CONGRADULATIONS RENE!!!
Posted by bman36 on Friday, September 8, 2006 1:35 PM

Hey Everyone,

I have not been able to be on the forum much lately, but today I bring some great news! Saturday, Sept. 9th. Rene will be getting married! Jim is her husband to be. I will let Rene fill you all in on the details. Unfortuneately I cannot attend the wedding in Waukesha. From Me, Naomi, David and Christen, we wish you and Jim all the best Rene! CONGRADULATIONS!!! How's that for the scoop of the week?! Rene told me she will have pics for us all next week. Later eh...Brian.

Hi all,

It's been a busy day here--tomorrow (the 9th) is the day. We are having a very small ceremony with immediate family and a few close friends, and a reception at the house afterward. Crossing my fingers that the weather will cooperate. . .Big Smile [:D]

 

Talk to you next week!

Congrats Rene and Jim, I'm very happy for you both.
This reminds me of my favorite song



Another one bits the dust,,da  da  da  da , Another one bits the dust,da d a d a  da da da.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

Congratulations, Rene; but have you mentioned to Jim that marriage is not just a word, it's a sentence?  Hope he likes railroads, too!

To quote my lovely wife " Love, Honour and -You Must Be Joking!!!"

Congratulations on your wedding. Hopefully your groom has not stumbled on the lines of poetry that he memorised...

You look absolutely wonderful in the photos Rene and Jim doesn't look half bad either Yeah!! [yeah]

Hope you had a lovely day, it certainly looked liked it. Whilst you were getting spliced my daughter was giving birth exactly 9 months to the day since she got married Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg] Here is a photo of our lovely grand-daughter (Keira Louise) who was 6lb 8oz.

She will be getting her first train for Christmas (I kid you not him indoors has one in mind already). Her mum and dad were talking of bringing her over to the garden railroad later this week to have a ride on the train, bearing in mind we have had problems with our tunnel recently.............................................
