In case you missed my Twitter update, I was the stunned recipient of a marriage proposal by the delicious John Foley on Saturday night. Of course I said yes.
Seriously, have you seen this dude?

My wife and I will be married 33 years this October. We’ll be celebrating 6 happy years of marriage.
Seriously, the best marriage advice was given to me by a friend “A successful marriage is a 60/40 partnership. You must BOTH give 60 and take 40″.

Shouldn’t you adopt a few third world orphans first?
5 joshpincusiscrying // Apr 20, 2009 at 12:00 pm
stunned recipient?
really?
6 Speedy Cerviche // Apr 20, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Remember, April: third time’s the charm!
7 Speedy Cerviche // Apr 20, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Also, where do we send the gifts?
8 April // Apr 20, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Speedy, the greatest gift you can give me is the loss of your internet connection.
9 coasterboy // Apr 20, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Ha!!!!!!!! Zing! April 1000, Speedy nothin!
10 John Foley // Apr 20, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Forget that, let’s hear about the rock.
11 Speedy Cerviche // Apr 20, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Whoa, whoa, there’s some h-core Speedy-bashing goin on here. You’re lucky I’m so stoned, or I would flummox you with a brilliant comeback or something. You too, coasterboy!

So, if you get married and then one of you decides to have a sex change, is your marriage still valid in the state of California? Enquiring minds want to know!
Congrats on your impending legal entanglement! May you never need a lawyer.

Welcome to the rest of your life!

It’s about time
So when do we get babbys?
15 adorisday // Apr 20, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Congrats, and the rock is perfect, so is the matching smile.
P.S. I can’t find the Martha S link but last week I sat my mom down at her iMac to watch April’s performance piece and we laughed so hard we woke up the neighbors.
PPS Really congratulations, he’s a hunk and you are hunk of woman. It’s hard enuf to live with someone and you two already passed that test.
16 Mavis // Apr 20, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Congratulations.
All the best to the both of you.

Drinks are on me!
22 DavidinBerkeley // Apr 20, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Congratulations to John Foley and good luck to Ms. Winchell!
Is that AW’s hand or JF’s hand in the picture?
23 DavidinBerkeley // Apr 20, 2009 at 4:15 pm
French tips. Must be AW.
24 TW // Apr 20, 2009 at 4:56 pm
Are you sure he didn’t really want to propose to Auntie Vera?
25 jim // Apr 20, 2009 at 5:31 pm
I’m honestly not well-heeled enough to give some sort of fancy gift – but I think there’s something I can DO that will get things off to a good start for you.
Yeah, what the heck, why not – this is just a tacky old Canadian tradition, a lot of folks have heard of it by now but it’s not very fashionable any more for some reason, & normally I wouldn’t bother, but for you guys I guess I can make an exception …

26 99 Cent // Apr 20, 2009 at 5:33 pm
April, you’re glowing! Wait, it this a shotgun type thing? Nah, I guess it’s just the lighting.
Congrats!
27 pal Jacky // Apr 20, 2009 at 6:43 pm
just remember , marriage is an institution. Not unlike jail or mental hospitals.
4/20 isn’t it just grand that people celebrate Hitler’s bithday by smoking too much dope?
28 pal Jacky // Apr 20, 2009 at 6:46 pm
does ‘Big Lots’ have a wedding registry? If not, you two are outta luck from this crowd.
29 Scott // Apr 20, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Love, exciting and new
Come Aboard. We’re expecting you.
Love, life’s sweetest reward.
Let it flow, it floats back to you.
30 John Foley // Apr 20, 2009 at 7:15 pm
You sure are beautiful in this picture.
Of course, that’s nothing new.
31 seanleprechaun // Apr 20, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Congratulations! Im so happy for you!
32 Mellotron // Apr 20, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Gratz April and John! Very cool!
33 Bob // Apr 20, 2009 at 10:36 pm
I’m all Twitterpated!
Congratulations. and here is some advice from someone who’s been married 25 years…..It’s OK to do it with the lights on.
34 socalfrank // Apr 20, 2009 at 11:44 pm
Here’s the wedding day talk my mother gave my sister: “Sex is painful and unpleasant, but it’s your duty to God to please your husband.” So April, do your duty to God and squeal like a pig.
35 PeekaBooRevue // Apr 21, 2009 at 3:05 am
So happy for you!
36 mere9 // Apr 21, 2009 at 6:29 am
i DID see the twitter and YAY!

