So, I took the big Leap over the weekend and asked my Beautiful, Loving, and Supporting girlfriend to take the next step with me.
The good news is that she said yes!
A few months ago we were at the range and she picks up my Beretta 92 INOX and proceeds to make mince meat out of the bull's eye. Mind you, this was her first time with that gun, however I must tell you that she is a proficient enough shooter to begin with. She turns to me and says "I like this one, can I have one in pink?" She was joking of course, but I don't joke when it comes to firearm collecting.
So this happened...
To my surprise, she loved it.

4Ok ladies, when a guy responds to your gun-related whims this way, he’s a keeper.

5Congratulations ! She liked it and that's all that counts. It's great you both share an interest in shooting.

7Ya know, I am one of those anti-pink types, but this does look really nice. Maybe we could call it light rose, instead of pink.
Congrats on your engagement.

9Thank you everyone!
I find it interesting myself that she likes pink so much. She is a 6' Red Head that keeps me inline. I like to get her what she wants.

10Congratulations! Hope you have a long and happy life together!
It's not the height that keeps you in line--my wife is a 5'1" redhead and has "kept me in line" for over 30 years. It's not just love, it's also respect. Plus, we just LIKE each other.

18I just want to say this:
Awwwwwww! cute!
As much as I don't like bright colors on firearms, sometimes you just want your stuff to have personality you know? (one of these days I'm going to get a firestorm or orange digital pattern on something).
I've personally been having a rough spot so I'm glad to have read this and glad you've found someone special.
Yes I know, I'm a hopeless romantic

Knowing people who have gotten married more often, it's overrated and more costly than a firearms hobby once it starts becoming a recurring theme. Not to say people shouldn't get married, but you really need to be ready to actually commit and know everything about each other and love each other in spite of that.
