We met here on hatrack, and in the AOL hatrack chat room. The wedding will likely be in late Spring.
So...

Congratulations! Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
Thanks, everyone! We're both pretty excited.
It was a very sweet proposal. He waited until the day we celebrated Christmas with just my mom, dad, and brother. His was the last gift. He made me cover my eyes, and when I uncovered them, he was on one knee. I couldn't verbally say yes because I was sobbing, but I think he knew my answer. Both of our hands we shaking so badly that it's a wonder the ring ever got on my finger.
Behind me, I could hear both my dad and brother getting a little weepy. My mom is a little quieter.
And, Breyer, the scarf is so lovely. I got it on Saturday but haven't had a lot of time to tell you. I really love it. I want to wear it to dinner tonight, but we are going to one of those hibachi places where they cook your food in front of you, but I have changed my mind for fear of it going up in flames. I will mail a check tomorrow. Thanks again

I wrote that first, but umm... Didn't like the way it sounded for other reasons.

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
If anyone is in contact with Bob or Dana, let them know I want to invite them to dinner tonight (if they are in town). I left them both messages on their phones.
I would love to have a Con in our honor. I wish we could afford to invite you all to the actual wedding. Phil and I are on spring break in March, so we could try for something then.
Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
How many couples who are married have met on Hatrack or in a Hatrack-related way?
1. Bob and Dana 2. Ben and Lindsay 3. JonBoy and Brinstone 4. Mackillian and Nathan
I know there are more.
I'd like to make the Hatrack baby list by 2009, too.

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Dana's been active on EI today, Niki. You might try her there.
JonBoy and Brinestone would be on your list. Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
Returned your call.
Mackillian and Nathan
Posted by Tatiana (Member # 6776) on :
Saudade and Andrei, though they met on a satellite site, the Ansible moo.
edit: almost forgot Grisha and Kim, though she's not a hatracker, she was friends with one, which is how they met.
Aunt Kristine's Bene Gesserit breeding program is coming along nicely.
Congratulations, Xavier and Valentine! I think I was in the chatroom the night y'all started talking, wasn't I? I'm thinking we started joking about how Val really liked Xav or something, didn't we? Then what started as a joke came true?
This is awesome! I'm so happy for both of you!

You have a very good memory, Tatiana. Even I didn't remember that. I knew he signed on and was looking for music to download because he lost all of his, and he liked what I recommended. Things happened very fast from there (February 15, 2005). By July of that year he moved from California to be with me in Omaha.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
I thought you were already dating when I registered, at least close (though hadn't met). That was April of 04. Maybe not. I know my first memory of you was in chat starting our own band with shani.
Posted by Xavier (Member # 405) on :
I think you are right breyer, 2005 sounds at least one year too late.
And yes Anne Kate, you have a very good memory. I do remember that conversation .
Posted by Liz B (Member # 8238) on :

Congrats! Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :
Congrats you two! I remember your relationship started to blossom right around the same time as ours. It was cool to have other people going through the same distance crap to talk to.
I couldn't be happier for you.
and I too am up for that ValXCon or whatever.

Yeah, it had to have been 04. I'll believe it was some time in 05 when you moved in together.
