February 20th, 2006
09:16 pm - Affianced! Just about seven years ago, swan_tower and I started dating. In the intervening years, I have thought long and hard about how to go about asking her to marry me. She was, however, somewhat shy of the topic, so she told me that she would indicate to me when she had reached a point where she was ready to discuss the matter.
She indicated as much this past Thursday, February 16, 2006. She did so by ruining all my plans and asking me to marry her.
After a few minutes, I recovered myself enough from laughing in sheer surprise and delight to accept, though I demanded a ring of her. She complied. Thus, we are now engaged to be married.
To head off any such questions, we do not know yet when we will tie the knot, though my money is on some as-yet-unnamed date in 2007. Regardless, this is why I've been in radio silence lately. I've got a fiancée. I love her. She apparently loves me. Go figure.

Congrats!
She owes you big time for ruining your plans. You should get to pick the color scheme, the bouquet, and the dress. :)

Oh, man! Where would you stand... behind her? There's no room on either side.
Also: Is that, uh, "veil" a required part of the outfit?...
About the news: WOOT!

Without question. She could hide wedding party members underneath and have them emerge in a big flourish, all very Mother Cigogne in the Nutcracker.
At the risk of sounding repetitive, CONGRATULATIONS!!! :)
w00t, you old c00t! Congratulations.

ROCK! Congratulations. We should form an affianced club, or something. And then we will rule the world.

Not sure I have your email address. Feel free to drop me a line at [my LJ username] (at) (two computer manufacturers with no punctuation or whitespace between; the first is rather solar, the second is I believe the largest consumer PC manufacturer, named after its founder, whose first name is Michael) dot net.

I second, no Elvish from Aaron. His palatalized consonants are...unpalatable. :)
That's an awesome email description, btw. You lose style points for not sufficiently obscuring at, dot, and net, though. :)
AWESOME!!!! Congrats you two!
