Snaga and Wonko are ENGAGED (and now MARRIED)!!

[Wonko The Sane]

Awww...you really think we're the cutest couple on TTF?! Thanks!!!

Anyway, his family didn't really disown him. They like him and me and they're very supportive. Much more so than we thought they'd be.

It's my mum who's disowned me...

We won it...but it was a hollow victory...everybody was angry about it. :-/

Re: Snaga and Wonko are ENGAGED!!

Well, I haven't been on TTF for ages, but I thought I'd give an update.

The wedding is set, nearly everything is done.

It's in 12 days, August the 14th, at a lovely garden on the Olympic Peninsula here in Washington.
They have Llamas! And Camels!

Anyway, the cake, the catering, the venue, the dress, the tuxes, the bride's maids, the groomsmen, all the BIG things are set and it's just the details to organise now.

Then I'll be moving to England after a 2 weeks and change long honeymoon in Hawaii. (First Kauai, and then the Big Island)

I'll try and post pictures when they're done. In the meantime I've been making Snaga's wedding gift, and doing tons of planning.
I've got a make-up consultation tomorrow, and a hair cut/colour on Thurs.
Half of Snaga's family got in last night, and one of my bride's maids (the best friend whose photos are posted in the member photo album) arrived tonight at 5:30.

I'm even having a bridal shower on Saturday!

Anyway, everything's coming together, thought I'd let you guys know what was going on, and pop in with a recent photo of me.

Anyway, everything's coming together...

Yay!

Well, I already sent you my good wishes ages ago, but it's never too late to say them again. Congratulations! May you be happy!

Re: Snaga and Wonko are ENGAGED!!

Heyyy, that's GREAT news, Wonko and Snaga!! It sounds like you two are passing the first test of a successful marriage...planning the wedding without driving each other crazy!

Congratulations once again, and make sure you post LOTS of photos from the wedding.

Re: Snaga and Wonko are ENGAGED!!

Yay! Congrats Wonks and Snaga! Wonko, you look like you're glowing and so happy in that picture!

It's amazing how quickly time passes. It seems like it was just yesterday that you announced that you were engaged. Now the wedding is in 11 days!

Best wishes to both of you, and I'm sending all my congratulations to you!

Re: Snaga and Wonko are ENGAGED!!

Yay! Congrats Wonks and Snaga! Wonko, you look like you're glowing and so happy in that picture!

Snaga looks a little bit different, doesn't he. Changed his haircut??? Nice tan, though...

So the time has finally come. Funny, but while on holiday it suddenly ocured to me that your big day was drawing near.

Wishing you all the best.

Re: Snaga and Wonko are ENGAGED!!

Just thought I'd pop in and give you two my best wishes as well. How exciting! Congratulations, Snaga and Wonks!!!

Re: Snaga and Wonko are ENGAGED!!

Hurray! Wedding! *dances around happily* All last month I would start thinking about you guys at the weirdest times--La la la, oh, next month is Aug-HEY! Wonks is getting married! Did she ever find a dress??? etc. I've been giving your (silent) LJ the hairy eyeball because it tells me nothing *hairy eyeballs* But yay! You do have a dress! That's great! *very hyper*

 

[Snaga]

Re: Snaga and Wonko are ENGAGED!!

Thank you all for your kind wishes. I know everyone here thinks of me as a horrible arrogant orc, but deep down I'm very fond of you all and the way you guys have been so nice to us and supportive has touched us both. I'm meaning to mention you all in my Grooms speech... not each one of you by name of course, but we really owe a debt of thanks to this place for bring us together! I'm really not sure I'm half as great as Nóm thinks, or half as cute as Arvedui imagines, but something wonderful is happening between Wonks and me, and it surely says something hopeful about this world if such things come to pass.

I am now more or less prepared for the whole thing. Or at least as prepared as I am going to be. I fly out to Seattle on Tuesday. It will be one of our usual emotional reunions, but this time more so since our long slow plans are finally coming to fruit.

We still haven't picked out rings. Or at least, I haven't. I have a feeling Wonks may have a very precise idea about these matters, but being apart we haven't been getting to any jewellers recently!

