Cailín and Eomer would like to announce their engagement

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Hello all. Wonderful news! Cailín and myself, Eomer of the Rohirrim, have recently become engaged to be wed. There are a few Downers who already knew we were on that path but now, with the acquisition of a beautiful ring, it's official enough to announce to our favourite internet community.

Though Cailín is not an active poster these days, preferring to haunt these parts silently, she was rather busy on here a few years ago - especially in the Werewolf games. In fact, that's where we first met! You know how it goes: he's the wolf, she's the Seer, she dreams of him, they are both massacred bloodily, and it's all very romantic.

When it emerged on the 'What do you assign to Mordor?' thread that Cailín was negotiating a year abroad in Aberdeen, Scotland (or God's Ain Toon as it's usually called) we started PMing, and chatted amiably enough to decide an RL meeting might be appropriate. Things went swimmingly, and a few weeks later we were an item. Her year at Aberdeen University ended, and I decided to return with her to her homeland of the Netherlands in 2007.

We've since realised that we can put up with each other well enough, and have agreed to take the plunge into marriage. So there you have it. We understand it's not the most original thing, the whole Barrow Downs wedding, but we thought you'd like to know.

So thank you Barrow Downs!
