Well, it’s official. I delivered the ring on Valentine’s Day (yes, that gooey sentimental one 🙂 ), so now we’re officially engaged. She posted a picture in her LiveJournal ([here](http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=zyada&itemid=160301#cutid1) if it works for non-LJ people), and I’ll post another link when I’m back at work on Tuesday. ---

Hey! Congrats! So, do I start watching “The Province” for an announcement? Heck, why go local when you can shout it to the world on the Dope! Are you getting married in Burnaby? Dinner at Hart House and all that or something different? Hey, I’m actually speechless! This is the best time of your lives, so best wishes, best of luck…oh, heck, WHOOPIE!!! ---
