Congratulations, dpr and Nymysys! Now I just have to get my Australian guy into the country for a visit. (but only a visit, seeing as how the gov won’t let me marry him and make him a CrazyAmerican…)
And I was there! In typical JoeyHemlock fashion, I almost ruined it by saying stupid things and goading Nymmy into an argument about her not-so-favorite actress. Luckily, love prevailed and saved the day. There were some good Polaroids taken at the event, hopefully they will get scanned soon.
And no matter what anyone says, I did NOT inappropriately tough NymDawg. I DID NOT!
Congrats to nymmy and dpr. Dpr is my new favorite Toowoombian.
Congrats! I hope that you are both very happy together very soon!
Congrats to them, but I wanna hear about tiggy running around without underwear. 
DAMN.
Many congratulstions from me and Montfort.
First and foremost, congratulations and good luck to you both. Took nuts to propose in front of so many other people…
…and this was supposed to discourage them HOW???
Oh, that is just so wonderful!!
Congratulations! I don’t what else to say besides the fact that I’m exceedingly happy for the both of you, and that you found one another. Isn’t it grand?
Congrats again, and you have all my best wishes.
YAY YAY YAY, congratulations you lucky woman…he’s so dreamy.
When’s the ChiDope Bachelorette Party! I’ll bring the strippers and Jagermeister!
jarbaby
awwwww! This is just too cute!
Congrats to the happy couple.
You now know you have to name your firstborn Cecil, right?
More wedded bliss at the SDMB! How nice!
Whaaaaa… rob falls back in his chair
That’s so awsome!!
Geez, I’m still sobering up from the film student party last night (I got “most messed up person” award), and then I seem to be getting hit with news left and right.
That’s so very, very cool, Nym and dpr! A big congratulations to the both of you!
Are you even now on your way to The Little Chapel of Love?
We want details dammit!
I suppose I’m supposed to be all jumping up and down, singing in the rain, breaking into song and dance like a “West Side Story” gang-member, drop down, shout it from the rooftops happy for you.
Well I’m not. And I’m not afraid to admit that here. Oh sure, the two of you may be in love and I imagine on some level, it’s good that you found each other and are able to be together and yada yada yada…
But what about me? Anthony, don’t you realize Nymysys is my favorite flirting-buddy around here? I can’t flirt with her anymore. It just seems… wrong now. Besides, her flirting skills suck lately. I blame you for that. 
So here’s the deal, Anthony. It’s non-negotiable. Either you get wyldelf back on the boards to flirt with me again or find me another hottie to flirt with and be virtually married to (by the way, that’s gotta go to, cuz it’s just weird being virtually married to a Doper who’s engaged to another Doper). Otherwise, I’m left with no alternative but to run up to Chicago and… I’ll crash your wedding and um… Or wait! I know, I’ll sneak up on you and…
Aw hell, I don’t know. But I forbid this wedding to take place until dpr finds me another flirtatious virtual wife!
[sub]Ok, ok, I don’t forid anything (as if that really matters to the two of you!) I just thought a disapproving tone would be a fun change of pace from all the congrats floating around here.[/sub]
Good luck to the two of you. And if you can make it to California, I think you two can certainly make it to St Louis (much closer, you know) for a little visit before Nymsy is taken Down Under. Hey here’s a thought - since Anthony’s taking Nymsy to Australia, maybe he should send wyldelf up here! That would sure as hell get this little wedding-thing my blessing! 
And Nymsy - don’t forget to keep in touch from Australia. You don’t have to make the long distance phone calls, but emailing will be expected!
So where will this wedding take place? And do the Brisbane of the SD have to take Nym out for a hen party?
Congratulations and give us DETAILS!
Didn’t mean to bump this, especially in the face of the Pit thread and all the other weird stuff that’s been going on, but I just wanted to say how happy I am. Thank you all that were there to witness and to take pictures, and all that have posted here.
We have no internet access right now, so apologies if you don’t hear from us much. I believe that I’m going to take a break from the boards, anyway. It’s wonderful to know that people do support us and are happy for us, but the undercurrent of ill-feeling that has been threatening the boards lately is really making me tired. I know message boards, like any other type of community, ebbs and flows in cycles, but this has been a bit much for me. The good news is how it got really easy really quickly to figure out who my/our friends are.
Regardless, a lot of you have emailed at points, and I’d like to thank you as well. Odie and Scotti and Rasa and Euty and especially Nacho4Sara and all the others, I know I didn’t respond as well (or at all) as I would have liked to, but do know that it’s circumstances surrounding me, not bad intent.
Lots of people have my cell #, other than that I will check my email on occasion. I wish you all happiness, but life is too short to subject myself to people’s projections of how I should act or what I should be feeling. I can’t willingly open myself up for people to try to hurt me. I’m just not that self-destructive.
I’m in love. It’s wonderful. What you do with that info is up to you. I know what I’M doing with it.
Scene: Chicago, Saturday April 21
Time: nearing midnight
Present: some wonderful chidopers and a stunningly attractive woman answering to the name of Tonya
Suddenly drink shots appear in front of everyone. Before they fully realise what’s happening the music stops suddenly and an Australian steps forward and starts saying a few words. He sincerely thanks them for their presence and the opportunity to meet them and for their company tonight. He pokes fun at Americans and trades barbs lightheartedly with one of the guests. Then, before anyone realises he turns to the beautiful one and sinks to one knee and produces, seemingly from nowhere, a ring.
He gazes into her eyes and asks if she will do him the ultimate honour and make him the happiest man in the world.
“Will you marry me?”
Her wondrous eyes grow larger than normal and a smile that threatens to stop the young man’s heart spread accross her face and she threw her arms around him and held him tightly.
A muffled “Is that a yes?” was heard.
Somewhere after that toasts were made and even a change of venue but the young man doesn’t remember as much as he probably should have, for tonight was the night he made the commitment to his Soulmate.
Thank you all who came on Saturday night for sharing such a wonderful moment with me. The MOST wonderful moment in my life. It was truly a pleasure to meet you all and it was fitting I had dopers with me when Nym made me the happiest man alive.
We are truly happy. We are madly in love. We will be webcasting the wedding.
Gods, she’s wonderful…
(and btw: no, she wasn’t wearing any underwear)
Oh whew! I was very scared there. I thought this was going to be about something mushy (eew!) that made you have to remove your underwear.
