Where was Randall?

Postby Randall Roq » Sun Jan 15, 2006 6:07 am

Okay not exactly on EVERYONE'S mind but I'll answer anyway.

My girlfriend and I loaded up the IPod with a few hundred New Wave songs and headed out to Las Vegas.

And whilst out there we finally tied the knot!

It was getting a little silly at my age referring to my "girlfriend"...I had to grow up.

We had a great time staying at the Wynn and listening to the music that brought back so many memories for each of us. Yes, Mrs Randall is a fan of NW as well.

Thank you everyone!

We had a blast driving across the desert with the tunes blasting. I didn't win anything but I think I already had my allotment of good fortune.

I don't know if I'd be able to concentrate on tying the knot with all those slot machines ringing, and coins dropping, and casinos.....oh man, my eyes are glazing over...

On top of that they upgraded us to a suite on the top floor of the Wynn-2000 sq ft. Yeah, my eyes were glazed over alright!

That would be fantastic!! I think the only way I'll get the same suite is to pretend I'm getting married again...lol.

A NW night in Vegas? I'm up for that!!!

Congrats, big guy. You know you can still refer to her as your girlfriend. Even if she were a dude. Well, of course then you would have had to head out to Massachusetts to tie the knot.

I think I have proven beyond a reasonable doubt at this point that she is not a dude (not that there's anything wrong with that!)

And thanks again folks.

Most surprising thing for me is I never expected when I got hitched that it would feel so "right". I've never been happier and I'm glad I could share the news with you all.

Here's to a great year ahead for everyone!
