Despite what our Facebook statii say, Jen and I are not married.
Yes, she wears a diamond band on her left hand, and I a gold on mine - but those are just personal commitments we’ve made to each other. Nothing formal. Truth is, I bought Jen her original diamond band with the thought of using it for a wedding band, one day. In the meantime, it was something for her to wear on her left hand and feel comfortable being pregnant with people immediately staring down at the left finger. You dont think it happens, but it does.
Jen and I joke that ours is an arranged marriage. We got pregnant soon after meeting, and even though there has never been a doubt about our commitment or relationship, it was always something that seemed chosen for us, instead of chosen by us.
I had so many things I want to say to Jen when I proposed. None of them came out but, “Do you choo choo choose me?”
It’s a joke between us, Jen loves the Ralph Wiggum clip, and it sums up what this decision is for us. It’s our choice to be together.
There is no wedding date set, although wouldnt a Hawaiian wedding and Tahitian honeymoon wrap nicely around the Team Diabetes Easter Island marathon in June 09?
We’ll see. The important thing is we choo choo choose each other.

Wow Buzz!
You are so romantic. Jen is a very lucky girl to have you and you are even luckier to have her. What a sweet clip. Thank you so much for sharing.
I know exactly what you mean when you mentioned the baby bump and ring combo. I found myself in the same situation. I ended up using my promise ring with the baby bump. But um yeah…….its amazing how many people you can catch loooking for a ring after they see a baby bump.
Good luck to you and yoru beautiful family.

Hey Buzz… I think it’s awesome the way you guys are doing it, because it’ll be perfect and right when the timing works for you both. Ultimately, it’s just a pc. of paper — You guys have already committed. I think that’s really cool.
