I flew to Ireland with my girlfriend and proposed. She said yes!

Not exactly car related but I thought I would let you know. I’m rather excited about it.

Congrats! “May the road rise up to meet you...”

TIL: It’s a result of a gross mistranslation of the Irish expression “Go n- éirí an bóthar leat ”. The bolded words literally mean “rise” and “with you” but in fact they mean “succeed”. This is the same kind of mistake that would happen if you read “I cannot put up with him”, meaning “I cannot endure him”, and interpreted it as “I cannot put ( a bag) up ( in the overhead bin on an airplane) with him.” But that is not a possible meaning of the English sentence at all.

So the Irish expression actually means “May your journey succeed”, or “May you succeed [in the journey of life]” or even simply “Good luck!” Unfortunately, anglophones have been trying to make sense of the mistranslation for a long time now.

Just remember that the hardest part was finding her, even through the wedding planning (which is a lot of work).

She knows, and I got the OK to post from her last night. She’s perfect.

Finding her was easy lol. We went to college together and she lived in the same dorm as I did. She was the girl next floor. (yes, I do intend to keep making that pun forever)

“Marriage is a wonderful institution. But who wants to live in an institution?”

—Groucho Marx

Seriously, though, congratulations. I’ve got 27 years of marriage in the books so far. Best wishes to you and your fiancée.
