majordomo's been suggesting and hinting for so long, I finally got impatient and said yes before he asked. Actually, I hadn't planned to do so quite this early, but I couldn't pass up an opportunity for a good pun:

Kyle: Would you like a hand?
Me: No. ...Would you?
Kyle: umm, no...(?)
Me: You can have my hand, if you want it.

Go ahead, dear, tell 'em that's not the way it was at all.

But then last night he insisted on driving down to Providence to ask my parents' permission. Silly boy. They said it was fine with them. In fact, Dad had put a bottle of sparkling cider in the fridge when Kyle called to ask if he could go "bother" them.

-In this community, there are two phases in the reaction to such an announcement:

1) Congratulations! May your wedding day be your happiest thus far, but still less joyful than the many that follow.

2) You're still poly, right?

[watercolorblue.livejournal.com]

Yeah, what he said. :-)
and also,
whoohoo! *bouncebounce*

2) I am still poly, I suppose -- one doesn't suddenly stop being poly, right? But let's just say I'm done being a _practicing_ polyperson.

...although I do still enjoy alliteration.
hmmm, now where did I put those pink and purple plaid pajama pants with the patch pockets?

No, I think that's pretty much how it was, including my implicit (?) as you set up the pun, darn you. :)

Thanks for the offer, but we already have a photographer in mind, and I know exactly what I'm doing for the invitations. :)

Woo hoo! Congratulations, Marfta. Nice wordplay, too. May you both enjoy life's verbal volleyball game.

See you Saturday!

Congratulations!

[laurens10.livejournal.com]

Woo! Congrats!

[42itous.livejournal.com]

Thank you, everybody!

Something funny I realized today:

On my birthdays, I've always looked forward to birthday wishes and attention -- those contacts with my friends and family were far more important than cake or even apple-picking.

But today, wonderful as it is to have the congratulations and hugs and phone calls, the very most wonderful thing is to have my Kyle.

[tapuz.livejournal.com]

OH! WOW!

Congratulations on the big step and many happy wishes for many happy moments to come.

[luckylefty.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

[caulay.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Best of luck to both of you.

Now I know why you were so wound and bouncy last night.

HURRAY for Martha!

[arthurthedented.livejournal.com]

Its been a long long time but it lifts my heart to hear you have found someone... I can remeber your joyful puck-ishness radiating even in leaner times I can only hope and imagine how it shines now.... probably doubley because i imagine you picked a fellow who has that too... looking forward to basking in a new hello someday...

ethereal congratulations till then...

Scott