The ceremony is finally all worked out, and let me tell you that there is plenty to be said for just letting a priest tell you what you are getting. I had to write the ceremony, with Wonks' help. Even though there is much precedence, its far harder than you would imagine. I tried to work in many elements, since we have lots of beliefs and tradition to draw on. Alas, we wanted to find two trees to decorate in gold and silver, and have the wedding in their shade but it didn't work out. I'm still slightly concerned. Various people are far from home, with little internet access, and they need to get the readings I emailed them somehow. I'm sure it will come together.

In the meantime, I've graduated from uni, and landed myself a new job in London. That means we can now apply for Wonks visa to come and live with me in England. If all goes well, her move will be imminent, although I have to admit to some nerves on that front. It would be so bad if it got delayed.

I have found our house, which is just by Alexandra Park. I wish I could find a picture to post of the view of the London skyline from there. Its quite amazing on a clear day. But I don't want to have to live there alone for too long.

But for now, I'm trying not to worry about that. In the next week, we have the most special day of our lives, and then our honeymoon. Hawaii looks beautiful, and its going to be the best time ever.

Re: Snaga and Wonko are ENGAGED!!

I just wanted to poke in and say congrats, and think your right Snaga when you say that there is hope in this world, rarely do we hear of the truly beautiful things something as "menacing" as the world wide web can create. I wish both of you the best.
P.S. I just came back from Seattle for my cousin's wedding, it was very nice and cool when I was there, I hope the weather doesn't turn ill for your visit.

Re: Snaga and Wonko are ENGAGED!!

Dude, that news totally rocks! Congratulations

Re: Snaga and Wonko are ENGAGED!!

Well, I don't have much time here...all your well wishes and comments are just soooo hear-warming. They make me go all fuzzy inside.
Good thing too, because I need something to counteract the butterflies!

Anyway, it's been a long and strange journey here...it's nearly 2 years since Snaga and I began to talk in earnest. In some ways it seems longer, and in other ways no time at all.

The wedding is tomorrow, Saturday, and I'm getting chills just thinking about it. Nervous? YES!

We've got our rings now, beautiful white gold bands, very simple and traditional, and the insides are engraved with our names and the date of our wedding.

I've finished making Snaga's gift, and I picked up the second gift I got for him today, all the food, wine, silverware, stuff like that is all taken care of, and we only have a few things to do tomorrow.
I'm getting my nails done and Snaga's getting fitted for his tux, and then it's a rehearsal and dinner.

And then tomorrow...well, we're off...It's so scary, but today at the jewellers looking at the rings, I just got a big thrill inside.

I'm so excited!

I want to thank a few people, but I can't remember each and every person who's been sweet and wonderful to me on TTF over the past 2 years...

I'd especially like to thank the British Army, Thol, Nom, Ithy, Aule, Goldie, Beorn, Kor, Cir, Kell, DB, Rhi, Menchu, Rocky, and Sting, who little does he know, played a HUGE part in our relationship. I think he was the first TTF member to know we were an item!

Please let me know if I forgot anybody!!! I have a bad memory for this kind of thing.

Huggles! Next time you hear from me I'll be back from my HONEYMOON! Wooooo...


May I Prematurely Present: Mr. and Mrs. Snaga and Wonko The Sane!

 

[Manveru]

speechless... silent congrats from above!

Re: Snaga and Wonko are ENGAGED!!

Wonko's, and Snaga's talk about their wedding rings just leaves SOOOOOOOOOOO much room for for tacky jokes and pun-laden questions.

Here is a sample:

*Did you purchase your rings at "Celebrimbor & Sons, Ltd," purveyor of fine rings?
*Are the engravings in Elvish?
*This was covered already but what the heck: Will you recite the
"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them" line?
*Will you both vanish when the rings are placed on your fingers?


Oh, the possibilities are endless!

Re: Snaga and Wonko are ENGAGED!!

HOORAY!!!!!! I'll be sure to raise a glass in your names tomorrow. And we want pictures!

Really, I am so thrilled for you guys. Finally!
