Christmas!!!!

[ooc: Posted early for obvious reasons, takes place the day after this.]

I would like to wish all my friends a Merry Christmas, happy holidays, joy to the world, peace on earth and goodwill to all men, women, children, aliens and fairies. I hope that gifts made it to you guys in time for the day, and if not, they're on their way!!

Now, I have a very special announcement to make. Please don't kill me for not saying anything about this before, but I wanted to keep the people who knew to a really tiny number for fear of jinxing it.

Last night, I asked Orlando to marry me, and he said yes!!!!!

I don't think I've stopped smiling since he accepted, and I can't imagine anything making me happier except our actual wedding day. I'm kind of freaking out because I can't believe this is actually happening. I mean, what if I'm just dreaming and really have a life working as an insurance salesman in Lincoln? This wonderful life with fabulous friends and loved ones can't really be mine, can it? I can't be in love with the most amazing man and ready to spend my life with him, can I?

I'm so blessed, I can't begin to wrap my head around it. And as we all embark on a new year, I just wanted you guys to know that I couldn't be happier that we're all heading there together.

I'm engaged. To someone I love and adore beyond belief. I could get used to this feeling.

That's good to hear! *smiles* I look forward to seeing you and Orli getting together, and hearing about all the details leading up to it.

I'm hoping there'll be a minimal amount of drama, but I've seen "Bridezillas," so there's no telling what'll happen. Actually, I think it's going to be tons of fun.

*raises eyebrow* "Bridezillas"?

I actually have no idea what's involved with planning a wedding. *grins* Well, besides the bachelor's party. If there's anything I can help you with, you know where to find me.

It's this train wreck of a show that follows seemingly normal women as they plan their weddings and watches them descend into madness and turn into monsters as the happy day approaches. They had a gay couple on there recently and one of the guys acted just like the women. I was shocked.

*grins* I'm going to remember your offer, you know, so you could get recruited for... God, I don't even know what, but I'll definitely call you when the time comes for your help!

Huh! I guess wedding madness can strike anyone. It would likely effect more guys in general - gay or not, but men typically avoid the planning and preparations like the plague and leave it all up to the women.

*laughs* I look forward to it.

I've got it all planned out. I'll be the one who stays back and remains calm, so when some vendor screws things up and Orli goes postal, I can rush in and soothe his jangled nerves.

*laughs* That's quite the plan!

With any luck, that won't be a concern.

*crosses fingers, grins* From your mouth, etcetera.
