Exactly 1 month till the big day Well, in one month I will be tying the knot. Have a great girl, so better not let her get away. She even let me get a turbo on the car despite all the wedding stuff we are paying for.
I am actually looking forward to the hawaii honeymoon more than the wedding itself. Have not a vacation for a while now.

Congrats man! 
I’ve been married now for over 7 years. Never had a regret, never had a doubt. As long as you get a good one, it’ll be the best thing that’s ever happened to you.
PS. It’s especially hard for those of us in this hobby to find an understanding wife, most women freak out when the see the sort of cash that people like us spend on cars. So when you find a auto-enthusiast friendly woman, you gotta hang on to her.

Thanks! You are right about the money. The amount of money I have spent over the past few months is no small chunk of change. But she supports my car hobby because she knows it makes me happy. Can't beat that in my book.

I'll never forget what she said to me, "I can't believe that you spent $2000 on that."
I said, "It was a little more than that."
She said, "How much more?"
I said, "Don't worry about it."
Yeah... that was a great day.

Congrats... I had a great time except for my dj playing a few songs on my 'no' list.
"Hey Joe wassup, that song is on my no-list, did you lose it?"
"Oh no Come on Eileen?"
"Um yup."
"k"
............
"Hey Joe Chicken Dance and the Macarena were also on the No List... getting upset..."
"oops"

Thanks fellas. I am looking forward to having a good time and relaxing afterwards.
NoMore, if the girl got pissed at you when the 2 of you were just dating I would say that is a bad sign.
Nick, she is a keeper. She will even help me work on the TA when I need a hand
Steve, we actually had the bachelor party about 1 month ago because my best man lives out of state and that is when he could get back here.
PSJ, I will keep that in mind. I actually had not thought much about the DJ till you said that.

After 13 years of marriage (all of them good) I was looking for a good party.

I'm headed out to US 41 on Saturday afternoon. I want to do some more testing before the 4.30 and spool. I know I will be going to Cordova on 10/15 for the Vikary fun day as well. I want to run the LS1 shootout at US41 on 9/23 if that is still a go.
And we can do a ranch day too.
