OK, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snapesbabe proposed to me by dropping a fairly big hint in an email and then saying yes when I rang and said ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
metro_weird has the full story or alternately you could just watch the YouTube.
Hmm, on a different note, worth observing. When we met in February, we had two mutual friends on LJ (ginasketch and freddiefraggles. Now, through us meeting each others friends and simply talking about each other and to each others friends, we have 60 mutual friends. Since we announced the engagement just under two weeks ago, I've been added by 13 more people (which is quite scary). As I've always tried to keep the total accounts I read (including feeds and communities) below 500, in order to keep up with actual, RL friends and friends of friends, I've removed a chunk of feeds and some actual LJs; I believe most of these to be dormant, but others are simply people I've not really connected with or even heard from much recently. I still have too many accounts friended, but I don't read the blog feeds and similar on my default--for those wondering, every LJ account I've got on my list is on my default, and is also on one of my three main filters, but only those people I've met in person are on my "always going to backread unles impossible" filter; also, all my viewing filters are public and linked from my sidebar. Some people set great store by these things, so just thought I'd say.
Oh--I haven't added back a few accounts that I believe to be spammers or serial adders, if that's not the case? Well, my userinfo does say to say hello. I'm still busy with various things, and not feeling 100%, my system is rebelling against me currently. Ah well. A few other posts to follow next few days about various projects (I hope).
snapesbabe proposed to me by dropping a fairly big hint in an email and then saying yes when I rang and said are you asking me to marry you? This guy? Might just possibly have planned it a little bit too much. Incredibly well done though;

Others might not do so, in which case, well, proposals might get refused.

But yeah - you'd really need to know that she was going to love it. The public proposal thing alone would have been enough to have me running for the hills.

She said "Not if you don't ask me properly", so I got down on one knee in the middle of the supermarket and asked her. Luckily for me (and probably unluckily for her) she said yes, that was nearly 16 years ago now.

On the one hand, I'm kind of feeling bad that I wasn't quite up to snuff. On the other hand, I was terrified enough that you'd say no to a gentle hint via email; I think I'd have possibly died of terror had it been public.

Silly moo; I liked the way you did it, so very us. The way he did it was obviously suited to them, but it matters not.
But yeah, asking publicly is only good if you absolutely know the answer—although why you thought there was any doubt is still utterly beyond me.

Maybe I thought you had more sense?

ie: not much at all, really.

But then, I do have a strong nasty streak at times.

I actually reached for your hand at one point in the film before remembering you weren't there. That's a bit worrying.

Tis like when people propose on the gigantic screen at the baseball games. It would be moritifying for everyone involved to say no, so the proposee always just says yes and probably gives the proposer a proper whack later.

And this is is me saying hello. Actually been meaning to add you for a while - hope you don't mind!
Sorry for being one of the Scary People! lol

Though the wedding will totally NOT be online because I want to give hugs, darnit!
Ok, and also I totally want to wear a dress that pushes my modest boobages up to the "woo hoo lookit THESE!" stageno subject
Hmm. Maybe we need an official wedding blogger...
