Happy News

[dreamshark]

ambertatge called last night to let us know that she and Olin are engaged!  They haven't picked a date but are figuring sometime in the next year, once they figure out where to have the ceremony. It was all very romantic - a formal proposal with a ring and everything.  On a mountain top, even.

Congratulations to them!

So, how much were you surprised?

[dreamshark.livejournal.com]

Well, they've been living together for 5 years, seemingly very contentedly. So I would have been a lot more surprised if they had suddenly broken up.

Terrific! And we found out through the traditional way: From the mother. Not a tweet.

Tradition!

I guess LJ is more traditional than twitter, sure.

I didn't make my LJ post until Amber made her announcement on Facebook, which is probably the new tradition. Apparently making such an announcement simply involves clicking an item in a dropdown menu, changing one's status to "Engaged." Not exactly romantic, but certainly efficient.

Good lord! What with the mountain and all this makes you Maria Von Trapp's mother!

Facebook is in fact how I found out earlier. That change in status thing is really quite effective. But congratulations here too.:)
