Spoke to SB on the way home from the office for lunch, quoth she:

A woman's mind is cleaner than a man's, she changes it more often

Made me happy, anyway...

ETA: I was more cryptic than her, but as she's confirmed in comments to this post, this morning snapesbabe asked me to marry her.

Of course I said yes.

* is very happy that you're happy *

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

* all melty over the "of course" in the edit as well *

[pmoodie.livejournal.com]

Yay for comparing people's minds to underwear! LOL

[matgb]

Well, it is her mind after all, it's frequently filthy...

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

*blinks*
Wow, that was quick. Congratulations!

[matgb]

Nearly 6 months now; I know people that got married in less time than that, so overall, not so fast. But, well, you've seen us together—it just works, can't argue with that.

Thanks.

[el-staplador.livejournal.com]

Um. Yes. That'll be one part WTF, one part congratulations, and one part good luck.

[silentgreeneyes.livejournal.com]

I second that.

[options3000.livejournal.com]

Cangratulations!!! I am extremely happy for you both!!!

[pshtaku.livejournal.com]

yay! congratulations!

[getawaywithit.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! And I think you've made a minor first by being the first person I know on Facebook to have changed their status to 'engaged'. :)

[matgb]

Aye; I've seen a breakup, and a few changes of status one way or another, but not an engagement.

Oh, I think there was a wedding—either Duncan or Ryan got married recently?

But, y'know, nice to make use of features; this way I reduce the need for phonecalls down to 4, 2 down thus far...

Congratulations!

[steely-glint.livejournal.com]

Hurrah!

[tyrell.livejournal.com]

Wahey, well done!

[eldar.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

[caseytalk.livejournal.com]

Congratulations and best wishes to you both. Welcome to life in an institution ;) We're 16 years and counting. My parents are 51 years and counting.

Does the Shrubbery know and, if so, what was her reaction?

And, on the (extremely) off chance I can make it to the event from Uzbekistan, will I have to wear black or purple?

I'm very happy for you both.

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

faeriecween wants to wear her cowboy hat LOL. I think it would actually be quite nice not to make people wear things they are uncomfortable with, or to impose strictures on anybody at all. I hate being made to wear things I don't want to wear just because it's tradition, so I don't see why I should force people to BREAK with tradition if they don't want to.

I think it's best if we talk to shrublette together, but I can't see her having a problem with it. She adores him, and is always saying things like "Mat is your bestest friend in all the world, isn't he, mummy?" and asking when he's coming to visit again about five minutes after her leaves...

[staceyuk.livejournal.com]

Congratulations to the both of you! *hugs you both*

[nadriel.livejournal.com]

Well done! Congratulations, and similar expressions of good stuff!

[matgb]

Pub tonight by the way, join us?

[andrewducker]

Congratulations!

[crashmatt.livejournal.com]

Fantastic news! I'm so very pleased you you both.

[shaysdays.livejournal.com]

Well dang. Traditionally,, you say "Congratulations" to the fiancé (as his proposal has been accepted) and "Good luck" to the fiancee (so as not to seem like you are congratulating her for snagging a man.")

However, you've managed to turn that on it's head a bit.

So best wishes, salutations, and may all your perversions come true.

[matgb]

Bah, traditions. This is LJ, it's where we met, we make our own traditions.

Besides; she'd ruled it out before, and knew I wasn't going to ask again.

may all your perversions come true.

It's hers I need to be worried about.

[moviegrrl.livejournal.com]

WOW!
Happy happy happy for you both!
:D

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

Eee, congratulations!

[lostinarden.livejournal.com]

Weeeee! Congratulations!

[two-brains.livejournal.com]

Weehey! mazeltov & congratulations to both of you!!

[gaeriwitch.livejournal.com]

*Is out of words*
SB popped the question? SB-I-shall-never-marry?
You really, really are a unique man.

Congratulations to the both of you!!!!

[matgb]

*Is out of words*

That was my reaction.

SB popped the question? SB-I-shall-never-marry?

Yup, her. The crazy one I fell for—even crazier, she was worried I might say no. I dunno.

[innerbrat]

You bastard. I don't see when people post ETAs because I catch posts as they go up. I also didn't get Jenny's cryptic post.

Bing had to tell me in the daily commentary as she catches up on her overnight flist.

*shakes fist*

[matgb]

There was going to be a follow up post, in a "for those that didn't see through the cryptic stuff" style, but, y'know, swamped at work. RLY.

It was supposed to be subtle hints but I think she might've been a bit too obvious, hence the ETA when I had a few seconds stuck on hold...

So yeah, follow up later. Probably.

[pickwick.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Wow. Time flies, etc.

[sweetcyanide.livejournal.com]

Awwww! Squeeeee! Congrats, wishing you both lots and lots of happiness :-D xxx
