Not really. As both Ix and Potassium seem to have really acquired the forum culture, proposing on the forum isn't that surprising. Besides, that forum is the place where they met each other for the first time, and where there love grew.
All this business thanks to Internet is strange to me too, but I think that if they love it, they should do it.

What alva said. You're never too young to screw up the rest of your life. If the two of you are careful and smart about this, you may beat the odds and grow to old age together. Too many young-adult marriages end in divorce because the lovers blindly rushed into it.

Congrats Ixnay

Congratulations ixnay.

I suppose I find it a bit weird that you would ask someone to marry you over the internet, but I guess it works for you guys and exposes me as the old curmudgeon I really am.

And it is certainly much more tasteful than having the question plastered over a zeppelin at a football match.

Well, it's a little bit more than just asking over the internet... he did write a poem and all.

I want the one I marry to have creative faculties above the first grade level, thank you very much.
The core message is good, and true to life (I'm thinking mainly of the second line here), but the verbage does not live up to the promise of the message.
Don't mess with me bud, I'm majoring in English with a concentration in creative writing.

Then you and Ag would make a perfect couple, what with your English degree and his Philosophy one. You guys should enjoy your lack of a future together.

Thanks for all the well wishes, everyone.

I was originally going to propose when I returned to SD in a couple weeks for the SD Comic Convention. Since I got that out of the way, when I'm down there we're going to pick out rings and get everything sorted out. That's also when I'm going to let my parents know about all of this.

And we're trying not to rush into this; we're waiting until I graduate from college at the very least to actually get married, which will be about 2 years from now.

Wise move. 2 years is a good time to know whether the couple can continue to click after a long-lasting relationship.

Congratulations from another side of the world!



Even though you said in the original post that you're now engaged, I was kind of excited when I read the other forum 'say yes, say yes!'.. And she did.

Some generations say to their grandchildren 'I met your mom at WWII in France/Belgium/just before I was shipped/etc etc'. Times have changed. Post pics! Though I remember vaguely seeing some pictures of you and her in some apartment and she was pretty, so
I hope your love will outlast hardships of life and that you have a happy life together.

i saw a proposal (which was accepted) on planetarion IRC before, so i'm not that surprised someone would propose like this.

anyway congrats dude, enjoy the next two years and i hope you're both very happy together

Congrats Ixnay!

Wise move to wait until you graduate (and presumably get a job) before actually getting hitched. Clearly you two have got your heads screwed on straight about this.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
