Before I talk about the amazing books I'm reading and the fact my Gaslight Anthem tickets came in the post today and about how my supervisor is delightful ("What do you mean, I'm not scary? I've decided I'm going to be scary from now on! Expect an uncomfortable August!") or about how I start a new job in six weeks or any and all of that:

Shim and I are getting married. Not right now, not before I finish my job or even before the Gaslight Anthem go on tour, but... y'know. I'm sure y'all aren't surprised. Neither am I, really; not surprised, nor very aware of how things are different - but the idea is just, growth, isn't it? At the moment the plan seems to be that I will be admitted to the roll in England and Wales and get married in the same week, and, yes, that's it: that slow passage towards becoming. After four and a half years together Shim and I have become, not part of each other, but together more than just ourselves. It's how it goes.

We're getting married in Edinburgh and New Delhi, probably in that order. Beyond this I know very little, except that there will be food, music and dancing involved. Those that know, thank you all for your lovely messages of congratulation; the Caped Crusader has told everyone at work so people stop me in the corridor to talk about it, and I am overcome by everyone and their love and kindness.

I rather think I've failed to congratulate even Shim properly - I think I hit "like" on Facebook, but that hardly counts as a proper congratulations, does it?

My old etiquette books assure me one does not congratulate a newly engaged woman, one wishes her felicitations. I intend to do that, and if you don't find it inappropriate, to congratulate you (both) as well. :)

[raven]

*laughs* You learn something new every day. :) Thank you very much for felicitations and congratulations both.

[marginaliana]

I only just saw this! How did I only see this now? This is wonderful! :D

Congratulations, future-Mrs.-Shim! Ooooh, or is it to be Shim-Raven? Raven-Shim? Sticking with Raven? Very important internetty things to consider, I'm sure you'll agree ;D

[raven]

heee! Thank you! I suspect it shall just be Raven still, both offline and on-, but you're right that these are weighty issues. :)
