For those of you who might have run into me at a pipe show, you'll see I nearly always have my girlfriend (now fiancee) with me. When I see old friends and she's not immediately visible, it's not-- "Hey Dan, good to see you!"-- it's "Where's Gabbie?" Like I'm chopped liver or some such :lol:. She's a gem! I popped the question on Christmas Eve and to my great happiness she accepted. Just figured I'd share with my forum friends. Raise a pipe for this lucky guy when you next light up!
I got engaged!

Congrats Dan! I take it you gave your girl an engagement Castello with the diamond in the stem? :roll: Best wishes to the both of you!
Congrats! :clap:
It was 8 years ago on x-mas eve that I did the same thing. Kinda funny story, actually. At the time, my wife needed a part for her car and I jokingly told her that I would get it for x-mas and fix her car. Well, when x-mas eve came around, there was a ring sized box placed under the tree along with some others. When she got to that one, you could see the reserved excitement building. Upon opening the package ... there was the car part she needed! 8O However, while she was distracted and confused, I had reached into my pocket, grabbed the ring and dropped to one knee. Not a dry eye in the room!
I wish many years of happiness for you both and raise a bowl in celebration! :
