I think you deserve the props for not only putting yourself out there, but for taking others advice. Congrats to you sir.
In that thread, I told you to man up and propose if you thought she was the one. I'm glad you followed my advice. From the picture, you definitely married up. Major Congrats.
Dude your wife is way too hot for you. She settled too early. Shes at worst a strong 8 and you're like, a low 6. And you needed convincing? Pfft.
Congrats dude. The path a couple travels is rarely a straight line. Keep the lessons you learned from that experience in your back pocket. You're going to need them again at some point. Marriage is cool. Kids are where things get nuts. Live it up before they come a'knockin.
