Monkey Love. Just a congratulations to our own Kimberly and Jim_T.
  • I'm told the first 33 years are the hardest. ;) congrats! spill!
  • So thats what makes you happy, Kimberly.
  • *sniff* Yeah :D Thank you!
  • so! details! proposal! ring! etc.!
  • Oh and as far as the spillage ... We were at a friend's 5th wedding anniversary, drunk on sake and talking about the future. In some ways it seemed like a forgone conclusion (we've been together two years next month and are getting ready to move across country with each other this fall), but let me tell you there's a huge difference between forgone conclusion and engaged. I'm the luckiest woman on this planet and don't think I don't rediscover that fact every day. Thanks for the congratulations Scott. I really appreciate it. * sniffs again *
  • Congratulations you two! Don't you go ruining homosexual marriage, now... /self-mockery_derail
  • Oh and the ring is forthcoming. Originally it was a bean sprout and it evolved to a key chain. We're in the process of picking one out. We're thinking titanium.
  • Oh and the ring is forthcoming. Originally it was a bean sprout And they say romance is dead...
  • It was totally spur of the moment. I was actually looking for the metal tamper-proof ring from one of the bottles of saki, but I could not find one. That's where the beansprout came into the picture. It was on the plate in front of me. When I realized that the sprout would last for all of 2 days before needing to be replaced, I grabbed my keys.
  • Yay guys!
  • You're welcome. If Jim's quick thinking in regards to the bean sprout is any sign, you guys will be together and happy for a long time, and deservedly so.
  • Congratulations! Titanium is great, it bends but never breaks.
  • Much love and happiness to the both of you. Now it's time to carry on the tradition of newly engaged couples everywhere: buy a dozen bridal magazines, and start boring the heck out of him with very elaborate and outrageously expensive wedding plans. ;)
  • Good grief! I read that as 'tampon-proof'. I wish you both joy, understanding and patience.
  • Haaaa! Darshon, you made me choke. That is just so wrong.
  • Congratulations! I'm heading that way meself. Many happy years of togetherness for you two.
  • Woot woot! Many years of banana-happiness to you both!
  • titanium rings are awesome -- I plan on getting a pair for an upcoming anniversary. Congratulations Kimberly, may you be blessed with years of joy and happiness. advice : agree not to fight about money or where things in the kitchen go.
  • Multitudinous congratulations and wishes of lifelong togetherhappiness! (I think this would've happened the night of the Meetup if Space Kitty wasn't hanging around flashing her Citrus Flavored Bits) So... Have you considered having the wedding in L.A. just so you have ONE happy memory of this town? And which Monkeys sit on the bride's side and which on the groom's side?
  • Congratulations, you two, and may you have many long years of wedded bliss. And monkeys. Obviously.
  • Congrats guys
  • Yay! Ooh, we have to pick the dress, and the flowers... Lavender is very in this year. Are we having a big church do, or a little private thing? Ooh! and the caterers! I know this darling couple from out of state, do traditional Moroccan fare, simply stunning.

  • Many congrats, Kim and Jim! I must also put in a plug for titanium rings. We went for titanium after we realized we could never afford these Also, you never know when you could need to save yourself from drowning by keeping a hydraulic emergency door from shutting.
  • Congratulations! This man makes very beautiful titanium rings.
  • Congratulations to you both! Caution live frogs is right, a happy marriage takes work, but it's so worth it. Regarding the stress of wedding plans, my sister gave me the best piece of advice I've ever received: you can both have nervous breakdowns, just not at the same time. Have fun, and best of luck to you both!
  • Congratulations! And take care of each other.
  • "There's only one way to have a happy marriage and as soon as I learn what it is I'll get married again." -Clint Eastwood Congratulations Kimberly and Jim!

  • "O, two such silver currents, when they join, do glorify the banks than bound them in." -Shakespeare Congratulations :)
  • Congratulations and best wishes! I've never known a couple so suited to one another. It has been *such* a great experience watching these two monkeys find each other & create a beautiful life together. And this is only the beginning! Mwaaa! (For those of you keeping track at home, I'm a.k.a. Rita at Squoogy)
  • Congratulations!
  • Three words for everyone: Monkey Bachelor Party. A bachelor party so amazing that legislation will be drafted to keep such an event from ever happening again. A party of such proportion that even Truman Capote would have been left speechless; so debauched that those that wake up naked, freshly-tattoed and hung-over in Tijuana dumpsters will be considered boring. Cults will be started in memory of the event; participants will be spoken of in hushed reverential tones. They will never need to make restaurant reservations again -- tables will always be available for them and their servers will decline gratuities. A soiree of staggering levels that even though it starts in Las Vegas, the city's party-containment capabilities will spontaneously burst and leak out to neighboring states -- what we monkeys start in Las Vegas can't be contained by Las Vegas! Hookers will convert and turn to nuns, nuns will start turning tricks, and every Elvis impersonator who lays eyes on our reign will retire to take up accounting! The tortured soul of Frank Sinatra will be laid to rest finally knowing that the board has a new chairman! A congressional inquiry will be held, but nobody will be capable of making us testify, either publically or privately! Who's with me?!
  • I'll drive.
  • "Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness." - Bertrand Russell [bean sprout]
  • Haaaaa. Well the party would have to be in Colorado. I think it's a great idea. And I'm ok with strippers. No porn stars, but strippers are ok. :D Thanks again to everyone who wished us well. It means a lot to me. You guys rock.
  • Kimberly: Well the party would have to be in Colorado. Fair enough. I live in Westminster.
  • Congrats kiddies.
  • Congratulations. :) .
  • Congrats, best of luck and happy love!
  • Oh, my sweet lord, boo_radley - get out of my BRAIN! LET THE PARTY BEGIN!
  • Boo, I think you just got elected to spearhead the creation of The Bachelor Partyâ„¢. Funny snippet: Kimberly and I watch Family Business, the Showtime original series that follows the adventures of porn entrepreneur Seymour Butts, and his family-run adult entertainment company. Hella HELLA funny. And hella HELLA scary at times. Anywho, in this last week's episode, Seymour (a.k.a. Adam) wants to branch into a new business... organizing bachelor parties. Kimberly looked at me and said "NO PORN STARS!" Okay, I thought it was funny.
  • Whoa! Mazel tov, y'all! /embarrassed that he knows who Seymour Butts is
