Woooohoooooo Ladies. Look what I have ...

Absolutely lovely! I've always loved the more simple rings.

You and your husband will have to come visit Freehold. We'll have a belated wedding party for you

Re: I accepted Mr Luke's marriage proposal

I am so excited to be your bridesmaid. I have been imaging what dresses you have planned.

37 days seems so far away but will come quickly.

indeed it will. I have not thought of colours for attendants yet.
I hope that Mrs Phebe will be a matron of honour.

Re: I accepted Mr Luke's marriage proposal

Hehehe I need to stop reading these threads when daddy is trying to read the paper, he says my girlish squealing is annoying.

What a pretty ring, you're so blessed Sister Charli

You reckon YOU squealed when you saw it. You should have seen my reaction. I have never worn a ring before and being in my late 40s I have never ever in my life had a piece of jewellery like this.

I wear a very simple plain cross on a neck chain. I don't even have my ears pierced. Mr Luke kept apologising when he gave me this ring saying that he has some kind of deal with Brother James Dewitt that I get the best pink diamond mined in the next 6 months. But I don't need that. This is the most beautiful gift I have ever received in my life.

I thank God for bringing Mr Luke in to my life. Jesus sure is looking after me.

Re: I accepted Mr Luke's marriage proposal

It is not about point scoring Jo Freddie.

I have no interest in "scoring points" I am just expressing my concern for you as I have done in the past.

Re: I accepted Mr Luke's marriage proposal

Show me where I have ever uttered a bad word towards Miss Charli. Nor have I or ever will I utter a bad word towards my first wife Sarah who died in childbirth.

I have no such examples I was just wanted to be assured that she would be safe.

I think you will find I flew to Perth only a few days after Miss Charli's father's funeral. Having not met her before it would have been totally inappropriate of me to have gone any sooner. She had the comfort from very dear friends of mine - Pastor John and Mrs Rebekkah. As a bloke I had absolutely no intention of crowding her during her time of grief.

I am glad you could give her such support once you knew you had mutual friends, and as I said you were new here at the time and your actions were understandable, it was those of others who just came out with platitudes but no offer of help, who claimed to be her friends that I have issue with.

[Sister Charli]

Re: I accepted Mr Luke's marriage proposal

as we saw in her time of need when her beloved Daddy passed away the folk here where very slow in stepping up to the plate. I am just thankful that eventually Jimmy was a gentleman and made her an offer of help where she felt unable to accept mine.

Oh pullleeaase.

It is not about point scoring Jo Freddie.

A number of the Ladies of Landover sent me beautiful condolence cards and I had phone calls from Mrs Phebe and Lisa and numerous others.

I do feel supported by the Landover True Christians™ and am grateful of the offers of help during my time of need. But it was important for me to stay in Perth as there are still a few legal matters not yet finalised.

I will forever feel indebted towards Pastor John and his lovely wife Rebekkah and pray that one day I will be there to return the generosity and hospitality they have given me.

Daddy would not want me to wallow in self pity. As God's word tells us, we should only grieve for one day.

5 weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

When I speak of an anger management issue I am of course referring to you behaviour towards towards your future wife, and not in her defence.

Show me where I have ever uttered a bad word towards Miss Charli. Nor have I or ever will I utter a bad word towards my first wife Sarah who died in childbirth.

As for my previous comment about you not being about at the time I see that I was wrong about that and put the lack of stepping up to the plate down to you being new here then, and did not knows her as well as the others here who should have been much more helpful.

Now Jo, you know that is not true. I had sent many a PM to Sister Charli after her Daddy passed away.

Re: I accepted Mr Luke's marriage proposal

Jo why are you now spoiling Charli's happy news. There seems to be no end to your trouble making. Now wish the happy couple well.

No I can not. I will do what ever I have to to protect Miss Charli. If that means I have to be verbally (or even physically) aggressive towards males who treat her inappropriately then so be it. She is going to be my wife. She is my princess. And I will do what I have to to ensure that no one upsets her. That includes pasta eating pirates.
