Sweety, congratulations on your 29th birthday! Just one more year and then you'll be old like the rest of us ;-))

All my love!

Gosh Marc I just finished icing the cake!!!!

Happy Birthday, Kitty!!!!


Have you learned how to dive yet?

happy birthday kitty! wooohooo!

Happy Birthday Kitty! What a great place to be on your birthday...(or anyday!) Enjoy your day!

Hello everybody!!!!!

Thank you! This is so nice of you... I'm playing the happy birthday tune our deity posted

Learning to dive is still on my agenda, but you know how that goes. Ask me again next year.... :D

I am going to enjoy this day, I haven't had such a crowded birthday in years... Yippee!!!

Happy Birthday, Kitty! What a great place for your birthday.... hope you get to do whatever makes you happiest today!

Looking forward to meeting you at the BBQ at Jake and Linda's on July 8th.

Kelly

Oh, I think she's extremely happy today... [grin]

kitty, what did marc get you for your birthday?

Can't believe you would dare to ask, Cynde.....

Oh geez, Cynde... I have only told two colleagues and now three... And I think the third could not keep her mouth shut and so a fourth called me and wished me a happy birthday and asked if I got any presents... The fourth I didn't confirm it to (what the present was), because I had asked the third to keep it quiet....

Now, how cryptic can one be, huh? I'll just leave you guessing and we'll see who's going for the grand prize

But yes, as Marc says I am verrrrry happy today...

Kitty, Congratulations! I hope you'll enjoy your day!

Kitty, is it a ring?

I think it is a ring. COngratulations and happy birthday.

Kitty , happy birthday !!!

I'll bet marc got you a chinese goat .

And if not , well maybe ......

BTFW ; congratulation on MAXIMA's future to be baby too!!!
They used a whole full 10 minutes of the 8 o'clock news on that subject!!!

a special sunset to ya

I know a woman who asked her boyfriend to give her something absolutely useles for her birthday. She was imagining jewelry, but she got a hedgehog.

Kitty, Happy Birthday!!! Happy 29th! I'm turning 29 in a couple of months too! All the Best!

Kitty , an old dutch saying : ...

" van een bruiloft , komt een bruiloft"????
Or is everybody on the wrong track ?

jos

christine, we are thinking alike! either that and we are wrong, and kitty got a hedgehog!

Sheesh! Hope it's not a hedgehog....might be carrying Monkeypox.....Kitty , WHAT IS IT??? WHY the MYSTERY???

jos you might be right!! perhaps Kitty's real name is Cory???

Hahaha.... Nope, my real name is not Cory... But it could've been. ;)

Jos, you are right in a way (even though I did not catch Angela's bouquet), but there's no date set yet.

So, y'all were on the right track, even though there was no ring (diamonds are not my best friend and neither is jewelry). Actually, I should say no *new* ring, because we have already got our (engraved) rings that are very very dear to us....

congratulations kitty and marc

WHAT !!!!!

NO RING ????
NO DIAMONDS ????

NO WAY !!!!

As you would have probably guessed by now : I am rather shocked!!!

Here's the story : I proposed my wife on the Isle of Crete with a ring I've made as a final exam piece for my goldsmith education.
( yeah , I know , I'm a romantic fool.)

Nowadays I only work for closest friends, made a couple of weddingrings for some of my dearest friends in the last couple of years.
The true original touch, how about that?

( and theyre al still together , so ,.... magical jewelry .)

sjoske

He Guys, Congratulations. I hope you will have a day just as nice as ours.

And Kitty, how about the not catching part????

I think you were holding on to the bouquet pretty tight...

Hartelijk gefeliciteerd Kitty en Marc. Veel geluk samen.

Nice touch Martin. You were right, Kitty was really hanging on to the bouquet.

I was assured by everybody that it would only work if I would *catch* the bouquet when Angela threw it into the air like it usually goes. *Not* when the wedding photographer hands it to me so she can make pictures... But I guess it worked anyway...

Very nice story, Jos. Do you work with titanium as well? That's my favorite metal for jewelry... Like I said, diamonds (and gold) are not my cup of tea and no 'tradition' in marriage proposals is going to change that. I'm glad Marc didn't forget that, either... I might have said 'no' if he had shown me a golden ring with diamonds

LOL...

Yes, like Kitty said before we have rings already. Titanium (symbolizing our strong bond), with 2 lines of silver running parallel to eachother (symbolizing the way we keep eachother in balance, continuously). They are ingraved 2002, to which 03 and 04 (next year) will be added.

I figured if you can make the commitment of moving to another part of the world together (and not smack eachother off the island after 5 months), getting married is a comparatively small step to take
