Well...who would have thought it.....
Some years ago i joined this forum and have enjoyed my time rather splendidly. Soon after that another person, a lass from germany, joined this forum that her younger brother had already joined.
Here we are now a few years later...if you dont know who i am talking about, i am talking about Mastertheif Conina, the single most important lady in my life.A couple of weeks ago, i plucked up courage and now we engaged to be married.
I still cant believe my luck...I thought i would let the people of this site, where we met, know of this turn of events.
From a most happy Ponder.












Re: Wow...
Congratulations!
I would go and find Sybill and Vimes' marriage and quote it...but I'm tired and my books have been cruelly taken out of armsreach
Besides...I'm sure you two are NOTHING like two fictional characters...!
As I said before, congratulations on the engagement, from me, IAA, Scar, and HOG...although they are posting more recently now.
Wow...makes me remember when I stumbled upon this outcast of a forum so long ago!
I remember the first chat session quite well...MAGIC STARS, and THE FENCE predominated...Why am I using so many ellipsis? Just goes to show, theres no fan community nicer than a Discworld fan community!
Congrats again!

Ponder....
Well, if that didn't deserve a Kudo, I don't know what does
Congratulations, mate, also to MC!
By the way: Ponder Stibbons will be the first wizard ever to get married. I wonder what the Archchancelor has to say about this new and very modern idea?
You mentioned your time in here, and that rang a bell somewhere. I checked old e-mails and stuff, and yes I was right: as of january 4th I'm in my sixth Thudgame year.
Wow, five years ago already. Time flies when you're having fun!!
But that's beside the point. The first International Thudgame marriage! Heheheheh, Wow... indeed. One last thought, though: Don't Mention the War!*

Re: Wow...
There's a small part of me that finds it hard to know where to file this in my head - it's still convinced that we're all too young for any of us to get married. It's got this strange idea that marriage is something you do when you've settled down and are becoming an upright, respectable member of society (and you'd better not do that, cos I'd never forgive you
)
The rest of me is just really happy for you both, and wants to send lots and lots of

With much love

Re: Wow...
congratulations again and massive hugs to both of you!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy for you! well, ......and to know that the start of your relationship was one of the reasons i joined (ratty told me about it and i was curious what would come of it) and then getting to know you and meeting you and.... and.... and.... now i am the happiest (adopted) mum ever!
@ scrubby: marriage doesn't necessarily make you respectable
so i don't think ponder and mc are in any danger

Dear Ponder, dear MC
It is wonderful to hear this great news. I'll be awaiting the details of gatherings and feasts. Oh well, this puts me probably right into the drawer of a selfish little .... But anyways, I do belong to the beggars guild over all. Nonetheless, it is of course also where everything becomes official. Therefore:
I wish you all the best for your (now official) future together. May the birds fly with you on your path paved with roses (petals only for preference) and keep all the badies off your track with a small opening for the sun to always be on your side.

awww thankyou! that is very sweet.
As for the badies thing, we both have numerous pointy weapons and body armour, so we should be ok there
