Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Now tagless for your comfort.

DH, all of 20 years old, bent down on one knee and popped the question in my dorm room with a tiny ring and everything, to my complete surprise.

I stuttered "yes."

Considerably more romantic than how we hooked up drunk at a house party the year before. We call it the one night stand that has lasted forever.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

We were at a party, he came up behind me, slung an arm around my neck and his mouth right up to my ear and growled, "Marry me, gorgeous."

Thinking he was just feeling really good, I grinned back. "Sure!"

He held me to it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My Sister and her husband dated for sixteen years before they got engaged. And then they didn't tell anyone for a month. That was nice, they had some time to just enjoy it before everyone went all wiggy.

Then on Christmas Eve he gave her a ring. They came over to Mom's and nobody noticed it.

Dude! She had us TRAINED! We had stopped asking!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Barb!

Happy Anniversary Jess and Fone Bone!

G proposed to me at the CN Tower. He started by saying "Since we're as close to the top of the world as we can get, I have something for you." and pulled out the ring box. I said yes before the box was opened.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

But it'd be kind of hard for him to do it during the proposal. I'm not sure if he should stomp on the tiny house before or after the proposal....

Clearly, you save the animatronic-Rex-house-stomping for the actual wedding, under the chuppah.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

She also created Big Drama at my wedding as well, by showing up in a white lace dress.
Are you kidding me?!? What possessed her to pull that kind of stunt?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Theo wins.

Of course, I shall never wed seeing as Ray Toro has gone and married his actual fiance to whom he has been actually engaged for some time.

The nerve.

“Not dead yet!”

What possessed her to pull that kind of stunt?

The fact that she's completely cracked. Also insanely jealous-- they eloped and didn't tell anyone because she was knocked up, so they never did the wedding thing and it made her nuts that we did.
