Lalwende & davem wish to announce their engagement - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Lindolirian · 03-08-2005, 06:59 PM

Aww, that's so cool. You'll be having a marvelously long courtship to get things worked out, so it's probably too soon to know if you've got a date set, I hope.

After all you two have been together only as long as my leg has been broken... now that's odd.

Good luck to you both!

THE Ka · 03-08-2005, 07:07 PM

Oh wow!

Well, Blessed be you both! I wish you both that it will be great on both of your parts!

************************************************
To think the BD's will become a match making paradise for Tolkien fans... Hmm... This will be interesting!

Anyways, I wish you both a wonderful relationship.

~ A blessing Ka

Lolidir · 03-08-2005, 07:32 PM

Congratulations and may you both be eternally happy.

Imladris · 03-08-2005, 08:46 PM

Congratulations to you both.

May your marriage be happy and not founder as so many marriages seem to do these days.

I took that personality test and I recieved Gandalf... Only problem is, I don't have a beard.

Anyways, This is wonderful and I thought it deserved a quote.

THE Ka · 03-09-2005, 10:54 PM

As everyone, (Or almost everyone has requested) I hope there are pictures!

I'm trying to think of a gift for you two but...

I guess a painting will have to do, that's my only physical talent. So, I guess the next question would have to be: Watercolours or Oils? Realistic or Abstract consepts? Or just a big beautiful fantasy piece?

the phantom · 03-08-2005, 08:57 PM

Holy moley!!

That definitely put me over my shock quota for the day.

Wow.

I suppose this means you'll be getting a joint Barrow-Downs account?

May you have good times and smooth sailing.

Encaitare · 03-08-2005, 09:31 PM

How perfectly wonderful! Congratulations, Lal and davem -- much happiness to you.

Orual · 03-08-2005, 10:41 PM

Congratulations!

May you have many, many happy years together.

Err surely the courtship phase is over? And engagement surely by definition happens when the date of marriage is more or less decided (ie engaged to be married at that date ? ) Or maybe I am hopelessly old fashioned

? Some of the most successful relationships I know were established after quite short courtships - much more positive, than a lot of dripping about, (in Middle Earth cf Faramir and Eowyn and Aldarion and Erendis ).....

Anyway that is by the by Congratulations!!!!!

davem · 03-10-2005, 03:07 PM

As far as the date goes, we're looking at December 13th (or the nearest available date to that) as that was the day we met.

Again, many, many thanks to everyone for all their good wishes.

Hope to see as many of you as possible in Birmingham for the Conference, where we'll happily accept congratulatory drinks......

luthien-elvenprincess · 03-10-2005, 06:25 PM

I offer my congratulations to both of you, Lalwende and davem! May God richly bless your love.

Maeggaladiel · 03-11-2005, 11:01 AM

Ah me; wights in love! Now you can tell people that you found love after death! "We met in a barrow, and I instantly knew that she was the wight for me!"

"Will you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wight?"

Okay, enough wight jokes. Congrats!

You need to have a computer nearby when you get married so we can all send you PMs through the entire service. Just have rows and rows of computers in the audience, each one representing one of us.

Better yet: lifesized cardboard cut-outs of our avatars!

Webcam?

..... well my British but NZ resident friends had their son's christening in York for the sake of their families so his Kiwi godfather made his vows by mobile phone.......

Great idea Fordim!

And I must say congratulations to you both on this most blessed and sacred occasion, may you find eternal love and companionship in your union.

I must also recommend the RPG idea that has been planted, how splendid that would be.

Merry meet,
And merry Part,
And merry meet again

Eternally,
Esgallhugwen

So are we getting close to the blessed day or what?

Now that I have a place in Gondor, I've been wondering if perhaps I could (ab)use that by starting a RPG there entitled An Unexpected Wedding...

Afraid things have had to be put back till spring - for various reasons - I'll keep you updated. We're both very happy, the dress (which I haven't seen, of course) has been bought, & we're both looking forward to the big day

Anguirel · 11-23-2005, 12:52 PM

More like the Long-Expected Wedding then!

It is, of course, green, and comes with a hooded cloak, right?

Oh, and riding boots, there has to be a pair of travel-stained riding boots!
