Rikae and Macalaure announce their engagement
 

In the night from yesterday to today I proposed to my beloved Rikae and she accepted.

There is yet no planned date because neither of us is able to permanently move into the other's place in the immediate future, but it will be within the next two years.

As you might have guessed, we met here on the Barrowdowns and will always be in debt of this website. We got to know and eventually got to love each other over several months here, on LiveJournal and in countless long nights on the phone, and now we finally got to meet in person a couple of days ago.


PS: Pictures will follow soon.

Let me be the first to congratulate you both. All the best. :)

And seconded! :D

That's lovely!

Here's to our second Barrow-Wedding! Cheers! :D:D:D

Well the second engagement ...they might yet be the first wedding ;) .

I think marriage is a great idea (for other people :cool:) so many congratulations...

WoW!
 

That is so like from a modern fairytale!

Congrats to you both and do live happily ever after... :)

The 'Downs strikes again! Congratulations to both of you, I'm so glad it's all working out. :)

Congratulations!!
 

Well, I believe that it may be the third Downs engagement.

But congratulations to you both nonetheless. :)

Dare I suggest a Werewolf-themed wedding. ;)

:smokin:

My question here is, dare you play Werewolf together ever again? ;)

As I've said in LJ, my congratulations!

My best to you both. :)

:eek: Another one!

Congratulations!! Best wishes to you both!

The third? Not the second?

But what is 'an engagement'? I can't believe they beat us. ;)

Neither can I. :p

Congratulations! :cool:

Yay! Congratulations! :D:D:D

Congratz0r!

Best wishes and all that! :)

Congratulations! I offer a toast *points upward* and many happy wishes for a long future together.

(PS I broke my 3,333 post number just for that :p)

What???!!!!!

Nobody told ME about this!

:eek:

Seriously...
thanks to everybody who congratulated us! I'm writing this post while sitting next to Macalaure and he wants me to say something nice now, but I refuse. Instead, I shall punish the lot of you with a picture of the two of us.

Fearsome, aren't we? :p

Anyway, I wanted to especially thank Noggie, because it was he who gave me an opening in Menel's WW game to flirt with Mac when he insisted that we were lovers. Thank you!

Sheesh, stuff Tolkien...

The Barrow-Downs, All New Dating Site!

;) But seriously, nice going Mac and Rikae.

*gushes*

Aww... don't they look cute... :)

Be my guest. I thought it was about time then... :D

Definitively cute. Look at those eyes. Just love in them and not too much sleep lately... :p

I come, blinking eyed into the light from my self-imposed media blackout in the name of Not-Spoiling-Last-Harry-Potter-Book and this is fine news!!

Congratulations!!! :D

So, following in the scary tradition set by the Lalvem/Davwende monster, will you now be known as Mackae or Rikalaure? ;)

Of course you know that this eventually means you will have to buy more bookshelves *she says looking at a house rapidly turning into the British Library* and extra copies of new releases to prevent domestics? ;)

Oh, that's wonderful! I wonder, did this possibility even come into anyone's mind when the Downs were started? Could the Professor himself even have thought of this possibility? I'm sure he would be glad to hear that not only his works inspired many people, not only bring together people who would not have otherwise met, but even bring together people to love and be loved, and allow the love blossom. But it's not about Tolkien, it's about you, whom I (daresay - at least a little bit:)) know. And this being the first engagement I "see live" here, I consider this event a little miracle. Congratulations to you both! And my prayers will go with you if you allow it.

I wonder if my mom would let me frequent here if she knew it was a dating site:p

Congrats(even though you probably don't know who I am...)

Congratulations!
 

Best wishes!


alatar begins to ponder the effect on LotR on relationships, as once at a party he and his now wife read 'The Bridge of Khazad-dûm' whilst dating. "Hmmm...just what is it about Balrogs that make people go gaga?"

Their wings. :p

Would explain their apparent lack of them; them wings seemingly being a main ingredient in many a love potion.:p

Congrats

*Squeals*

Congrats to both of you. You seem to be perfect for each other.

Wo will ihr live? Und which Spräche will ihr speak?

Thank you so much for your congratulations, here and elsewhere! You are all such lovely people!!


The US, turning the state of New York into the new Downs headquarters. :DDenglish. :p

Let me add my heartful congratulations to the well wishes being heaped upon you both! Here's to a delightful life together!

Congrats to you both!

Cheers,
Estel

May your life together be as blessed and happy as my own. (My wife and I celebrated our 23rd anniversary last month, and it just gets better with time.) Heartfelt congratulations to you both!

Seconded. :D

Congratulations!!!!

*squee and all that*

I remember watching you in WW with much amusement... :p

So happy for you both!!

Migration to Upstate? But... it's so boring here... ;)

Congrats, guys. I love seeing people on their way to happily ever after. It reminds me of all the good parts of life.

Congratulations! Simply delightful! You make such a handsome couple!

How wonderful, congratulations, Rikae and Mac!

Well, that's gonna be an interesting story to tell later.
Best wishes and hope you'll be forever happy together!

Too bad Legate isn't a girl and three years younger...:D:D:D

Congratulations you two!:D

They're just details The Might, you can work through them. I sense a second Down wedding coming:p
