Announcement

[lynxreign]

emilytheslayer and I are engaged.
I asked her on Sunday morning just before we went to help ryan4d2 and ioianthe move.
On Saturday we'd gone to an all day party in NH at her friend and favorite jewelery-maker's house. The party was an excuse to pick up the necklace I'd had made for her. I did the initial design and she did a wonderful job translating that into her own style, which emilythelsayer loves.
The original plan had been to ask her that night, but we got home very late.
For pictures and more details, she's put up a post that you can find here.

This still doesn't release our claim on you, btw. :) But I guess in case of the passing of head58, we'll have to take both you and emilytheslayer in. Well, we have two extra bedrooms, so it shouldn't be much of an issue...

Thanks!

Don't you live in the middle of nowhere?

[head58.livejournal.com]

You mean New Jersey?

Congratulations to you both!

Now, to begin the traditional harrassment of all engaged couples: Have you set the date? Will it be in a church (ha!)? Will you be having children right away? Are you registered yet? Are you going on a honeymoon? And my favorite, uttered by my father-in-law to C when we announced our own engagement: "Are you sure you know what you're getting yourself into?"

:)

Enjoy!

I thought they lived in MN

[head58.livejournal.com]

They moved to the Princeton area a few months ago.

Will it be in a church (ha!)? Will you be having children right away?

They're undermining the institution of marriage!

Welcome to the wild ride!

Oh! That's much better.

Thanks!

To answer your questions:
Have you set the date?
No. In a few years as she wants to graduate from grad school first.

Will it be in a church (ha!)?
It will not be in a church. It may be in a church (ha!)

Will you be having children right away?
Only as an appetizer during the reception.

Are you registered yet?
We are both registered to vote, yes.

Are you going on a honeymoon?
Possibly, depending on when we're married our honeymoon may include Worldcon in Australia.

And my favorite, uttered by my father-in-law to C when we announced our own engagement: "Are you sure you know what you're getting yourself into?"
Who ever is?

[originalcatfood.livejournal.com]

Yes. MUCH MUCH better.

I feel the stability of my own marriage crumbling already!

That's only because I asked you not to tell her.
