It's been 13 years since I posted. today I married the watcher pat..but we are having our main day in the canal court on Saturday.. We first came across each other through the board 17 years ago.. We have been lucky to have a messenger chat all these years with people we met thru this board.. If you remember us we hope u are happy for our wedding day..
Leenie and the watcher pat xx
No way! Of course remember you both - are you the first gaaboard wedding?
Congrats to you both!
Many congratulations and many happy years of attending and diagnosing games!
Wow! Congrats
;D ;D That is both brilliant and absurd! Congrats to you both. Where should we all send the RSVP?
Congrats, the board was very different back in the earlier days.
Two threads spring to mind from back then related to marraige, and looking back (on your posts) you started one and had a few posts on the other.

Four pages on this thread in under a hour...Just goes to show you what you lot are all like!!
I agree name and shame the PM'ers
Brilliant stuff. Congrats you pair.
Wow! Congratulations to you both!
It's only £100 for a couple these days tho.
Congrats on the big day. Great news for the board. Bound to be a mini series in the offing?
Congratulations. That is funny that you met through here.
Ah brilliant! Comhgairdeas libh.
He obviously never posted anything that put you off.
Does that make us all Cillas?!
Congrats Leenie and Pat 🙂
Congrats to both.
Congratulations to you both.
Don't know if you're Star Trek aficionados but here's some sage advice on marriage from a Klingon:
Congratulations to you both
See you all on Saturday.
Congrats folks. It is my own wedding anniversary today. 16 years. On that day it was also Grand National day and Comply or Die was the winner... say what you will about that.
Congrats both...remember you both surely. Well done and hope you both have many happy times ahead.
Congratulations to you both.
Maybe there should be a dating thread on here? We might see more weddings ;)
Congratulation to you both!
Now that you've given away the venue - does that mean we're all invited to the evening do?
Who knew this place was also a dating app!
Congratulations to you both
Enjoy the day. And the championship
Good times on the board back in the day. Congrats to you both. Looking forward to the celebrations.
Is Maggie invited but not the rest of us?!

Maggie is bridesmaid and I do think we are the 1st gaaboard wedding
We have been asked alot over the years how we met and not everone knows the board.. but we will give it a mention in the speeches
I was at a wedding once where the couple met playing world of warcraft online.

Surely a free drink for all members attending Isnt too much to ask? ;D
The board could have thrown up a lot more marriages over the years but being predominantly male arseholes (obviously not Watcher pat) it probably turned off the female GAA heads out their.
How do we make the board more inclusive? Not too many threads for the ladies, which, considering so many clubs are nearly half and half with the teams seems strange enough or the pattern of social media here isn't much craic lol
The ladies football is pretty interesting these days. I wanted to read somewhere what the hell happened armagh against dublin but not much interest in it it seems. Even starting with that.

No

BTW congrats, great story.
Congrats Leenie and Watcher Pat!

Sub-board for ladies football & camogie discussion under the hurling sub-board.

Indeed, Ladies' football rarely gets a mention. Their league final is on Sunday, featuring those giant counties of Gealic football excellence, Armagh and Kerry.
Brilliant!
Congratulations to you both, great news!
Pat was obviously doing more than watching all these years ;)
