Engagement Announcement!

csuhockey3 · 06-25-2005, 03:50 AM

Hello!

Some fun news I would like to share with my fellow forum members -- I proposed to my girlfriend Megan on Thursday and she said yes! I took her to Spindle point (on the boat) and I had her pull the ring up on a fishing line. Of course, I now call it a rock fish, not a ring. I Thought it was a little risky to do it that way, but it was fun and she never would have expected THAT!
It got me thinking, how many of you have asked/had marraige proposals on the lake? This is the most special place in the world for me, and now it's very special to the both of us! Thanks for letting me share my story and I look forward to hearing some of yours! There are pictures on the photopost!

Cheers!

Mike

Congratulations!

It's nice that the Lake is considered so special, and I think that's a clever and surprising way of introducing "the subject".

Island Girl · 06-25-2005, 07:28 AM

My very best wished to you and Megan. May you life together be long and joyous!

Rattlesnake Gal · 06-25-2005, 07:44 AM

Congratulations Mike and Megan!
What a romantic way to propose.

Best wishes for a long and happy life together.

Congratulations!

But what if a big fish had struck on that shiny bait?

Congrats. Neat idea. Wish I'd thought of it 17 years ago when it was my time to do the same thing.

All the best to both of you!

What a unique way to "pop the question". Surely a memory to last a lifetime. Heres to health and happiness all the days of your lives.

csuhockey3 · 06-29-2005, 02:10 AM

We have talked already about the when/where. I think we will have a regular wedding in Colorado and a second reception in here New Hampshire for friends and family that can't make the trip out west. Thank you all for your well wishes, we appreciate them and will keep you posted! I always knew my best catch would be out of lake winnipesaukee!

Congratulations!
My son proposed to his wife on our dock the first weekend after ice-out. We are on Bear Island so he had to wait for Mother Nature.
