sentimental ramblings.

Oh, bugger it, I was going to post something long, self-indulgent and sentimental but LJ just crashed and ate it. Bare bones, then.

I went to Yorkshire for Christmas with my folks. I stayed here, it was awesome and there was a LOT of sledge-riding in a beautiful snowy landscape.

Just in case anyone doesn't know, I'm engaged, to a very nice American ( Read more... )

If it's going to be in the US you probably need to make sure we know where you'll be in plenty of advance so we can get organised to be there...

Yeah, we're going to do that as soon as possible. I feel kind of bad putting it so far away from a lot of people, but it's one of those unavoidable things- who do you inconvenience? Does putting it in one place or another exclude anyone entirely? Tricksy.

Well if it's the side of the US I think it is, they say the fall is very nice there.

Either way, you will be holding some kind of UK-oriented party also, I guess?

I think so. Probably later in the year, not sure when. Not during any big larp events!

Apparently some super-efficient, wedding-loving part of the Mclaughlin family's collective brain has swung into action, and picked out somewhere good and leafy as a good spot. It's an arboretum with a labyrinth and many trees, I'm told, but I'm not sure where it actually is. I feel I'm powerless to stop these wheels from turning, but the train goes somewhere nice so that's ok.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with having a wedding on a larp event weekend!

That sounds like a really nice venue. It's nice to have other people helping with the planning I think, it can get really hectic otherwise.

Congratulations!

Elderly relatives is a good reason to get married elsewhere. People will understand.

Best wishes and good luck to you both.

Thanks! She'll need it, I'm sure.

I thought you were done surprising me and then you go and mention an October wedding.

You hid your goth side quite well, Mister Everett.. until now! Halloween is every dayyyyy.. etc.

No, no, it won't be on Hallowe'en, I need it to be on the 29th, on my younger brother's birthday.

See how he likes THEM apples. A better piece of family one-upmanship you won't find.
