OOH, RIO, I want to see your ring in person! (AND YOU). I will be there all day Monday and part of Tuesday if that works better for you.
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Congratulations, Rio! There's something about the bended knee thing, isn't there? It's a lovely ring, too.

Are you ready to be strong?

That's a Sunday, right? I'll be just getting back from Costa Rica, but if I'm not too tired I would love love to come.

Yes! I didn't think I'd care about that, but when it started happening I freaked out.

Me too, Rio. Bits of my heart went melty that I didn't even know were there before.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Rio, you can have Saget, but *I* want to marry your ring, too! So gorgeous!
BUT STILL NOT AS PRETTY AS YOU!

What is even happening?
Thanks aurelia and Narrator.
tommyrot, I can't even answer the first question on that:
1. How do you pronounce Aunt?
Like the word want
Like the word ant
Like the word caught
I pronounce them all the same
None of the above! If you choose "want" the quiz results state "Clearly Massachusetts, SE Maine, or Rhode Island" as a result.
I can't speak for Rhode Island, but that's not how (most) folks (whom I've heard) in SE Main or Mass say aunt. We have more vowel sounds, and our "want" doesn't have an "ah" sound in it, where our aunt does.
The "an" in want is pronounced the same way we pronounce the freestanding word "on". I don't get the "caught" option--unless they just mean vowel-wise, because there's no "n" sound in caught, and that vowel sound is aw, where aunt has ah.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan
Rio! Your ring is so so pretty! I can see why you're so excited, and what a great story!
I am 53% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

Cindy, surely you can't be surprised to discover an online test is inaccurate. I've yet to find one that isn't.

Nope. It's a monday. I hope you can make it.
