and in other news

[pauraque_bk]

Man, I get so weirdly uncomfortable announcing big things and I never know how to preface them, so just imagine there's a smooth and natural-sounding segue here and then read the following sentence: hannelore and I are getting married next year!

I really want to write something thorough about why this is important to me, why legal marriage, and why now (I've been accused of many things, but making snap decisions is not one of them), but I haven't managed to get into the right mindset for it yet. It'll come.

But for now, yes! This is a thing that is happening and now you know about it!

Also, because people are asking: My fandom_stocking is here. This makes it sound like I'm soliciting engagement presents, I know, but I promise it's coincidental.

Now back to your regularly scheduled memes.

[pauraque]

Thanks, and no. But I figured that would be better saved for its own post.

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'm sorry. I wasn't sure whether you talked about it already and I missed a post.

[pauraque]

No, you didn't miss anything. There'll be an update soon.

I'm actually going to screen your first comment because I didn't really want to talk about that topic in a public post. But thanks for your well wishes, they're appreciated. :)

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to be indiscreet. I just assumed these two things went hand in hand and all was well. But I'm certainly very happy for you and hannelore.

[who_la_hoop]

Many congratulations! What lovely news :)

[pauraque]

Thank you. :)

I can hardly wait to see photos! :-)

[pauraque]

The photos might not be too exciting since we're planning a small private ceremony. But I'm sure we'll be smiling. :)

[logospilgrim.livejournal.com]

No matter how small your ceremony is, I am sure the pictures will be wonderful!

My wedding was minuscule (two friends, me and my better half, and the preacher at the Chapel of the Bells in Las Vegas *laughs*), but I was so glad we kept things small. A lot less stressful :-)

Meanwhile, back at the ranch... Yay ! Felicitations!

[pauraque]

I'm so bad at segues, it's just sad. So far the best I've been able to come up with for telling people IRL is "Guess what!"

[thimble-kiss.livejournal.com]

Aw, congratulations to you both! I'm very happy for you! ♥

[pauraque]

Thank you. ♥

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

Congratulations to you both! That's awesome!

(Also I sent you an email and a PM about a thing... :))

[pauraque]

I got your email and your PM and sent you a PM back! LJ's being ornery about sending you your notifications, isn't it? Thank you very much for the info and I'll be following up on it. Now I'll just hope you get the notification from *this* comment. :)

Thanks for the congratulations too!

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

Oh, FFS, LJ. I never got notification of the PM. I just checked my inbox, and there's apparently 5 PMs I didn't know I received in the past week. *kicks LJ with steel toed boots* I'm getting notices for regular comments, just not PMs. GAH!

I am so thrilled you're coming on board though! YAY! :)

I hope you'll give us a full report and photos when the happy day actually arrives. I'm thrilled about that too. :)

[fluffyllama.livejournal.com]

Oh, congrats to both of you! That's fabulous :-)

[pauraque]

It is! :)

[captainraychill.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!! :)

[pauraque]

Thanks!

[lolaraincoat.livejournal.com]

Mazel tov! Whoo-hoo! May your lives continue to be joyful, and grow more beautiful with every day you spend together.

[pauraque]

Aw. I think they will be. :)

[minutia-r.livejournal.com]

Mazel tov!

[pauraque]

Thank you!

[marksykins.livejournal.com]

Yay, congrats!!

[pauraque]

Yay! Thank you!

I'm imaging the segue was done by Riker, so it's all good. :)
