For a city that I understand is quite conservative, isn't it ironic that it sounds like SinSinNaughty? :~) <BR><BR>I think the only question I'd pop there would be: which is the best place for chili?

Capo, I suppose Skyline but I can take it or leave it. It's nothing like the stuff I make back home.

Inquiring minds want to know: any news that you want to announce, Tony & Emily?

Yes actually I do. I bought a great pair of jeans from Dillards today, reduced to $26. Then I went for a SUBWAY (TM) Melt (TM) and came home to watch Rush Hour on video.

Well that's official, Emily and I are engaged. Wedding in spring 2003.

The wedding will be in Cincinnati but no idea where yet... <BR>I'd love to hear from anyone who has been through all the INS stuff--finace visa, marriage visa etc. I have all the applications and how-to directions but any advice about dealing with the INS would be greatly appreciated!<BR>

<BR>Tony and Emily, <BR>Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. Also, it was a pleasure to meet both of you at the Cincinnati GTG in February. <BR>Tammy

Dear Tony & Emily!<BR><BR>Congratulations!! Happy Wedding!!!<BR><BR>It was so wonderfully nice to have met you both as well as Tammy Smith at our little Cincy GTG.<BR><BR>I look forward to seeing you two get married!!!<BR><BR>Yay! Hurrah! : )

We loved meeting you 2, Tammy and Mary, and hope you both keep your diaries free for late April, 2003.<BR><BR>Looking forward to a Southern Ohio summer.<BR><BR>T.

So Hawaii and Alaska for the honeymoon?<BR><BR>Congratulations!

haha...probably not, martha, although I must commend you on your knowledge of where I have been.<BR><BR>Alaska can get lost as far as honeymoon is concerned. Hawaii is an option and we're also looking at the southern pacific, too.

ttt<BR><BR>Ahh, the good old forum

Tony, that's great! I've been around long enough to remember the start of this thread over ten years ago. So nice to have a happy ending!

Awesome tony--thanks for sharing your story.
