AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

I KNEW I'd miss something very important if I'm going to be two weeks without the 'downs and here it is! Aaaaaaaaah!

But so much congratulations to you both! You're two wondeful people and you make such a lovely pair! Congratulations again, I'm so happy for you!

Belated congratulations from me too!! Ganz herzliche Glückwünsche!

I have shamefully neglected the BD (and LJ) of late, so it's only today that I noticed this spectacular news!
Well, if I remember rightly, it was originally me who brought your attention to the BarrowDowns long ago, Macalaure. Who would have thought that this would have such consequences!

Macalaure · 08-07-2007, 04:24 PM

Once more, thank you for all the new congratulations and wishes!

Indeed, indeed!

And I cannot say how much I thank you for it now, Guinevere!

Let us hope that nothing comes about to ruin your lives.

Thanks, Alien... Thalien.

This is almost an epidemic....

I suppose congratulations are in order, though the dour pessimist in me suggests that condolences might be better, but we shall ignore him and go with the congratulations.

Shall we, like Bilbo's party guests, be receiving invitations so magnificent in gold ink that we shall feel like utter boors for being unable to cross the Atlantic for the occasion, or would the possibility of turning the wedding into a 'Downer reunion be a little untoward?

Perhaps an addition should be made to the FAQ/ Forum guidelines that it isn't compulsory for the unattached to choose a fellow downer as a life partner ...they are allowed to look further afield ... or indeed remain single.

Hmm... wasp-flavoured wedding cake, anyone?

Am I the only one who thinks that sounds delicious? After all, wasps are very bright, and we all know that bright things are pumped full of sugary sweetness... (or poison, but far less often).

There was a famous (or infamous?) proposal made by one Downer to another in a post here, but I think mostly these things are driven by chat, PM and email. There is, after all, a certain decorum here on the Downs. Chat is so much more personal and even intimate, with its real time feel, and email and PM makes for things off topic, so I'm not sure that such a forum warning belongs in the forum FAQ.

Although possibly SpM could consider adding something to the Werewolf FAQ.

Congrats, folks, and may RT be as fun as VT.
