Engaged
« on: September 15, 2007, 11:34:30 PM »
I realized I never announced this here, but I'm engaged.  I'm getting married on December 28th in the Mt. Tympanogos temple. 

So yeah.

Congratulations! For all of you who haven't seen it, make sure to take a look at her ring sometime.

That's super, Fish! Yay!

And a Christmas wedding, too.  :D

Be sure to post some pics of you two, would you?

Oh, and any of you TWGish people who know me:  if you want an announcement, PM me with your address.  (If I haven't contacted you already, of course.)

He is a lucky lucky man. I hope he realizes that.

There has to be a story behind that ring. I demand to know what it is!!!  ;D

We decided that we want matching wedding bands.  Then Drew fell in love with these:
http://www.arizonaskiesmeteorites.com/Damascus_Rings_Meteorite_Rings/Meteorite_Rings/index.html

I find that fabulously geeky, so we've decided to get them.  I've never wanted a diamond (I find them overrated, overpriced and not to my taste), so we decided to go inexpensive and geeky on the engagement ring, since I won't wear it much after we're married. 

Then Drew found the teeth, and it made us both so happy that we decided it just had to be.  We're both pretty unconventional, so it works.

lol. Very good story. How cool to be wearing "Gibeon Meteorite" as an expression of geekly, unconventional love. That's awesome.
