We're a little roughed up from hiking all day, but here is a few shots of us sitting by the fire (which got much bigger) after she said yes.

The wine is a bottle that she picked out during one of our visits to a vineyard some time ago. The wine glasses were from our first wine tasting together.

She did not go to Lehigh with me, but she loves the big, brown sweatshirts. Very comfortable and very warm.

And yes, I know, that blanket is awfully close to the fire. We moved it back so Melissa's grandmom wouldn't catch fire ;)

Atta Boy.

Best Wishes for ya'll.

I hope you live a wonderful life together.

Andy, no need to make that mental note. I have a wide variety of wine glasses, including a set of red, white and two sets of stemless. 🙂 Oh, and I have two decanters as well!

Good to know what you DON'T need for a engagement or wedding gift! LOL

Great collage of pics, Steve! Beautiful bride! You should have a wonderful life together provided you remember to say "yes, dear", "that's fine, dear" , & "sorry" often. LOL!

God bless you both!

Hmm, I remember winning one or two matches against the Lehigh fencing team. (c;

My wife's cousin (Penny Savakis) worked for their PR department & my brother-in-law (John Fotopoulos) was a student/athlete there as well. Probably before your time.

Wow, definitely one of the high points in a life, to fall in love, plan a pre-nup together.

These two look so much alike, if they have kids, it'll be kind of hard to ask, 'so who does he/she look like, you or your spouse?'

I believe cloning is illegal in the US. Have fun trying anyway!

OK, I'm working on the pre-nup. Who gets the cigars if you break up? Also, we need to discuss my fee and just how many boxes of what that will be.

:)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BTW, grandmother? What, did you have a backup in case Jess said no?

Oops...Melissa. Damn, Steve, I can't keep them straight any more!

Congratulations again. I love the pics.

Congratulations!

Congratulations and best wishes!

Congrats SteveR!
