Dragon Boat West

 Thats right ....the day after the big San Fran win ......paddler & DBW forum user " Special K " also known as Kelli (who stroked on DWW 1 and is a paddler w/ Pac Reach ) was asked for her hand in marriage by paddler/boyfriend George ( capt. of Pac Reach ) who also was also a team paddler on DWW 1 in San Fran .

 Lets here it for the 2 ...Big Congrats !! ......its about time !! :woot:


 Guess those really were lucky loonies

 

 

That is so awesome.  Give K a big hug from  Sharon and I will ya ( George too)

So would this have happened if DWW didn't win?   :D

Or does the win just make it sweeter?

you'll have to do it yourself...only you can squish the crap out of a person like you do  :shock:


and mike it would be the latter of the 2

Congratulations........to the two of you.....thanks for not revealing this at dinner or we would have gotten you two a cake.....

That's awesome! Congrats you two!

 Just to let you all know they are still down in Cali doing a bike tour of the Napa Valley and her biggest fan and supporter ( her MoM) wanted me to put this up as she's very very proud that the 2 of them finally did this

  You see .....Over the last few yrs they have been together Special K always thought inside " I wish he would buy me a ring ....maybe this will be the year"  but in typical male paddler mentality boyfriend/paddler/teammate George thought to himself ...." Hey, you know ...I really like those oc1's !! " and there went poor Special K hopes for another year .Skip ahead a yr and Special K is thinking "Ok,we got a OC1 maybe this year I'll get the bling" ......Yes she did ...a new Huki OC2 ...........Smilin George thinking this should make her happy now we can paddle together and poor Special K puts away the hope for another year as the budget was blown and the only thing she got out of that was wet as they Huli'd numerous times ,lol .

 Ok onto this yr ....Special K is thinkin maybe this is the yr and G is thinkin ..."you know I think we should sell the oc1 and get 2 new oc1's , 1 for each of us" ............ Hey its what most of us guys would be thinkin  :wink: and 2 new custom painted Huki oc'1's arrive ....Special K gets the more blingy of the 2 ( you can't miss her on it ) but still deep down inside poor Special K is thinking "What the hell are we doing with a fleet of oc's ?" :shock: lol ...we could start our own paddling club....G ? ...spin ahead to to San Fran and thats where we are now .

 Moral of the story ... Never expect a male competitive paddler to commit to anything outside of paddling in a hurry.... you ladies should know this by now ...geez ! Hmmm...come to think of it when Special K said she was going to San Fran to bring back" hardware" I think she mean't something else .... :shock:

oh wow,

Congrats, :)

All I gotta say is "it's about time!". Geez I have known G for 5 years now and K for 4 as she joined us after year 1 when I was a member of PR. Then I marry my wife who was also a member of PR in my 3rd year with PR. My wife joined PR in its 2nd year. G & K and the whole PR gang was at the wedding to witness the event. And it was nice to see them of course as they ended up being a part of "our" family so to speak. Or were we a part of the PR Cult??? Anyway CONGRATS to both G & K on a great season only to have it finished off with a fantastic engagement. When's the date? Where are you 2 registered so I can buy your wedding gift? How long will the engagement last? Months? Years? Weeks maybe? No rush is there? Not like we did! LOL

All I can say is "GEOORRRRGE!"
Congrats you two! Finally ...I've been waiting to hear that news for a loooooong time!!
All the best
Shan

wow-I thought that was pretty "PG 13" as there was absolutely no nudity in that post, and it was a pic form the women's regatta-we were dressed like that in public.  If you were offended by that I apologize.

Awww shucks Paddleboy that's the nicest thing I've seen you say on here  :wink: and thank you all for your warm wishes!  It was a very 'bling' filled vacation!  I didn't know at the dinner on Sunday night so no worries about a cake Puppy.  No date yet but perhaps we could do it on our OC1's! 

Cheers!!!!! 

~@ngel~ , Photobucket is notoriously bad for doing that.  Try ImageShack.

 Hey ...if I had known I could have helped both of you eat cake too ..lol . I'm sure Brad would have whipped up a little something special too like he did for Guido ..... :lol:

 :D  congrats!!!!!!!  I remember the days when Special K would watch G from a distance and see her smile happliy whenever he was nearby. I'm very happy for the both of u and best wishes for the future!!!

cheers :woot:
