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 )

What???!!!!!

Nobody told ME about this!



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?

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!

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

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!!!

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

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-dūm' whilst dating. "Hmmm...just what is it about Balrogs that make people go gaga?"
