TeeJay

Please excuse the unshaven neck, and wonky tie, but this is just a quick and dirty photo of the combo I've settled on for my wedding. I picked up the tie today for

Indeed, I couldn't have put it any better myself, thank you very much, everyone who has, in whatever way, be it advise, gifts or purchases of my now disbanded collection, allowed this wedding and reception to go ahead as planned From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I have a feeling they're going to be spectacular, given the location

Never mind :lol Absolutely no idea, my friend... A lot of his assets were actually in his wife's name, so whenever the child support agency tried to assess him, he could plead poverty... So from that point of view, he would have a hard job bequeathing her anything, which is actually not in his name It'll be interesting to see what happens, that's for sure

No problem, bro, and no worries, the offer is gift enough Thanks for the good wishes

Thanks again for the offers, amigos Nikki6 has upped the ante even further, and incredibly generously donated the watch to me as a wedding present There's not much which can be said to that kind of generosity

Just one of the many challenges we're given to overcome It really does feel like a weight has been lifted from our shoulders. The atmosphere feels calmer, the air itself seems clearer. That can only be a good thing Indeed, the gift is much appreciated As for plenty of little TJ's, having spent just over a decade zapping my nuts by keeping a cell phone in my hip pocket, I think cloning is the only way we'll be having biological offspring

Never boring to me Having seen the gen 'in the flesh', I'd definitely say that that's the Rolex which lives up to it's brandname expectations

Well, there's going to be a lot of his stock to shift No offense taken, this is the kind of humor which has made the day pass smoothly As you say, time to move on and forget Thanks, bro, I had a feeling you'd see it that way too You're absolutely right there, Karma is a wonderful thing A massive heart attack prevents a deathbed repentence He's in the hot place, where he belongs, for the way he behaved towards Emily and her mum, he's had this coming for a long time. Justice is served As for the party... The wedding is the 3rd, the reception is the 8th. Sadly, it's a full house, or you know there'd be invites on their way

Thanks for the offer, it is very much appreciated Nikki6 has been kind enough to offer me the loan of a watch, which is near identical to what I had originally envisaged, so I have taken him up on his generous offer Thank you again though, it is very much appreciated

I'm still wearing the GMT Sub... I'm sure folks know what it looks like by now Have a great weekend, all

Awesome photos, brother Yappari aoi kuni da! - It is a green country! (Japanese)

Thanks for the kind words and the understanding, my friend, it is very much appreciated As you say, today is the first day of the rest of our lives together, and that can only be a good thing

Absolutely. I think the best thing we can now do, is move on and live our lives without the shadows his presence caused To be honest, even though he wasn't invited to the wedding, you can guarantee that he'd've made some kind of contact on the day itself to try and twist the knife, as he was just manipulative and spiteful like that. Even if he hadn't made contact, Emily would've been constantly worried that he would have, so this is no great loss to us. I feel sorry for his widow, and his mother, but not for him. To be honest, it's like a great weight has been lifted from our shoulders.

I voted without, as aesthetically, I prefer them without, however, whenever I wear a 'dateless' watch, that's when I find myself needing to check the date

Just to be clear, I'm not actually happy about this for myself, I'm just glad my wife won't ever have to deal with him or his emotional blackmail ever again

Thanks for the congratulations, it's much appreciated As for the moral question, well, he had done everything in his power (as acknowledged by the authorities) to avoid paying his child maintenance, and did not even have the common decency to offer to pay anything towards his daughter's wedding. Not even the offer of if there was anything we needed, not just financial... No, he knew what he was doing, but carried on regardless. He might've tried to convince himself he wasn't a bad guy, for, as you say, who wants to acknowledge that they're a bad person? But you only had to look at him to see his fear of being called out on his behaviour. I wouldn't've wished him dead, but I'm certainly not sad to see him out of my wife's life now. Don't feel guilty, you should've heard the gallows humor we were coming out with when we were actually identifying the body (that's something I'd never have wanted my wife to have to do, but she insisted on making the id herself) As above, he really was a manipulative piece of shit. He's being punished for his life, that's good enough for me

Thanks, bro, and PM received You might remember that we'd signed an online registry of marriage just over a year ago, and I've considered Emily to be my wife since that day. But that wasn't legally binding. However, the 3rd of february, that is going to be a legally binding ceremony I posted some pics of my completed wedding ring a while back in 'off topic' Thank you again for whatever you've got planned, I know it will mean a lot to Emily too, especially as she had a pretty severe shock this morning (we were the ones who had to formally identify her dad's body... I've seen death before, but this was her 'first corpse', and even though she had considered their relationship over because of his behaviour, something like this, well, it's always going to be a shock...) So thank you, this gesture will make her bad day a good one You truly are my brother The PM's sent, bro, thanks for stepping up to the plate It sure beats the

Remember how I've previously said what a piece of shit my wife's biological father was, and how he'd never paid his child support, and how we weren't inviting him to the wedding, and how he wouldn't come to he reception? Well, he keeled over by his watch stall this morning of a massive heart attack He doesn't have to worry about any more child support payments, the time has come him to answer to his Maker for his vile existence Please, no condolence messages, as he doesn't deserve it. Sympathy to his wife and mother, sure, but not him. I won't be a hypocrite and say how sorry I am, as the way he lived his life (overweight, too much rich food, the weight of his conscience etc) this wasn't exactly a surprise... What goes around, comes around, karma's a bitch, and all that, and right now, his eternal smiting has begun, and we can get on with the rest of our lives together without him

I was going to say I quite liked it

Thanks, amigo, it's much appreciated That would be one heck of a loaner The one thing I would have to say, is no gold, as I'm alergic. I know, it's supposed to be a hypo-alergenic metal, but any time I wear it, it brings me out in a rash... No other metal does it, not even cheap nickel-plated junk watches, but gold, happens every time I'll still be picking up the

More a respected long-time member patting the head of someone in a 'there there'/settle down kinda mood. I thought it was awesome when I saw it

I think it would come in handy http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/9724/goodboyhn3.gif

Awesome suggestion, sadly, I'm on a very restricted budget Oh well, the

Thanks It had always been the plan to have the engagement ring re-made as the wedding ring, it was only more recently that the idea to use Titanium instead of Platinum was considered, but, not only was it cheaper, but it was much lighter, so well worth it in the long run I think with something like this, it's worth doing it properly

I'm a bit confuzzled why folks would want to cram a Planet Ocean strap in to a SMP case, when the Seamaster strap fits perfectly Oh well, it still looks good
