      Speaking of rides... Boy and Girl take BRT together.

      Note to Cawhite, I think we have the moment of BRT10.

      First time boy and girl met - an FT Do. Some of us bore witness to the beginning - and saw the memorable onion ring. As I like to say,

      "From an onion ring to a diamond ring."

      Congratulations!

      With the bazillion airline miles both of you have, I'm sure your honeymoon destination(s) are going to be amazing.

      Congratulations to you both. A great story.

      I met Calcifer on OS trip to Paris in 2008 but have yet have the pleasure of meeting FlyinHawaiian.
