Let me just start off by saying I have been married 11 years, As of today June 19th, My wife is the most important thing in my life with out her I dont think I would enjoy my boat 1/2 as much, So IMO the ring would come first, My vision would be you get married and start your life together and then become partners on a boat together (Message edited by whitechocolate on June 19, 2004)
