Ryzz is now engaged

[Ryzz]

Well I did it, i managed to ask my gorgeous girlfriend to marry me whilst driving the great ocean road on Saturday. Its still has not sunk in completely to either or us but we are both extremely excited!!!

[MrKeen]

Well done mate,big congrats.For those that havent ever done it...man it's tough!!!!So where did it all go down?

[oztrack]

Congratulations Ryzz. Its a great stage of your life.

[NickS]

Congrats mate ... it's been a long time coming !!!

Now the fun part ... planning the wedding ... :cry: . It should also be mentioned that Ryzz was a true gentleman and asked his future father in law first.

All the best to both of you mate, well done.

:cheers:

[nirvana]

congratulations mate, i wish you and your beautiful girlfriend all the best.
and your a braver man than me :lol:

[Scotty]

Congrats Ryzz!!

Just a tip for you to take or leave....

With the wedding preps, don't get to worked up over things, let them (Missus, MIL, M) do what they like, as the day goes soo quickly that afterwards you will wonder what all the fuss was about...
That being said, make sure you get to choose the cars...
that was my only criteria.

That being said i think our mums have already planned half the wedding for us anyway, they are more excited than we are :lmao:

Dont worry about that one mate, the law has been laid down on that one from a looong time back :lol:

[Ryzz]

It should also be mentioned that Ryzz was a true gentleman and asked his future father in law first.Tell you what, i can sit back and laugh about this now, but i was shitting myself when i went to ask him!!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[Ryzz]

Well done mate,big congrats.For those that havent ever done it...man it's tough!!!!So where did it all go down?

Was originally going to be the 12 (sorry 11) Apostles on the Great Ocean Rd, however due to fact it was pissing down with rain and i couldnt get rid of the girl long enough to did the ring out of my bag (which my old man snuck into my bag on the way to the Airport). So it ended up all going down at Locharte Gorge (10 min drive south from the Apostles). What made it even nicer is she had no idea it was going to happen and took her completely by surprise, including the poor couple that walked in on us right in the middle of it all :lmao: :lmao:

[MID02K]

Good on ya mate... glad to see ur testicles finally dropped and ur becoming a man... All we have to do now is work on the mousey voice:p

But all crap aside im proud of ya mate... Marriage is an awesome institution, just make sure u give it the respect it deserves...

P.S. Good on ya for asking her old man first too!!!!

[Scotty]

Tell you what, i can sit back and laugh about this now, but i was shitting myself when i went to ask him!!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Good on you for asking him. Makes them feel chuffed.

I asked nicole's dad while he was outside BBQing. I ducked outside to 'help' and asked. He was taking the stuff off the bbq and dropped a steak when I asked.

[DaveHAT]

Congratulations Ryan ... that's the easy bit over and done with. Now for the "fun" " part ... :waving:

I like the strategy used too, take the GF to the coldest state in Aus (mainland :D) and get her out of the car into the freezing cold ... ask her to marry you ... say "no pressure, BUT ... you can't get back in the car until you agree" :lol:


A thinking mans proposal .... I like it :bravo:

[Chowny]

Congratulations Ryan, all the best champ.

[Buffy]

Congratulations Ryan! :woot:

I remember Nick telling me that asking my father was the hardest part!
Don't sweat the small stuff, the wedding day goes soooo fast. Have you set a date?

[Kyle]

Congrats Ryan!!! :D

I'll join you in about.....2 weeks :D

[MID02K]

Im gonna get in early and say..
1. Where is the invite to the celebrations
2. Name your first 3 kids after me :)


Hehehehe

As Buffy said dont sweat it mate... its an awesome thing...
We just need to change the pitch control on ur voice so u can at least pretend to wear the pants ;)

[firebug]

Well done Ryan. Good job... :bravo:

I took me a year to build the courage to ask my fianc?, and I managed to leave the ring at home too... :doh:

About 12 weeks till I get hitched, :yike: the time flies by in the planning stages... I'll be on you before you know it...

[Hethro87]

[hsvredsled]

Congrats Ryzz...

Nice location...I guess if she said 'no' you could have jumped in the gorge.

In relation to wedding preperations..."Yes dear" is the best answer to everything unless it involves

1. Cars
2. Groomsmen.
3. Grog

or the honeymoon. everything else..."Yes Dear."

Good Luck!!!

