Oh a happy note

[sombrefan]

My sister got engaged today. Her boyfriend asked on a boat trip in Sardinia. And keeping in tradition with my family, he's American (from Portland of all places which re-affirms my opinion that it's the secret center of the world).

Also, he phoned my father last week to ask permission. Blimey! I didn't realise that still happened. Anyhow, it's all good news and I'm very pleased for the both of them.

Congratulations to them. And Jeff tried to ask my dad, but my cell phone wasn't up to date.

Portland is the secret center, but we also seem to be the bastard child of fandom.

Do I know this guy? Is he a Whedon fan?

Congrats to your sister.

Of course you do, silly. Did I offer you Torchwood this week? I'll burn it and bring it to Firefly next week.

Congratulations to them both. Are they going to be living in Portland or Ireland? And did they meet online like you and your wife, Simon?

Congratulations to them :)

And blokes should always ask the fathers permission before asking, its still the done thing *nod*

Congratulations to them both.

Although, I, personally, would take it a bit askance if someone asked my dad for permission. I'm a big enough girl to make that decision on my own.
