ok.. I couldn't resist...

[Bob Perkins]

Hi All,

Tomorrow is my wedding day and my sweetie had an idea to make a little boat shaped ring holder for the ceremony. Our wedding has a distinctly nautical theme smile.gif

At first I though it was a little silly.. But she wanted it so.....

Specs: It's lapstrake with a little rocker and a raked transom. Contructed with 100% mahogany and gold fittings.

Now that is done, I kinda like it. The things we do...

Take Care,
Bob

Congratulations and Best Wishes!!

:D Congratulations! (I want to see a picture of the bride in the boat before I kiss her though!)

[Bob Perkins]

Thanks everyone!

I'm pretty lucky - she encourages boat building and tool purchasing smile.gif

Of course - now and then I have to build something non-boat related. But it is a fair trade.

It's Sat am now.
Nerves haven't set in yet - probably on the ride up though smile.gif

Take Care,
Bob

[Hans Lassen]

Fair winds on that voyage, Bob & bride, and everlasting bolts and ringnails to hold that ship together ;) ! Congratulations, and a kiss for the lady!

Congrats! An auspicious day to make the announcement. SWMTMH and I were married on 26 Sept. It hasn't been all fair winds and following seas (thank god), but it has been ahh, um, 22 years. As someone here, or elsewhere said in a toast, "I wish you enough." Ed

[Bob Perkins]

Everyone,

Thank You for your kind words. We had a great day.

A couple of Pics:

From the big day.

Our honeymoon included Bar Harbor Maine and other stopping points. There is a great little town far away from everything called Stonington. This place is like visiting a post card.

The pics don't do it justice..

Thanks again all,
Bob

Hey Bob,

Thanks for the pics. Glad you guys had a great honeymoon. Bar Harbor must have been beautiful this time of year.

[Concordia..41]

Bob - Congratulations to you and your beautiful bride! May you enjoy all that your future holds.

Dave & Margo

P.S. Did you make the flower box too????? :eek:

[Jack Heinlen]

Blessings on your union, it's a special time. May the wonder and beauty of your wedding stay fresh all your lives.

Captain Jon and I tied the KNOT 36 years ago and have some smooth sailing and some rough seas also, but without the storms, how can you really appreciate the calm anchorage at sunset?

We plan to renew our vows just before we move aboard so that we can become newlyweds!

A Toast to You and your Bride!

Enjoy the voyage!

Fair Winds, Following Seas and Quiet Anchorages!

Thanks Everyone smile.gif

This type of thread is what the forum is really about when we're not speaking 100% about boats.

You're a great bunch.

[Nora Lee]

If she appreciates wooden boats she is a keeper!

Our last daughter in law was not!

Regards,

Nora
