derspatchel and I are engaged.

I gave him a copy of The Lady's Not for Burning. He gave me Tom Swift and His Repelatron Skyway. I brought the rings: a design of two cats, side by side. At the Friendly Toast, we signed our names to the question on the frontispiece of one book and the finale of the other.

(We are still making wedding plans. It is with great self-restraint that I have not titled this post THIS WILL ALL BE GONE INTO AT THE PROPER TIME.)

We are very, very happy.

Aha! That is fabulous. I had forgotten he had played that role. Very cool.

I think not dealing for a little while is traditional. Incidentally, speaking of references I think you will appreciate (though I suppose that was only tangentially the topic), as Ben & I plan our wedding, I appear to have convinced Ben that he also wants the first dance to be "O Happy We" from Candide.
