<lj user=”nyxie”>, I love you!

Candice and I are engaged!


We’ve been talking about getting married for a while now — I think
we mostly started thinking about it when my cousin Scott got married
last October. It was a small wedding officiated by a Humanist, and both
of those got us talking about what we’d do when we got married, and
we’ve been talking about it on and off since then as something sort
of abstract and in the future.


So on Monday night I asked Candice to marry me, and she said
“Yeah, probably someday,” and then realized I was really asking,
and said “yes”. No ring or date set yet; we were going to go ring
shopping this weekend but I was sick, and the date’s far enough off
(summer 2006) that we haven’t narrowed anything down yet.


I had no idea back when I met
Candice that things were going to end up the way they did. (It
didn’t take me that long to figure it
out, though.) The last year and a half have been some of the best
times ever, though, and I never want this to end.

Rich

  4. To those who came over here from my journal: yes, I will post ring pictures as soon as I have one. We’re looking for a sapphire ring.

  7. Aw, crap. I didn’t come here from your journal. Do I get to see photos anyway?

    Oh NOES!1! I’m going to have to friend you too, no later than 2006!

    OH THE THINGS I DO FOR YOU, MENDEL

    And yes, I’ve had quite a lot of sugar tonight, thank you. Please pass the sugar.

  11. Oh, and since I’m posting a thousand times anyway, I’m officially RSVPing for Something. If it’s a ceremony-type-thing, yay. If it’s me just cooking you two dinner sometime before or after, yay. If it’s me delivering your gift in person, yay. But I’m driving my ass up there. I think. How far are you again? Maybe I’ll fly. At any rate, there’ll at least be a Masque in your place someday soonish. Where ‘soon’ is ‘before 2007.’

    You still have time to run.

  12. Congratulations to you both. Do I get to be in the wedding, since you met through support? ;)

    Seriously, that’s awesome. I’m so happy for you both. May you live as long as you like and love as long as you live.

  36. If by “gay” you mean “happy”, then I am sure that Candice and Rich will have a very happy wedding indeed. :)

    (Congratulations, you two!)

  48. I just had to duck my head and check to see if any of my colleagues saw the tear slipping out.

    When you first told me about Candice moving in after so little time, I thought, ‘Either the boy is crazy, or he’s on to something good.’ Good to know you’re not crazy. 8^)

    I’m only sorry I’m not there to give you both an embarrassingly big hug.
