Hello everyone:)

Earlier today I proposed to Marguerite Kenner, my girlfriend (And editor of Cast of Wonders). She said yes:) No plans past this in the short term (She's finishing a law degree) but this has made my day and I wanted to share:)

If I could stop staring at lowky's post I would say congrats.

Yaaay!

(Why did I think you were already engaged?  I read the post and I was like, wait, they weren't already?)

Well, I guess that takes me out of the running. I mean, that and the fact that my wife has a strict policy against Heinleinian multi-level marriages with overseas couples we've never even met in person… Still, I fell like I'm missing out on something.

Oh, and I'm very happy for you and your lovely lady! If there is to be a post wedding US tour, please give me warning so I can make sure I'm early in line for tickets at the nearest stop.

Congratulations.  I second Evergreen's comment: Marriage is fun!

Congratulations!

Got married last spring myself, so if you need any advice...

(as I travel quite a lot, I collected a lot of wedding magazines before the marriage. the British ones had the best designs, according to my wife)

Congrats! When us nerds find the right kind of love it is certainly cause to celebrate. My best to you both.

Please forgive my typos and grammatical errors. I'm probably using swype on my phone, or god help me, holding my iPad aloft over my head while the baby sleeps in my arms. Believe me, the errors bother me waaaay more than they bother you...
