No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals?

Subject: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals?
From: Jack the Sailor

WE'LL RANT AND WE'LL ROAR
My name it is Robert, they call me the Sailor;
I sail on the Mudcat and have lots of fun.
Well I never thought that I'd find me a lady
But now I'm convinced that she is the one.
chorus:
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Newfoundlanders,
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below
We'll drive and we'll drive 'til we see North Sydney
Then onto the Ferry to Newfie we'll go.
Now my little lady she eats only veggies.
With organic milk and a hen's egg or two.
But she's a fine little sea cook when she stands in the galley
She can make a fine feast out of greens and tofu.

chorus:

Well my voyage has been good, So I'm ready to do it;
A couple of thou for the rings and the rest
A couple o' dollars for clean shirt and collars,
And everything else on Amer'can Express

chorus:

Now my little maid is in love with my country
And my little maiden is in love with me
And when we've been married for three years she will be
A compatriot and so proud I'll be

chorus:

Farewell and adieu to ye fair ones of Mudcat,
Farewell and adieu to ye girls in the net;
I'm bound to my lady, and never to wander,
If she will just take now my hand for to wed.

chorus:

Come on all you laddies and lassies of Mudcat
Come dancers and singers where ever you be
We're sure to invite you to dance at our wedding
The joy of this moment we will share with thee

chorus:

My lassie and I well we met on the Mudcat
When my lady met me she made me at home
We had a fine party in that hoser tavern
A party we still have when we're on our own

chorus:

Was that a cod fish I had in my pocket
Well I'll never tell but I will tell you this
She's the loveliest woman I ever laid eyes on
And my cod gets excited whenever we kiss

chorus:

Carol......

Oh you're my best friend, you're my soul and my lover
my night and morning, beginning and end
You are the woman I worship and cherish
I want to get married so you just say when.

Will you marry me
CarolC??

When my buddies from the Sons Of Erin, Little John Cameron and Ralph O'Brien moved to the Rock, I had my suspicions confirmed.....it's a hell of a good place and the people are number one!

Congrats you guys!

PS .I like the sound of this guy, Carol C. He asks you to marry him to get you to come along to Newfoundland. I seem to attract the ones who want me to move across country to their town before they will make any promises...

Why don't more men understand that a woman needs a firm offer just like anyone else who is going to take a big risk like moving?

From: Jack the Sailor

smallpiper, Willie-O... There's talking about "splicing" and then there is demonstrating one's feelings in a romantic and public way. This way completely compliments the manner in which we came together! We first communicated on Carol's "Hoser Tavern" thread. I certainly knew that she wants to get married. But she still could have said "no" here in the MudCat.

Well, good things come outta Hoser Taverns, sometimes.

Now repeat after me:

"I'm a man

But I can change

If I hafta

I guess..."

I gotta say, though, if the lass wants to become a Canadian, makin her a Newfoundlander is kind of an end run...

No, Please, Put down the bottle of Screech. (Prefereably blunt end down.)

Hope Carol has a tolerance for inclement weather.

I'm speakin from experience, my Jersey-bred partner has been here for 18 years and is still nostalgic for South Jersey winters, which don't hardly even happen.

No problem to find MudCatters on the Rock to play at your wedding. I just came from our music camp in Gros Morne (Western Nfld) - lots of new young talent there. PM me the date of the big day and I'll take it from there.

With all the songwriting talent at the MudCat, we should have no problem getting some great songs!

I promise CarolC we'll even have a piano accordion player for the processional.

Congrats, Vinland

From: Jack the Sailor

Thank you Vinland! We wanted to marry on The Rock. But circumstances won't allow that. We'll be getting hitched sometime this year, Probably in the Washington DC area. Carol is partial to the weekend of Canadian Thanksgiving for the date. When we pick a time and place we'll be sure to let you all know. We intend to go to Newfoundland next summer. Hopefully we'll see the Newfie catters then.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

This may sound odd but Carol is my little piece of Canada, here in the USA. We listen to Newfoundland music, watch Canadian programming and love to talk about the Great White North. She is about the most Canadian person I've ever known. That's one of the many reasons I love her and have no doubts about our future. Carol is my home. We share a great interest in my homeland and I am so looking forward to seeing it again, through her eyes.

Cheers everyone
Thank you all for your kindness

Oh congratulations...this is wonderful..

and here is a little song..sort of a sad last verse but the rest are happy...

Through oceans of distance my memory returns
To a youth spent with minkes and puffins and terns
I was born on this rock and cradled in ice
and the place that I come from is called Paradise

Paradise in the spring Paradise in the fall
at this time of my life it's the best place of all

and then I grew older from girl into maid
hurry up hurry up boys unless you're afraid
there was one I set eyes on one frosty cold night
and our first habitation was in Heart's Delight

Heart's Delight in the spring Heart's Delight in the fall
at this time of our life it's the best place of all

We knew pretty well what the future would bring
the flakes in the summer the floes in the spring
and the years rolled upon us and the years were well spent
and the place that we settled was called Heart's Content

Heart's COntent in the spring Heart's Content in the fall
at this time of my life it's the best place of all

For I was the bay girl and he the bay boy
and he filled my whole life with kinship and joy
and now he is gone and I'm burdened with care
and the place I am going is called Bay Despair
Bay Despair in the spring Bay Despair in the fall
at this time of my life it's the best place of all

Thank you everyone, for your kind and loving words, and your good thoughts and wishes. I'm so thankful that the beginning of my life with Rob is being blessed by all of you lovely people in such a beautiful way.

