I just wonder: how many boxes would that be?

Would you then be Eru's right-hand . . . errrr . . . pair?

piosenniel · 03-09-2005, 03:11 AM

A wish for the both of you:

Walls for the wind
And a roof for the rain,
And drinks beside the fire.
Laughter to cheer you
And those you love near you.
And all that your heart may desire.

~*~ Pio

Well what can I say?

I shall start with a big thank you for all the lovely messages! I have a big smile from reading them all.

But I have made sure to save one special smile for davem, because he's the one who brought me all this happiness in the first place!

davem · 03-09-2005, 03:32 AM

Thanks all. I don't know what to say. I suppose main thanks have to go to our beloved BW as without this site L & I would never have met. 'Strange are the turns of fate' as someone once said...

I am absolutely delighted for both of you, Lalwendë and davem! You've been walking hand-in-hand on the reputation list for awhile now, so to have you find each other in real life is a wonderful continuation. What is it they say about life imitating art (or was that the other way around?

)... I wish you all the very best - and this gives me just one more reason to look forward to meeting the two of you at "Tolkien 2005" this summer!

Wonderful. Best wishes to the both of you.

ps. For future reference: We want pictures.

Garen LiLorian · 03-09-2005, 09:43 AM

Seems most things have been said, so I'll just add my hearty congratulations!

Eruanna · 03-09-2005, 10:52 AM

Congratulations Lalwendë and davem. It is an institution that I too can thoroughly recommend (even after 28 years!!) Best wishes to you both

I'd like to share the following good advice, from Ogden Nash:

To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong, admit it;
Whenever you're right, shut up!

I second the request for photographs of the Happy Event, when it occurs
