Congratulations are in order!!!

For those of you who may have missed it on Facebook, our very own Driven (Andre) and his girlfriend just tied the knot.  They were planning on getting married at a later date but moved it up due to the whole social distancing thing.  We've watched Driven literally grow up here, and I am thrilled for the newlyweds.  I am also proud of the man he has become.

Congratulations, Andre!!!

What an great pic. They'll certainly never forget this.

This just made my day when I saw it yesterday.  I had to run in a show my wife that our CHM youth was no longer a kid and was now grown and married.
Congrats to Mr and Mrs Driven!

Wow, how time flies. Congrats to Andre and his new bride. I too remember the young whipper-snapper.

Congratulations, and what an awesome picture.  Just imagine in 50 years time, when you gather around the fire place with all the great grandkids, and they ask about the face mask.  You can have some brilliant replies to that!  "Oh, we didn't have toothpaste back in those days." etc.


Congrats again.

Wow! That's fabulous. Congratulations Andre. So very happy for you both.

Thanks for sharing that Chris.

Very nice, love the pic.

Congratulations!

Now we just need to get Mrs. Driven on here 

Our widdle DBF is all grown up now.

Thanks to you all for having put up with me in the past, like 9 years. I had a lot to learn about the world, and like everyone I still do. For some reason I keep coming back here, even though odds are I won't meet most of you in person until the next life and I'm not as big into Christian hard music as I used to be.

Esther and I are currently self-isolating in an apartment that her parents obtained last year. Who said self-isolation had to be boring? Of course, I'm still doing school online and therefore keeping busy, but it's nice to be with my wife and her cat.

That is fantastic, this "self-isolation" will be a great test of your new marriage.  If you can handle being shut in together for several weeks with just each other, you should be able to handle anything!  Congrats again, so very happy for you and Esther.

You're not supposed to mellow out some until at least your 40s. Esther isn't making you into a weenie is she?

Honestly, and this isn't a reflection on anyone here who may be into writing and recording music, but it's hard to find Christian music with both excellent songwriting and production. Budgets aren't very big in the Christian music world, so there's often different sorts of harshness in the recording which can make it hard to listen to.

No offense taken by me because what you're saying is absolutely true.

Yes, sadly true. 

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs Driven.
Nice pic of the two of you.

That's my thought too.

Three cheers for the Renaults!!!
