I am happy to say that I married my soul mate this past weekend.

I knew she was "the one" on our first date. I called and asked her if she would go out
with me for valentines day, about four years ago. Her answer....
" why don't we get some chicken wings and beer and play ping pong at your place?".
I knew it was meant to be........

So here we are Derek and Melissa Barry!

Congradulations to the both of you. Hope to meet both of you in the future. She is a looker in my book.
Now go electric and she won't have to worry about the oil and noise.

By the way did I say she is gorgeous.

I have had mine for almost 43 years and she used to hold my planes for launch. jeh

Here is the cake in question.

I spent 9 hours the day before the wedding on this cake. No airbrush work this time, but if I ever do another.................

Cheers!

By her a pink C/L handle and matching airplane, Remember Castor oil is good for the skin!

After 30 or so years I know a good choice was made by me.

If ever it happens again will insert 'possibly' in place of I do.( experience.)

Derek,

Congratulations, there is nothing better. Were coming up on 19 years this summer and it's like it started just yesterday (and I still get questions how I managed to get her to say yes). Hope you and your bride have many years together.

Derek,
Number 47 coming up here in three weeks and there ain't nuthin' like it! Even stunt takes a back seat to a great marriage! So congrats to you and Melissa, and if she's as sweet as she is cute, you're a truly blessed man! (And I'll bet she is.)
Many blessed years to you,
Will

Hey Derek & Melissa;

While I can't claim "friendship" directly with you, as a fellow C/L flyer, and human being, I wish you the absolute best as a wonderful couple! God bless you and your future young'ins.

Derek Barry · « **Reply #42 on:** April 21, 2011, 04:23:20 AM »

Just want to say Thank you again to everyone who has posted their blessings.

And for those who have asked, she is very aware of the airplane addiction and we are currently seeking help....

She is and has always been very supportive of my interest in model airplanes.

Thanks again!

Derek and Melissa Barry

PJ Rowland · « **Reply #43 on:** April 21, 2011, 05:55:47 AM »

ngratulations Derek - Wish you and Melissa the Best of Everything.

The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident. ~

Nothing is better than a BOM legal cake.
