Well, despite what may have been in cases #36, #8, #16 and #22 - perhaps season tickets to Michigan home football and basketball games, full Michigan attire, meet and greet Chris Weber (childhood michigan hero), an offer to move to Michigan and live with my fav Aunt and Uncle...?
Joel has chosen to forgoe what may have been in those cases and says "deal" to the most wonderful, smart, beautiful, God-fearing woman he's ever met - Lauren Elizabeth Rossi
Deal or no deal? "Deal" (push the button)
This is how it went down - on a chilly night on March 10th at Niagara Falls, NY. The multicolored lights illuminating the rushing waters that supposedly release positive ions in the air that have been known to turn friends into lovers, couples into spouses and have even inspired some to go over the falls in a wooden barrel... Joel Dae Eisleben proposed to a miss Lauren Elizabeth Rossi on one knee, in the snow...
Mission accomplished! - Here is a checklist of victories that ultimately led to a successful proposal-
1. did not forget to bring the ring to buffalo
2. Survived a 6 hour drive to chicago with to be fiance
3. avoided confiscation of the ring at the airport by swallowing the ring and passing it once I arrived in Buffalo - (painful, and not sure if necessary)
4. earned the love of a large italian family with past connections to the mob (was not wacked by lewis the older brother)
5. did not drop the ring over the falls
6. did not drop myself over the falls
7. proposed on bended knee
8. told her I loved her and that I wanted to marry her
9. got an "ok..." - good enough for me
10. reported back to uncle bill with the results
Operation Wedding has commenced:
We are thinking August 4th or the 11th
Now the balls in your court Uncle Bill - How much do you really love your nephew???

To my favorite nephew living in Columbia, MO. The date of the 4th is closer to the date I married the love of my life, your Aunt Lena (August 5th 32.75 years ago). The 11th would be tough. Lake Tahoe to Columbia is a tough connection. The 17th is the best. The 24th is most excellent (San Dimas, CA. talk).
For the location may I suggest the Laclede Retirement Center chapel. The organ sounds great. Great acoustics. The Vicors know grammie's name. What else could you ask for?
We are happy for you and Lauren Elizebeth Rossi. . Your mother called me Sunday with the great news. Can't wait to meet the newest member to the family. The question is, is she ready to meet us?
Congrats Joel! We cant wait to meet her!!!
