@denboy I did not doubt @lisaviolet, but I could not verify it since I do not facebook. Every time I am led to a facebook page I get a msg saying welcome back, do you want to activate your account. Have you ever tried to completely erase your facebook account? You can’t! They keep throwing it back in your face. Bastards! I am soooooo anti-facebook.
@mfladd I was just putting a label to your description of how you treated needing to verify @lisaviolet’s report. Now I’m beginning to think you have mommy issues.
Congratulations @snapster!
I got engaged during an earthquake. In Belgium, go figure (we thought it was a late night artillery exercise at the time). I wish I could take credit for planning it! Just say “yes!” to apocalyptic engagements. And getting engaged during a diamond ring eclipse is a very un-meh move!
@snapster You are very welcome. The program I used is a free, online, rather simplistic program (you draw with your finger on a touch pad or a mouse, limited undo, no ability to change anything after you save it, etc.) which is why it looks a bit primitive.
Anyway looking at it now I really, really, really wish I had written the date in yellow and then inside the yellow written it in a finer line in red - visually it would have fit in with the rest of it so much better. I was thinking hearts, red and pink (eg like what is used Valentines’s day) at the time I put the date in.
I’d be glad to redo it that way if you’d like (eg because you want to save it or do something with it, or whatever…). Doesn’t take all that long, although I don’t have time until sometime next week. It wouldn’t be completely identical (since it is all done freehand), but would look very similar.
Thank you all for the unexpected congratulations and encouragement. Christie and I have a lot in common but I’m happy to say my day job isn’t the subject of most of our conversation. It was cool to show her that “word got out” and have her read through your fun comments. My geek credibility is on the upswing!
@KDemo That wedding reception would be off the chain! I’m in assuming it doesn’t conflict with our Disney trip. Get those invitations out so I can RSVP, bruh!
Engaged in what?
@therealjrn to be married.
/giphy engage
@snapster
@snapster Congrats to you and your lucky Bride.
@snapster If this is true, Congratulations!!!
@mfladd you doubting the news reporting skills of @lisaviolet?
/giphy breaking news
@mfladd There’s a photo of him slipping a ring on her finger with the sun between them and it looks like he’s on one knee. Taking it old school.
So romantical.

Got engaged on Facebook? That’s retro.
I thought people were trending toward getting engaged on Twitter and Snapchat now.
Congrats, @snapster and future spouse!

Well now you’ve gone and done it.
No way I’m taking any blame for this.
Congratulations.

@snapster Are you saying she isn’t a VMP? You need to fix that.
@snapster So, you’re saying you don’t talk about us much? You’re ashamed of us, aren’t you?! Damnit dad, we tried our best!
@cinoclav
/giphy sob
Congratulations, @snapster! And to Christie as well!
I wish you both the best in everything!

I hope you were both wearing your eclipse glasses!
Congrats & hoping you are both very happy.

Congratulations! Truly. I’m a big fan of wuv and the bwessed awwangement.
You know what would be great? AN ENGAGEMENT FUKO!
(You were all thinking it.)
(Seriously, congrats to the two of you. Best wishes for a happy life together!)
@wishlish Nope, you were the first one to think of it.
@Barney I wish I had thought of it.
Congratulations on your visionary marriage proposal (VMP).
I trust wedding invitations will be the ultimate VMP perk?
