Title: The friendly neighbourhood AWACS is... engaged?!
Post by: Setekh on November 16, 2005, 06:23:58 am
Hey guys. You remember, back in February, I mentioned that I had just started going out with one of the girls from my church? Well, happy news. As of a few hours ago, we are now officially engaged. :nod:

I don't really know what else to say. It's a happy day. Celebrate with me, folks. :)

Set a date yet?

Thanks, Geezer. You know I appreciate your support. :)

For those who weren't around then, here's the old thread: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31986.0.html . I realise the attachments didn't import over so the picture of her is gone. But an0n, she's something special. I'll leave it at that.

Totally on the money, Aldo. Just wait till the wedding photos come along. ;)

Hopefully before the end of next year, Grug. But no date has been set yet. :)

He's born 1985. Ed's a year younger than I am, which makes him TOO young to get engaged. :p :sigh:

Oooh!

Just remember: The whole point of a Maid of Honour and a Best Man is not to have people there to help the couple get married, but to ensure there's a couple who you can film having sex so you've got a nice easter-egg for your wedding DVD.

Oh and don't have a beach wedding. It ****s the dress and the glare from the sea and sand make photographs and video problematic. Greenery is your friend.

I might regret asking but since when were you an expert on wedding locations? (and ok I realise it's more to do with location photography than weddings, but still..)

I'd be betting his ability to use common sense, fleeting as it is, qualifies him.
Title: Re: The friendly neighbourhood AWACS is... engaged?!
Post by: an0n on November 17, 2005, 10:03:00 am
I'm an expert on all things.

It all part of my 'extrapolative-common-sense genius'.

What I don't know I can extrapolate from knowledge of other, similar fields or through piecing together of the various parts of the current situation/scenario.

Plus, beach weddings are tacky. Especially when you live on a giant island.

Also, the beach is traditionally very pretty, but ultimately dry, barren and symbolic of the desolation of the sea. If you have your wedding admist the vibrancy of a flourishing garden it sets a good precident for the rest of the marriage.
