WOOO HOOO! Congratulations, Derek and Allison! I can't wait to hear all of the details of the wedding!
(Jane and Bill, too!) I think it is sooo special that he called and asked for your consent....so sweet and traditional. I guess he knows you well after four years. I love the part about asking him if he liked her.

Oh that is just FANTASTIC news!!!
And he spells his name the same as my Derek, so now I know he's got class.
Any dates planned yet? Oh I can just see the dinner parties now.
Allison - Congratulations to you and to Derek. Here I am celebrating my 25th anniversary and you are beginning your wonderful life together. May you laugh every day you are together!! It is the secret of a great marriage.

Thanks, all!!! We are just blissful. Denise, I kept referring to my guy as D so that people wouldn't be confused by both of us talking about our Dereks haha. This *just* happened (though he has apparently been planning for a while) so no dates set yet.
I told Mom (Jane), "I'm going to need your help with this!" How lucky am I to have a mother who is my friend and the perfect planner for any event?! I think we are going to have a lot of fun.
And regarding "liking." Derek tells me on a regular basis he loves me. But almost *just* as often he tells me he likes me. And I like him
I think we're gonna be just fine
If we're are half as happy as my parents, we're set.

Fantastic!!! Congratulations!
Steve and I were just talking about something similar yeasterday. He said something and I thought he said "I like you" (He said "I love you"). I said "I like you too". He was a little put off - he said but "I said I love you and I said I Like You." I said it is something more to say "I like you"!
Sorry so convoluted. But it really made sence at the time. Liking someone on top of loving them is a bonus.
You two will go far! Congratulations again!
