Personal Announcement

I am proud to announce that over the weekend I became engaged to my longtime girlfriend, Stephanie McNally. We have set our wedding date for 10/10/2010. This year had proven to be interesting to say the least. Moving to a new city, leaving family and friends behind, the death of my grandfather and now I am getting married! It has been a whirlwind of events and emotions, and ultimately it has all been bittersweet. Life is beautiful chaos...

Congrats! Getting married was the best decision I ever made. Marriage can be tough if you don't both learn to compromise from the start. Good luck to you!

Well, I guess I should ask.

I called you Mangus, but will you still be a Mangus? Or will you be morphing into a McNally?

Feeling Progressive?

Congratulations ! Seriously, your next step is to Elope. consider getting married in vegas by elvis. You get just as married, makes a great story, AND you don't have to plan a wedding.

@All - thanks everyone for the positive words of ecouragement!

@Alexy - stronger is always good, so that is a plus!

@Matt - thanks for the sound advice.

@jgbrowning - congrats right back at ya!

@Greg - once a Mangus always a Mangus, I say! I am not sure what Steph will decide, but I have a feeling she will want to hyphenate her last name.

@Pao - Huzzah indeed!

@Doc Grognard - I wish I could follow the doctor's orders on this one! I dread the whole "wedding" process!

My wife and I just kept our names. My children have my wife's name.

I don't particularly like my last name, or understand why one should be that obsessed about it really, but people can get really emotional about it for some reason.
