    Default Taking the Plunge

    Well everyone, I have an announcement to make.




    As of tonight, Ajax is officially engaged to be married. I proposed to the girl I've
    been dating for almost a year, and with whom I'd been close friends for about
    two years prior to that, and she accepted. We're planning to have our
    ceremony June 4, just after school lets out, at the Mormon temple in Manti,
    Utah. I'm a little scared, a little nervous, very excited, and ecstatically in love.













    Thank you all for your friendship. I'll still be around!

    Ajax

    I felicitate you. I wouldn't recommend having a big wedding, though: far better to save the money and do it small.... you can then give the money you were possibly planning to spend on a bigger wedding to me >:)

    Congratulations, Ajax. May it bring many happy moments for the both of you.

    Not to worry you or anything but is that fear in her eyes or just uneasyness when facing a camera?

    I think she looks somewhat shy but that also makes me think she is a very nice person.

    Congratulations! I've been engaged for longer than you two have been dating, and since we don't even have a date set I'll be outlasting you to the altar. I feel like Johnston facing Sherman, and I fear the outcome will be the same.

    Thank you for the warm feelings, everyone! Yes, she is quite shy (we're both introverts), but she's the kindest and most principled person I know. I'll let you know how things go in June (well, I'll post when I get a chance anyhow--I imagine that month will be fairly hectic).
