An Announcement!

[surrealestate]

We announced this on Facebook right after the fact (because chaiya tweeted it and also posted a photo, so we had to get on the ball to avoid getting totally scooped :), but for those who haven't seen it there, DD officially proposed Saturday night at the Arisia party we were hosting at Pi-Con, via adorably geeky video (ask to see it when you see one of us in person), and of course I said yes. :)

To make sure nobody feels left out of the discussion, I present a poll that embodies the quintessence of such an occasion. At least these days.

[Poll #1609680]

Comments

But seriously, congratulations AND Mazel Tov.

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

You have way more standing to select that one than most people. :)

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

WOW!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy for you!! :)

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

[kalliejenn2.livejournal.com]

yayyy!!! congrats!!! (can't wait to see the video!!)

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's very cute. :)

How about "Marriage is the tool of the patriarchy, so you can use it in deliciously transgressive kinky rôle-play"?

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

See, this is why comments are enabled.

(And also why I prefer LJ. 100+ responses of various sort on Facbeook, but the LJ discussion is already more interesting with under a dozen. :)

Congratulations!

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

[cos]

That took so long, I almost forgot you were still dating! Wasn't that something from the 90s? :)

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

We're totally retro!

[c1.livejournal.com]

Hetero marriage is soooo 20th century.

...Congratulations!!

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I totally should have used something like that for the last poll option!

[srakkt.livejournal.com]

This thrills me! Two of my favorite people!

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks. :]

[chaiya.livejournal.com]

I asked permission before tweeting it! You could've said no! ;)

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

But that would have been less fun!

[moria923.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

Guess I'd better get my ass on Facebook. I created an account, but haven't yet done much with it.

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

You didn't miss anything, though -- it was the same announcement, but less interesting :)

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

I totally know a Justice of the Peace! ;-D

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

I amend that. In your case I'd be a Justice of the Piece!

[ifotismeni]

oh my gosh CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

One of the reasons I took the professional bartending class was because JB and ^^^ there have got the JP thing locked up, but I figured the other thing that costs a lot at weddings/receptions is the bartender ;-) So if you have anything that looks like a reception happening, I'm happy to offer my services! ;-)

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Literally within minutes of the proposal, people in the room were making plans for our wedding, but so far, we don't know what we're doing. :)

[majes.livejournal.com]

Fah, with the institution of being the corrupt force of destruction that it is, how could I not support this.
>:-)

Srsly though, you two are full of awesome - I'm so glad to hear that you've made this choice. I am hopeful that you all will establish the new gold standard for how to do marriage.

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks!

And I need to contact you about some plots and plans... (You may have already heard things via other channels.)

[chris-warrior.livejournal.com]

that is very cool. congrats!

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

One of my votes is sincere. The other is me being a smartass. :-)

[intuition-ist.livejournal.com]

likewise :)

[geoffroi.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

YYYYAAAAYYYYY!

[oneagain.livejournal.com]

And, yeah, it's ABOUT FREAKIN TIME YOU ALL BECAME TOOLS!!!

When is the date? (I'm making slow progress on the photo thing, maybe I need to focus more if at all possible...;> )

Re: YYYYAAAAYYYYY!

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Heehee!

Unclear, but we don't really want to stretch out planning. There is a possibility of January. Wheels are turning...

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

Hey, wow, that's GREAT!

Mazel tov, you guys. ;-)

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

(Always love that userpic...)

ah, a clicky box just for me

[cthulhia]

I am totally amused at the number of people who "liked" my comment on facebook. (o:

but... all the rest too, of course.

Re: ah, a clicky box just for me

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

I laughed out loud when I read it! But hey, we can't argue, either. Heck, people were mistaking us for married before we even knew we were dating.

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Of course. :)

[burning-brain.livejournal.com]

AWESOMENESS! Wishing you a lifetime of it.

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

I think I'll go with A,B,C,D,E. And I was literally just wondering about an hour ago, "I wonder whether I've missed anything important by not checking Facebook in a few days..." :-)

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

See, you didn't, because it was here, too!

[pywaket.livejournal.com]

Hurray and congratulations!

It's been nice seeing such a happy couple up close :-)

[doctordidj.livejournal.com]

Yeah, what they all said -- congratulations!
