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

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.

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!

Tigerlily Gamgee · 11-23-2005, 01:58 PM

Ya'll should give me a pic for the pics page ;-)
Congrats!

I am unable to reveal a thing about it of course.

But I've had it since August!

Half of the problem is in deciding where to hold the day, all I know is I don't want it in the summer, and there needs to be a Homer cake.

the guy who be short · 11-23-2005, 02:34 PM

Will there be porridge?

You can PM me, I swear I won't tell anyone.

And I give up -- a "Homer cake"? Do you mean something like this?

If so, might I respectfully suggest something more like this with the message suitably altAred for the occasion. (Wish I'd been invited to Ralph's party.)
