Announcement

[livejournal.com profile] emilytheslayer and I are engaged.
I asked her on Sunday morning just before we went to help [livejournal.com profile] ryan4d2 and [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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!

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

They're undermining the institution of marriage!

That's one of out goals, yes.

I feel the stability of my own marriage crumbling already!

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

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?
