AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

I KNEW I'd miss something very important if I'm going to be two weeks without the 'downs and here it is! Aaaaaaaaah!

But so much congratulations to you both! You're two wondeful people and you make such a lovely pair! Congratulations again, I'm so happy for you! :)

*dashes off to read a detailed LJ-version* :D

Belated congratulations from me too!! Ganz herzliche Glückwünsche!http://www.myrias.de/Templates/Webpr...es/drummer.gif

I have shamefully neglected the BD (and LJ) of late, so it's only today that I noticed this spectacular news!
Well, if I remember rightly, it was originally me who brought your attention to the BarrowDowns long ago, Macalaure. Who would have thought that this would have such consequences! ;)

Once more, thank you for all the new congratulations and wishes!

Indeed, indeed!

And I cannot say how much I thank you for it now, Guinevere!

Well done
 

Let us hope that nothing comes about to ruin your lives.

Thanks, Alien... Thalien.

This is almost an epidemic....

I suppose congratulations are in order, though the dour pessimist in me suggests that condolences might be better, but we shall ignore him and go with the congratulations.

Shall we, like Bilbo's party guests, be receiving invitations so magnificent in gold ink that we shall feel like utter boors for being unable to cross the Atlantic for the occasion, or would the possibility of turning the wedding into a 'Downer reunion be a little untoward?

Noooooo turn Alaska into the new Downs Headquarters!!!!!!! cause theres nothing Tolkien related that happens here.:(

P.S. Have a good prosperous marriage together...

Perhaps an addition should be made to the FAQ/ Forum guidelines that it isn't compulsory for the unattached to choose a fellow downer as a life partner ...they are allowed to look further afield ... or indeed remain single. :p

Hmm... wasp-flavoured wedding cake, anyone?

Am I the only one who thinks that sounds delicious? After all, wasps are very bright, and we all know that bright things are pumped full of sugary sweetness... (or poison, but far less often).

There was a famous (or infamous?) proposal made by one Downer to another in a post here, but I think mostly these things are driven by chat, PM and email. There is, after all, a certain decorum here on the Downs. Chat is so much more personal and even intimate, with its real time feel, and email and PM makes for things off topic, so I'm not sure that such a forum warning belongs in the forum FAQ.

Although possibly SpM could consider adding something to the Werewolf FAQ. ;)

Congrats, folks, and may RT be as fun as VT. :D

I wasn't being serious BB... of course I may change my attitude if the forum becomes as full of "smug married" couples as a Bridget Jonesian dinner party ... now if you excuse me there is chardonnay to be drunk and self-help books to be read ;)

In our case, mostly Skype: modern day God of love, though sometimes just as capricious as the older ones...

I thought I'd just add this: the very first time I interacted with Mac here - in a WW game last October - I distinctly remember saying to myself: "there's just something about this Macalaure...person. I think I could develop a crush on him/her if I'm not careful...let's hope it's an adult male..." :D

:eek:

Heh. I'm amused. I'm still waiting for the phantom to tell me he's either old and fat or fifteen and pimplier than normal. ;)

Dearie me, I wasn't either Mith. :eek: I think WW is still popular enough that its secondary enticements don't need to be acknowledged. ;)

Well as far as the WW games go ....
 

How about a warning like on cigarette packets :

"Playing werewolf could seriously alter your marital status"

And it could mean a new response to the "Why aren't you married?" question..

:Because underneath my clothes my entire body is covered with a were-wolf's pelt ......

And just as, um, "uncontrolled" as discussion boards, emails, chat. :eek:

You don't suppose that, when comes the time to plight your troth, as the saying goes, you will be asked to"love, honour and share Barrow Downs passworlds"? :D

Well, I doubt very highly anyone's idea of fun is spying on a couple of geeks arguing about which film should be made from the Silmarillion first.

Although I could be wrong.

:p

EDIT: This is regarding the "Uncontrolled Skype", not the passwords...

This is interesting, it could reveal things about our personalities. Rikae is attracted by someone's game play, I am attracted by someone's intimidating knowledge and debating style...What does this say about the things which really do attract women to men? ;)

Sorry I'm a little late, but I have to give my congragulations! It was fate that determined your meeting, macalure and rikae, not coincidence. :)
