I have something to say...

[Victory Sabre]

I'm so happy for you two!

[fireheart]

Does anyone want to bet that the wedding decorations will involve some jewellery done by Rayven and some artwork done by Kisa?

[Zapper]

Great news! Kisa especially deserves some happiness given the crap she's had to put up with.

[RayvenQ]

Great news! Kisa especially deserves some happiness given the crap she's had to put up with.

She deserves way more than some, I just hope the happiness i give her will be enough.

I honestly can't say this enough, Kisa

[Geek King]

Not much to add here other than how cool it is to see two people who get on so well get together. Best wishes going forward.

I know I'm a pretty new member here and y'all don't know me very well, but I wanted to add my congrats to you two as well!

[RayvenQ]

Thanks! It's been 2 weeks and 5 days since I first asked her out and 2 weeks and 5 days since I first proposed and oddly, it has seemed not only much longer, but also much shorter. Guess thats what talking for 12 hours a day every day for over two weeks does to you

Uncle Jester chiming in!

First let me say that even I, Mr. Jaded, was inspired by this whole thing. Good for you guys! Rock on!

I've been on on the internet most of my life, in that time I've talked to probably thousands of people, and you stand out from them all, you're the most amazing, the most brave, strong and wonderful person I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, and to me, also the most beautiful. Every day I thank my lucky stars for knowing you, (and even more for being with me, if i thanked every one of the estimated 100 billion stars in our galaxy, it wouldnt be nearly enough). I don't have the adequate words to express how much I love you and how wonderful you are.

Kisa, frame this. Seriously. Amazingly poetic, Ray.

I am the happiest man alive right now, and if anyone, anyone whatsoever wants to challenge that, we shall settle this at dawn with stale Baguettes to the death!

If I challenge you, can I use stale Cuban bread instead? It's the weapon of choice down here in the Conch Republic!

I JUST FREAKING PROPOSED TO KISA WITH

SHE SAID YES!

And this is where I go into Serious Uncle Mode.

I think it's great that you guys have found each other, and are both so happy, both in general and with each other. But quite often early in a relationship, everything seems perfect, and later on, it....isn't. Because--and this is VERY important--nothing is perfect. Nothing and no one. Accepting imperfections in life is part of the key to happiness. So take some time, learn about each other, spend some time with each other--and I can't stress enough that I do mean WITH each other, physically, in person--learn what you like AND what you don't like about each other, and see what happens.

I am very glad to see Kisa say this is going be a long term process, because for it to have any chance of success, it has to be. A flash in the pan is easy. Long term success takes work, which will involve blood, sweat, tears, and even some heartbreak and heartache. If you can deal with all that, you are ahead of the majority of the pack!

So go into this with not only open hearts, but open minds and open eyes as well. If it works as you foresee it, FANTASTIC! If it doesn't, better to find out earlier rather than later, and hopefully walk away still friends.

And yes, I realize that my credibility as someone who got engaged to someone a mere to days after I met her is somewhat dubious. But I'd like to point out that I am not with that woman, and that we never did get married. As hard as it is for me to admit it, even now, perhaps that was all for the best.

This is a marathon, not sprint. If you remember that, you stand a far better chance of success than I had with The Brit.

I do hope you guys not only prove my doubts and skepticism wrong, but that you are happy, not only now and in the short term, but years down the road. Nothing would make this old jaded skeptic happier than that.

Can Seraph make a web page for this and Lupo do the decorations and invites? :P

Congrats, and there is now a hole in the floor where my jaw was! Go go gadget!
