It's official - the Hatrack drinking supply has been doctored again.
Tony and I are getting married!
We went down to Margaret River for a weekend, to a beautiful cottage in the bush, surrounded by native birds, kangaroos and other friendly animals. After a lovely day on Saturday, Tony took me to the Cape Leeuwin lighthouse - were two oceans meet (the Indian and the Southern). We went to the tip of the Cape, Tony got on one knee, and asked me to marry him.
Of course I said yes.
So now we, just as the two oceans, are becoming one. Aah, the symbolism.
The wedding will be at the end of the year to allow family members overseas to get here - so I'm looking forward to a fun engagement!

Oooh! Something that I'm probably one of the closest jatraqueros to! I might actually BE in Oz at the end of the year... Posts: 1431 | Registered: Aug 2003

And thanks for taking the pressure off. Now you two can post about how twitterpated you are and we can relax a little.
Isn't the end of the year the middle of Summer there? So if people from the frozen wastelands wanted to warm up in December, they should swing by your wedding, right?
And now, A little interpretive dance in honor of your engagement!
We can swap ideas, if the rest of Hatrack doesn't get sick of the proliferation of wedding planning threads. Posts: 9866 | Registered: Apr 2002

Congrats to Imogen and Tony! That was a very romantic place to propose. Fifteen gazillion points to Tony for choosing it. (To be used toward any prize Imogen sees fit. )
Bob_S... I just don't see that happening. I think you both are addicted to posting about how twitterpated you are about each other. It's a need... a drug. Not too bad of a one either as far as addictions go. So keep posting. Posts: 822 | Registered: Jul 2001

Whoo-hoo! More wedding-bells! Love is not just in the air, life-long committment is too. And it's catching!
Are we going to have virtual bouquet-throwing? I think there may be some young hopefuls out there ready to catch!

It does mean a lot, especially in the context of what we are facing here - only 36 hours after the proposal and we're having huge date issues with our families.
I want a stress-free wedding. I really do. Unfortunately, it seems our families have a different idea.

Aah, it will all work out in the end. Posts: 4393 | Registered: Aug 2003

imogen, although I've never been married, I've been involved in several weddings over the past couple years. One way to cut stress is to expect things not to go as expected. No amount of planning can prevent last-minute surprises. Just shrug them off and enjoy yourself.
Congratulations to both of you. You guys are awesome. Posts: 1090 | Registered: Oct 2003

Hmm. driving to Australia might be more difficult than driving to Iowa for me. However, I hear the scenery is about the same, so I'll just imagine I'm in Australia.

Tony is Scythrop. Doesn't post as much as me (I think he procrastinates less) but he is around.
( I was so tempted to answer the "Who's Tony?" question with, "My fiance!" - But I resisted. )
And Dan - just imagine kangarooos and maybe an ocean. Then it will be virtually indistinguishable, I'm sure.

Thanks all for the lovely comments. It's been a *real* good weekend, made even nicer by being able to receive happy thoughts from fellow disciples of "the rack"....
Cheers all, tony