37 ryanknapper // Apr 21, 2009 at 9:37 am
Shit! I waited too long, dammit.
38 Knavish Rogue // Apr 21, 2009 at 9:52 am
Forgive me for paying too close attention to detail but shouldn’t you divorce Mick first or are you going all Big Love on us?
39 DavidinBerkeley // Apr 21, 2009 at 10:57 am
5 points to Scott!
*ding!*
I think we should sing this at her wedding.
40 TheDoctor388 // Apr 21, 2009 at 11:09 am
Congratulations April. I wish you many happy years with John Foley.
41 jasmith31 // Apr 21, 2009 at 12:39 pm
Yeah girl, John Foley kinda right!
(that’s negrospeak for HE LOOK HELLA GOOD!)
42 EverybodysLittlePony // Apr 21, 2009 at 4:45 pm
Congratulations from a total stranger, April and John!
So, are you registered at Gelsons? Because I know you’ve had your eye on that package of bacon-wrapped chestnuts.
43 TW // Apr 21, 2009 at 5:02 pm
When’s the big event? Is Auntie Vera going to be the Matron of Honor?
44 ontopic // Apr 21, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Congratulations u2! April, you look fantastic. John, beautiful choice on the ring. May your future be filled with more ritzy STA Europass travel and adventures in inane (yet harmless) customer service.
45 haineux // Apr 21, 2009 at 7:36 pm
That picture makes him look like the incredibly buff, Israeli, Elvis.
Which I guess is a good thing. After all, look at Gilad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moVUEGhmFGM
(He’s in his mid-Fifties in that clip)
My wife: “Damn! He’s HOT!”
46 janedoe007 // Apr 21, 2009 at 8:13 pm
John, how cool to hear you proposed to April this month (and after the 1st). You guys were meant for each other … congratulations!
47 bjimba // Apr 21, 2009 at 10:18 pm
Yay!
All the best.
48 HurricaneBoy // Apr 21, 2009 at 10:18 pm
Congratulations, the soon-to-be April Winchell-Foley! (Or are we lookin’ at John Foley-Winchell? April Winley? John Fochell?)
… where are my meds, I know they’re around here somewhere …
49 Bad Bunny // Apr 22, 2009 at 1:04 am
WOOHOO! Way to go, April! I hope you two live a long wet n’ slurpy life together *s*. How about registering at Perla? Now THAT’S thinkin’…
50 Bad Bunny // Apr 22, 2009 at 1:06 am
and don’t just mary him… marry the hell out of him!
51 Bad Bunny // Apr 22, 2009 at 1:06 am
MARRY… you get the picture.
52 PeekaBooRevue // Apr 22, 2009 at 3:40 am
Good photo by the way. And being an art director, that photo could have been GREAT with some splash of colour to compliment the greens and blues. And your positioning of your hand could have been a little better. Ever hear of the rule of thirds? ;P
53 CranberryScone // Apr 22, 2009 at 3:50 am
You look so happy! Yay! Mazel tov!
54 SpicyD // Apr 22, 2009 at 6:11 am
About time that man made a respectable woman out of you! Congratulations April!!
55 jaxworlds // Apr 22, 2009 at 8:05 am
Damn.. I knew something was up .. I caught John watching a few of those ‘it’s got to be Jared’ commercials..

As a long-time listener (2000ish) and everyday frequenter of your website, but never-posted before guest (that’s a lot!) I wish you both the best.
I actually cried when I saw your pic, April. You look so beautiful. With all you have been through and all you have accomplished I can say that I am very proud, happy and overjoyed for you! Félicitations
58 Stretch99 // Apr 22, 2009 at 12:25 pm
What a great posting making a VERY HAPPY 420 !!
and April – I THOUGHT OF YOU!
I bumped into RIP TAYLOR leaving the cannabis farmacy in North Hollywood on 4/20/09
(Rip Taylor was the “What’s My Line” mystery guest the night April was first introducing Mr. Foley to the public)
***MANY CONGATULATIONS***
59 Knavish Rogue // Apr 22, 2009 at 2:17 pm
My sister sang this to me on my wedding day…

SO happy for you two. April, you got yourself a HOTTIE.
61 DavidinBerkeley // Apr 23, 2009 at 12:39 pm
I just saw the picture of JF. Holy cats!
“It may be a sarong, but it looks SO RIGHT!”
62 Knavish Rogue // Apr 24, 2009 at 2:15 am
SRSLY. Those dreamy, far away eyes and that all too happy with yourself smile are going to be the death of me.
63 Glo // Apr 24, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Take that, Patrick!!!
64 thefifthbeatle // Apr 25, 2009 at 9:26 am
Congratulations, April! I wish you both nothing but the best.
