There is some very good news afoot that we would like to share with you. We say "we" because both Terri (Morticia )and Allan Clark (Allan C. ) are speaking to you together by way of this thread. We know that rumors have already begun to spread with regard to us and so we want very much to tell you the whole story as it should be told.

The two of us have been corresponding for quite some time. We first met face to face last year when Terri traveled to America for a visit and to attend the FSGW Getaway. Allan reciprocated just this past May with a visit to England. The two of us could not have had a more wonderful time together and have decided that visits are just not enough.

Therefore, it is with excitement and pleasure that we are happy to be able to tell you that we are in the midst of making plans for a life together. Among the many exciting issues born of those plans is that Allan will be moving to England. There are many practical issues that will prevent our marriage from taking place in the immediate future; but be assured that all energies are pointed toward that goal.

When plans are more developed, you can be sure we will make them known. Meanwhile, we hope you will share in our happiness. Your friendship has meant much to one or the other or the both of us and we hope our combined friendship will prove to be worthy of your continued love and support.

Much love from both of us,

Terri and Allan

The critters and I are still dancing the *conga* here, jumping up and down for joy! And the cats even got FRESH catnip, so you know it's a wild celebration! The dog celebrated more sedately, by eating an ice cream cone in two gulps!

Lots and lots of love and hugs and snogs!!

And the Getaway makes a fine honeymoon destination as well. That's where JtS and I went for ours. Ferrara called it our "Gettymoon".

I posted something about this somewhere but I hadn't seen this thread so once again I look like an idiot posting so late. Ferchrissakes even Joe Offer posted on this one!!!

Well Guys, I can only say how happy I am once again and am glad this particular cat is out of the bag. Good things can and do happen to good people and I can't think of anyone who deserves this more than the two of you. I'd make some joke about having the wedding in the nude so everyone could see who the Best Man really is but Micca would take it seriously and we've all seen enough (more than enough actually) of that hairy little fart. AS a matter of fact, try to keep him out of the kilt too and get him to wear a decent pair of pants. I mean, even the knees are too much! Geeziz, just thinking about it makes me nauseated.......Wait a minute while I grab a swig of Maalox............................ ..........................

Okay, that's better. .......*burp*........Yeah, there we go........Anyway, may the best of all things be yours and if they aren't maybe you could get in touch with Bruce Reynolds and he could "acquire" them for you. Much Love to you both.

Will you bring Alan back to Yorkshire, my time meeting him was all too short.
