Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
[Edited to wave at StuntHusband, posting with him for the first time - you were at the F2F, right? I've never had it in reverse before - first seeing a poster's picture, and only later reading his font. Is it silly to welcome you to b.org, so late in the game?]
It is not silly! Thank you, and hello! And congrats! And yay!
What marvellous news, Nilly! Oh, you deserve such happiness. Congratulations to you and the khusband.
NILLY!! AND KHUSBAND!!! So many congratulations!
Congrats dear Nilly and Future Khusband. So cool to read such fabulous news. I'm all a-squee (but quietly since I'm at work).
Oh, Nilly! The best of all possible wishes to you, and congratulations to your Future Husband! Blessings on you both. This is a fabulous milestone year for you, and it's wonderful!
...Will you two be honeymooning, Oh, I don't know, in the States, perhaps? So we could congratulate the happy couple in person, and not incidentally, meet the groom and hug the bride again? It's been far too long between Nilly hugs.
Congratulations, Nilly! So many big life events happening for you.
My mother is cleaning my house. I'm trying to feel guilty about it
I'm sure she's loving it!If she's anything like my mother she is. Once when my mom was visiting, I came home from work and she was sweeping the street in front of my place. I still give her shit for that one.
Will you be moving to his place or getting a new place together?
His place, at least for the coming year. He rents a tiny place (who used to be a - um, what's the word for it? - cow-house before it was renovated and all the smell removed) in a small town that is somewhere in the middle between his work, up north, and the family-friends-where-I-teach-currently-at-least, in the center. There'll have to be quite a bit of re-organizing this place for me to move in it, but he seems to like this idea, so that's OK.
Do you need things for the wedding? Do you need things before the wedding?
There are lots and lots of stuff to do, arrange, get, bureaucratize, run after and try to accomplish on time and without stressing people over. Two months is not an un-heard-of short time (in Israeli religious couples' standard) in order to arrange everything, but it's not on the long side, either.
Also, msbelle, you're just great. For the record.
Wave to her if you see her!
I would love to! Congrats to her!
Oh, and I am ridiculously glad that I managed to post before sarameg left for her trip (I hope you have a wonderful time!).
(Honestly, I just posted that because I know he's Sephardic with a huge family, so I would have laughed and laughed if you were going to the wedding or something...)
And that American honeymoon? Hmmm, Nilly?
He rents a tiny place (who used to be a - um, what's the word for it? - cow-house before it was renovated and all the smell removed)
Barn.
But now I like the term "cow-house."
