Title: Engagements
Post by: Rage on August 13, 2008, 09:56:25 AM
Hi All,

So with Graceful's announcement/request to bring her fiancee I now know of 3 8 engaged couples in our MN group.

EDIT: This has become a page 12 of sorts.


1. LD & Rage - No Date, whenever Ladiedragon decides its time...
2. Char & Rob - 6/14/09
3. Graceful & Dan - 5/2/09 "Kilts welcome"
4. Erynn & Sam - Engaged but not allowed to marry do to unfortunate laws.
5. Rafe & KJ - No Ring or Date yet.
6. Astysmee01 & Astymee's Dude - 5/24/2009.
7. Caterina & Caterina's SO - 10/2008
8. Sitara & George - No Ring or Date yet.

Anyone else? anyone....anyone...anyone....

So I had brought up getting couples pictures taken but I couldn't find the thread so I started a new one. I would like to get a picture of 3 couples together as an "Engaged Couples 2008" thing. That is if we can get all of us together at the same time.

The thread sort of changed to a who's engaged. See MBM's post for the couples day picture info.....

Well, there has not been an official proposal, but my girlfriend and I know that is where we are headed and on occasion refer to each other as our fiance.  

Not having a renaissance wedding and don't have a date planned either.

Well, technically I'm engaged, but seeing the situation, its currently more of a permanent engagement then anything else right now.

Not that Sam makes it out to faire much anyways.

Now is the "WHAT???" in regards to us planning on getting hitched at some point, or the fact that we won't have a RenWedding?

Ladiedragon & I met at Fest.

We met at fest, became friends after through mutual friends, began dating after being friends for 3 years.  So a crazy combination of both..??

I got engaged this year...wedding date is May 24 of 2009!

We did not meet at Fest, but I worked at his mother's doll shop my first year 2003 with him, then for Olde World Wear and finally MacGregor Games (Hi, GP!) before becoming conscripted to The Dregs!

Nope, not a Renaissance Fest wedding, but probably a few Celtic touches (and plenty of booze!).

I may not be an Old Maid forever, but I still whine, and am partial to carrots!  ;)

The married thing...I'm still wrapping my head around you guys dating.

Not that it is a bad thing just not something I had expected.

Nope, until you are married you are still kids . . . even if over forty ;D

after all, age is just a state of mind, or as Grouch Marx said:

""

no, I probably shouldn't say that.

My fiance's name is Dan, and we are looking at May 2, 2009 for a date, but nothing is set yet.
No we didn't meet at fest, nor are we having a fest wedding.  But the guests are welcome to wear kilts to the wedding.

Ummm... yeah... I meant 2009.  I changed it now...
What can I say, I might be a little anxious to get it done but I am not time traveling in order to get married prior to getting engaged.