Rob is a dear, sweet, handsome man, and the two of us make a good team. He is everything I could have hoped for in a partner, and more. And he makes me laugh. What could be better than that?

::wipes away some tears, but they just keep on coming::

How wonderful for you to have met and loved here and then to have found it was the same (even better!) in Real Life. I met my Beloved on the internet in a group like this. I've been living with him for two years now and every day is a joy, even in the face of some pretty huge obstacles. My wish for you both is the same kind of deep ongoing joy in each other. He'll be a Canadian, to, one of these years!

CarolC, I just missed you when you came to Orillia, and I was sorry for that. But Washington DC is only a few (5 or 6) hours away from where I am now. (HINT!) ;`)

Again, Bless you both!

you can rely on that
you are locked

So, I get this call at nearly 11 at night. It's my sister, CarolC. She wants to talk to me before I read a certain thread at the 'Cat. Man...the things that happen when you go away for 2 weeks. ;)

I am related to this woman, and I had no idea she was even involved with anyone. :::snort!!:::

So, I went looking for a pic of Jack the Sailor, and I replied to his PM, warning me ahead of time so I would not be blown over ;) (sprry, m'lad...too late!)

But there are no pics of Jack the Sailor. I'd really like to see what my new bro-in-law looks like before I meet him in person. I think it would be nice to carry on the tradition Carol started, and talk to him and see him for the first time on the web.

I am completely tickled here. All I can say is, it's about time she had some happiness. I am all for that. So, keep her happy, Jack...or you'll have a little red headed spitfire to answer to. >;D

I do sing such songs! But that is not the reason for that name! Carol, from the first time we Met on the 'Cat, is the reason for that name.

Go to Mudcat Hoser Tavern! (the thread) Carol starts talking about her love for Canada, which impresses the he11 out of me! I decide to pay her back by introducing her to Newfoundland! She likes that so much that I choose a Mudcat name which embodies the seagoing, fun-loving spirit of Newfoundland. The character from this song! JACK WAS EVERY INCH A SAILOR

If you read the thread carefully you will see us flirting and me sticking up for her when someone tries to curtail her accordion playing! I still would do that! I love her accordion playing now that I've heard her in real life!

Carol... I missed this thread until Hesperis brought it to my attention.. Many congratulations and best wishes to you both, Jack, You are one lucky guy as Carol is one of the nicest 'Catters I have been lucky enough to meet in 3D, and if she cares for you then you need no other introduction or recommendation for me. May you have a long and happy life together, not being able to congratulate you in person makes my absence from the Getaway, this year, that bit harder to bear, Morty will have to do the honours on my behalf, and if you guys fancy a trip to England.. you have somewhere to stay.. big hugs and much of all the good stuff, Micca

Ah, this explains the MHT thread. I was thrown off by the reference to CarolC as a Southern Belle. Since when is a New England Yankee a Southern Belle?

MAG, who has her computer back, as well as her correct handle.

Just back from many distractions, including my 49th wedding anniversary, I almost mssed this thread because of its terrible title, and her I am trying to hunt and peck through tear-blurred eyes.

Congratulations and all good wishes for your 50th! Remember that obvious love and music will handle 99% of your future, but the last 1% will take plain hard work.

THIS IS GREAT!!!

Hmmmmm Sorry about the "Terrible Title" I guess "Will you marry me CarolC would have been more descriptive. But that would have ruined the suspense wouldn't it? Anyway, she read it. Thats the main thing!

Only one more week!!!


YaaaaHooooo

Thanks Micca!

Yeah, MAG, what's that southern belle thing all aboot, I wonder?

Thanks DonD!

Hey Dan! Que pasa?

Yup! One more week from today! I'm trying to pick out some music right now. JtS thinks "The Mary Ellen Carter" would be a good song to end the ceremony with ("rise again, rise again"). What do you-all think?

Carol ...The "Mary Ellen Carter" sounds good...rise again..rise again! You could team it up with "She"ll be Comin' 'Round the Mountain"...when she comes...when she comes!

Of course you're a southern belle, Carol. You're south of newfie-land, aren'tcha?

Will not make it in person, but will definitely be there in spirit! *Many, many hugs!*

LL... I like it! ("Questionable sense of humour" is my middle name ;-)

Awwwww! You will most certainly be missed, hesperis! We'll be making a trip to Ontario some time in the next year. Maybe we can come see you then.

So we'll be hitting the road for West Virginia and the DC area in a couple of hours. YeeeeHaaaa!!!! On the road again!
