Woo-hoo! Congrats to the two of you!
It was Olentzero’s Swedish love songs that convinced you to take the plunge, right?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
<does happy in love dance, gets tribbles>
You give the rest of us distance-junkies hope, you guys. I’m so happy for you and proud of you. My whole day is starting out well now.
That is just the BEST damn news. 
Woo hoo!!! Way to go Anniz and Montfort…just don’t scare the crap out of me like that again…good luck you two.
Keith
Congratulations!
Now, where the hell is that thumbs up smilie?
Congrats to the both of you, and best wishes for the future too!
What the heck…GO IGGLES!
Bravo! That’s wonderful news!
Though that title was pretty mean.
No, it’s fish that’s been soaked in lye. It’s actually not as bad as it sounds.
Anyhoo… Congrats, guys! And I’d like to say that I’m in on that ring business, too.
Have you considered a faux diamond in the meantime?
((Montfort and Anniz))
Muy congrats to you both! I am so jealous of the Vegas wedding plans – I always wanted to be married by an Elvis impersonator. It’s just so tacky – actually beyond tacky into post-tacky. However, you do know that the obvious wedding present for people who get married in Vegas is a painting of Elvis on velvet? Be frightened, be very frightened.
Jess (who’s off to Ebay – do you guys prefer old Elvis or young?)
However, there’s plenty of room for ‘bad’ above ‘as bad as it sounds.’
Oh, and Mazel tov to Anniz & Montfort!
Hey! Congratulations! I figured as much from the title of your thread and was happy to see I was right. Good for you two.
<sigh> [sub]I guess this means I’ll never get to take those pictures now, huh?
[/sub]
Hey – that’s great news! Congrats to both of you!
A big thanks to everyone from me.
I’m of course a very happy woman.
Right now Montfort is still asleep
and he’s so cute.
Wooooooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooo!!!
I knew you two would end up engaged. Enjoy yourselves you love birds!
Congratulations you two!
Congratulations you two.
You have to keep us updated on the wedding plans and all.
Oh and pictures…we want lots and lots of pictures.
BTW wedding pics would be very nice but Honeymoon pics would be even nicer. 
Congratulations you two!
Las Vegas will be a blast. That’s where my SO and I are going to honeymoon.
Best of luck guys!
Do you realize what an inconvenience it is to have to stuff your eyeballs back in your head and try to pick up the parts of your brain that shot out the back of your skull five minutes before a staff meeting?! Not to mention trying to shove your heart back down your throat at the same time.
I’m in that line that’s forming to give you a proper whuppin’ for that thread title, Montfort. Even if I did figure out a split second after I read it that you were probably engaged or married already.
Having said that - Gratulerar dig båda! I’m extremely happy for the both of you, especially if you settle back down in the DC Metro area so I can practice my Swedish more. God knows I need it and I don’t have the time on Saturdays or the $175 to go to Swedish school out in Falls Church.
I wish you both the best and an absolute bare minimum of red tape from the INS.
Oh, John - those weren’t love songs, those were drinking songs. Or rather songs about drinking. But if I can teach Montfort at least the first verse from Opp Amaryllis then I will consider my duty done.
ROFL!
I read the subject line and saw how many responses were up and had to dash in here. Panicking, thinking that a good thing had turned sour… What a pleasant thing to find out that you’ve moved FORWARD not BACKwards!
Congratulations you two!! The best of lucki np reparing everything and all the best wishes for your new life together!!

Sir Rhosis: I’m flattered, really, and humbled by your post. But, I can’t accept it. When the time comes, I’ll be able to afford wedding bands, which are the important rings, when the time comes. If you really want to donate to our cause, chip in with Jess on the tacky Elvis painting on velvet.
Soda: Jag är ledsen. I would hope that the Stockholm celebration will coincide, or at least fall very near, the Nordic Dopefest. I’ve been trying to talk Anniz into roadtrippin’ to Copenhagen across the new Öresund bridge, which I believe is somewhere near Lund, right? We’ll see…
Jess: I wanted old Elvis (the one that went to Vegas, after all), but Anniz outvotes me and wants young Elvis. Thank yuh, thank yuh very muhch.
Juanita Tech: Faux diamond? Nope. If a poor former victim of Apartheid hasn’t mined it, I don’t want it on her finger.
Johnny L.A.: A few reasons. Mainly, I don’t speak Swedish. Also, I have better prospects here in the States and she wants to move here, anyway. Finally, Hi Opal.
thinksnow: No, of course not, you’ll just have a lifetime of opportunities for it. For starters, we’ll need a wedding photographer…
Carina42: Registering… Hmm, I want to go with Best Buy, but I think she would prefer Ikea. Don’t know why, it must be a Swedish thing. 
Olentzero: Anniz is one of the few people who have heard me sing, and I think it’s proof positive that she really does love me when she can tolerate my voice. However, I don’t think she’ll stand for me butchering songs of her homeland. Thanks for the offer, though.
I’m sorry that I scared so many people with the Subject, I nicked the idea from someone (I forget who) and their “I don’t have a girlfriend anymore” thread from a whileback. I didn’t realise so many people would read it literally at first. C’mon, you think I’m going to let her go?!? She’s a keeper.
Okay, here’s MY offer…
Jess had it right. Since they’re getting married in Vegas, we need to get them some Elvis stuff! And well, since my parents live in Memphis… evil grin
I think I’m gonna need to do some shopping while I’m down there next time. Want an “Old Elvis” painting, Montfort? Or a Graceland Christmas tree? giggles