Well next easter will be 10yrs and katie asked me actually about a year after we got together. My son wyatt will be 5 befor christmas and my daughter turned one a month ago.
We now have our own home 2 kids, 2 cars, 1 bike, 2 other cars, 2 cats, 1 mouse.
Sounds like alot, which it is and it cost alot but thats why i work my arse off to provide the best possible life i can for my family. Getting married was something we allways planned on doing , we just saw it better for us to get setup proprely first.

ps i dont mind keeping things for awhile so i probably wont trade this one in:) .

I hear where ur coming from.. Everyone goes on about expensive weddings which is why, when i got married i went to the registry with
1. Wife
2. Her Parents
3. My Parents

Thats it
Didnt tell anyone we was getting married either until a month after we sent out invites to our wedding party ;)

Day of wedding including accom for the night, marriage itself and a nice dinner for 6 total $900 inc cabs home from city to manly and city to st george area...

Wedding party cost us about $600 for 30 people with beer and food...

[DaveHAT]

OMG :shock: someone get me a cuetip ... :lol:

[aussie372]

Congrats Ryan , Well done in asking her father first . I also went this way and his exact words were take her PLEASE , after living together for 6yrs and having a 4yr old we tied the knot 10 days ago . As has already been said just go with the flow and enjoy the day . The day comes and goes so quick you wont believe how quick .. I can recommend a great photographer :idea: Kyle.
He did our wedding and i have never seen someone take so many pictures , we had to tell him to stop and sit down and have a meal :doh: He had some awsome ideas as to the pics he took .
a+++ effort
Shameless plug

Fair enough Tim, I wasn't having a go at you BTW ... hope it didn't seem like I was.

Marriage isn't so important, it's everything else that matters, sounds like you have all that figured out !!!

:cheers:

[fatas]

big con grats welcome to the world of the wife you are about to find out way more than you thought you would most of it will be good some of it will just dumb found you to the point of exhaustion :headbang:
1 quick tip. your weding day will fly by slow it down take your time and remember to just do it your way :yep: :)

[FatBoy]

Congrats mate...

For some weird reason i have this mental image of her asking what to do on the wedding night and Ryzz replying - "Use the search button..." :lmao:

:cheers:

Nick no harm taken i figured you werent having a go and i didnt take it that way and im sorry if i came across a bit defensive. We had planned to do it years ago but for one reason or another it never happened and now that we have life seemingly organized we are thankfull to finally tie the knot.
Having 2 seperate last names makes it a pain in the bum when dealing with all the paper work that in life you have to do now, cant wait just to have the one surname for the family.

I have an aunty and uncle that have been together for 17years and still aint married and i dont think they ever will:yep: .

Sorry to steal your thread Ryzz, congrats again and all the best to your wife to be and i hope your future brings the pair of you all the happyness you both deserve:yep: .
Yours sincerly Tim an the rest of the family.

Congrats mate...

:lmao:

Right after he pulls out his list of pre-answered FAQs ... :lmao:

I can't wait to see what happens when Ryzz tries to end an arguement on his terms by holding up a big padlock and refusing to listen to any more comments ... :hmmm: ... nice knowing ya mate.

:D

Only thing to remember is ... that it's bad luck to see the bride every day after the weeding (the process of weeding ones garden) :yep: :teach:

Or is that see the bride before the weeding? :confused:

I can never remember exectly how that goes.

Anyway ... :woohoo: :gotpicz:

Couldn't have asked for a better day, I had an enjoyable afternoon driving from place to place and enjoying a cold beer or two with Josh + Shivan (the other drivers) ... the cars looked sensational.

Here's one pic Ryan emailed me, the GTS bonnet at the church (see Dan ... I've been looking after it).

Congratulations Ryan.

I actually saw the convoy driving up Powderworks road. The cars looked great.

[MrKeen]

Yep big congrats to you and the loverly wife Ryan. Couldnt have asked for a better day. I had a really good afternoon, few beers,talking shit and ended up with a boot full of beer when I got home.

[Ryzz]

Hey Guys, just back from the honeymoon. Massive thanks to the 3 guys for coming along and driving us around for the day. Could not have asked for a better day.

Got lots of stories to tell (especially after driving 4000KM on the wrong side of the road in a 1.3L Oil Burner. The lap around the Nurburgring with none other than Sabine Schmit piloting the M5 was an experience i shall not forget!!!

Hopefully ill have some more pictures of the day and the cars soon. Anyone that knows how to DivX encode a 1GB Video file of the Ring Taxi lap let me know so i can post that up too.
