congratulations, Joey!!! I'm impressed that there were no hitches in your plan. :o)"

"congrats! she's a lucky gal to get such a great guy like you who has Jesus at the center...may God bless you both from now and on into marriage....God is good...."

"Hey Great Grand Big!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I'm so glad to hear that you are engaged!!! I remember
you mentioning your devious plan of New Years and I could not stop wondering
what the result was! Thanks for e-mail letting us know! Congrats again Rex!!!
Both of you are such wonderful people and I'm so happy for the two of you! :)"

"Awww!! CONGRATULATIONS GREAT-GRAND BIG!!! I'm so happy for you :-) It
sounded like a great night, and it sounds like you've found yourself a
fabulous lady!! :-)"

"Congrats you guys! You two were absolutely made for each other, there is no
doubt in my mind. While I realize that I haven't known either of you for more
than a full year, I feel like we bonded well, more so than the vast majority
of people I have had the pleasure of meeting. You two together are the most
warm and inviting bunch I have ever met, and serve as the ideal in terms of
relationships to try to emulate, at least in my experience from seeing you
together. I'm so happy for you!

Can't wait to see you all in the spring!"

"Congratulations! Pete and I were discussing this this weekend and couldn't quite remember if it was supposed to be on the 1st or the 2nd. We figured we'd hear from you when she had said yes. Good to hear man, add another wedding to the 2006 itinerary!"

"That was the first blog I've read in a long, long time! Congratulations,
Joey, really...there's no question that you're going to be fantastic, and if
your judgment in wives is as good as your throwing arm, she'll be absolutely
wonderful to you, too..."

"Well congratulations !!! to you and Erin. I'm glad I got the opportunity to meet her( and your dad too ) at our tailgate. Being married is wonderful. It's filled with highs and lows like anythng else but experiencing those highs and lows with the person you love makes life what it was meant to be. I'd wish you good luck but, luck is just a small piece of it. It takes love, and hard work to make a marriage fun and worthwhile. I'm happy and thrilled for you."

"Another one down and another one down and another one bites the dust!!!"

"I hear you're about to put on the worlds smallest handcuffs. Seriously, congratulations on your engagement!"

"The beginning of your troubles......ha ha ha....."

"I know you are on cloud nine right now... and she is on cloud 109!!!!!!!!!"

"I just wanted to send my sentiments of jubilation for your announcement on your engagement! I know we talked about your plan at Jared and Jaime's wedding and I am just so incredibly happy for you. It must be such a wonderful feeling to be so in love with a person... and then make the decision that you want to spend the rest of your life with them! You truly must be on Cloud Nine.... I can't wait to meet your fiance as she must be one incredible woman! I wish you all the love and happiness in the world and I hope you enjoy every moment of these exciting times as well as many more moments with her to come! Congratulations on such a wonderful moment..."
