    Default A Special Announcement

    May 3 will mark 11 years to the day that Linda and I first met.

    She moved to AR with me from AK in May of 2019.

    After 10 plus years of being together, we have both decided to "officially" tie the knot.

    Saturday, April 30, will be THE DAY.

    We are going to have a small church wedding and share the day with our new AR friends.

    She has been a wonderful companion the whole time we have been together. We have only had two or three disagreements over that whole time. They were solved within 24 hours. We have never said harsh words to each other during that time. IMO, she is a keeper.

    We both wanted to share our GOOD NEWS with all our SpyderLover friends. She does not post much, but is "akspyderlady" on the site.

    Dwayne and Linda Lee

    You took the time to make certain it will work. That worked for us too. Have a long and happy honeymoon - may it las for many decades.
    BTW; There are two ways to handle a disagreement with a woman. Neither works.

    I disagree with Ricz, there are three ways to deal with a disagreement with a woman and only one of them work, concede early and often. That may not bring an end to the argument but will speed you toward resolution. Anyway, congratulations to ARtraveler. I am blessed by being married to a wonderful woman, 30 years my junior but she is the greatest. Hope your relationship is that good also. Congratulations.

    Congratulations! But anytime I hear someone announcing that they are getting married, I have to impart my Dad's words of wisdom: "Son, there are two kinds of men in this world. Smart Men --- and Married Men!"

    Mom and Dad are in their 90's and have been married for 74 years I think. I'm approaching 30 yrs. Good Luck!

    Congratulations to you both. It was nice to meet and talk to you and Linda at the Hot Springs Rally in 2021. Hope to see you again on the road.
    My wife and I meet in April of 84 and married in August of 84. We will celebrate 38 years of marriage in August of this year. Sometime you just know
    when she is the right one.
    Wishing you and Linda many years of happiness to come.

    Common interests are great. But a little alone time makes those together times a little more special.
    Congrats!

    My wife and I are approaching 40 years, this fall.
    I may be dreaming. But, I hope to get a Spyder or Ryker, soon.

    Just read through "Do-s-and-Do-Nots-for-new-Spyder-owners" and the following posts. Lots of good/helpful info.
    Lots of other forums could go to school on this.

    I deleted five off topic posts, including one of mine. There are no infractions, or anything like that. Consider it a free pass from the Moderators.

    My intent was to announce the event to my friends on Spyderlovers. I still consider all of the above my friends.
