Pyro Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 In just under 24 hours from now I will be heading out to Chicago to pick up my bride to be as this will mark the end of our long distance relationship. What started out as what I thought was going to be nothing more than some innocent flirting grew and developed into something much more that neither of us anticipated due to the distance between us. From the beginning things have been so perfect between us. We always made plenty of time for each other to talk, we have been open with each other, and we have trusted each other to the fullest extent possible. Being in a LDR taught me a lot and showed me that it is possible to be in one. All you need is some patience, trust, and the will to make it work. I wish all you involved in a LDR the best of luck and may you all be united with your SOs sooner than later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

On a side note, if CE is flying QF107, I'm envious, not having flown the new A380 yet. Fun. Qantas is at least 1k more expensive than every other airline going that way. Hell no. Check in and security were a piece of cake. This airport has become my home almost. Link to post Share on other sites

carhill Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Ah, understand, if I'm correct, UA870 is running on time so far and it's supposed to be raining tomorrow in SFO, so you might have some great views coming in, depending on wind and the thunderstorms. We're having rare and strange summer rainy weather here right now. As I like to say, one sleep and you're home to fiance. Exciting times. Link to post Share on other sites

carhill Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 UA870 went wheels up at 2:58pm EST (Australia). When those old war wagons get out on time, everything else is good. Based on timings/routings, I assume CE is on that flight. No stalker here. Aircraft tracker? Sure Link to post Share on other sites

Author Pyro Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 How long have you been together? we started getting close in October of 09 and became official in March of last year. We have been good friends on here though since early 2006. At the wedding, will I sit on the Groom's side, or the Bride's? I've bought the hat.... The brides side definitely since she will only have four family members here for the wedding. I was thinking more akubra style to make her feel at home. Link to post Share on other sites
TaraMaiden Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Darn it. And that hat is soooo 'me'....! Guess I'll have to ask for an £81,000 refund off e-bay.....! only 4 relatives!? oh bless! Count me in, I'll make enough noise for 40! Link to post Share on other sites

Count me in, I'll make enough noise for 40! not sure what that is in American dollars but I bet it is a ton. It is a 2,000 dollar plane ticket so I am honored that they are making the trip. She has met most of the people who will be in attendance so its not like its all me. Link to post Share on other sites
