I say official because we've known for a long time that we're going to marry. I just needed to abide by proper protocol and buy a diamond.

I'm so romantic, I know.

Lindsey and I are simple people. By that, I mean we're down-to-earth and desperately unadorned. We get our kicks by walking in the woods, waiting for falling stars, and rolling pennies when the pickle jar fills.

No, really.

Anyway, Dan Daniel park in Virginia is a place at which we've stopped several times during our travels. It's very quaint, and quite unpopulated just after sunup. I decided to ask her to marry me in a little spot beside the river where we once had a mini-picnic.

We left very early this morning just so we could be in the park when it opened. After walking around for a while, talking and remembering, we made it to our little spot. After some lovey-dovey talk I bent down and asked, after which she went nuts and said some things in a foreign language, which she later told me was freaked-out girl talk for "OHMYGOSHOFCOURSEYESILOVEYOU."

We will be married in Virginia on May 20, 2006. You can come as long as you bring an expensive gift or, preferably, cash.

Guess I wasn't technical enough. Or prompt.

Or grammatically correct. But when am I, anyway?

Brian, my name is Kris Haithcock and I am from Gastonia NC. I was recently browsing sites when I came across yours. I am a 22yr old male, graduated in '02, and I know that my grandfathers name was Ray Thomas Haithcock who married Betty Irene Archer Haithcock. My Grandfathers last name was changed to H-A-I-T..... from H-A-T-H, why I'm not sure. Could you help me figure out if we might be distant cousins. If it helps I can email more names from my family so you can compare them with what you know. Thank you for your time and hopeful response. -Kris
