I'm a bit engaged

[lizziec]

Well, actually, very engaged :D Ben and I got officially engaged yesterday. Just so I can get this out of the way, no, we don't have a proper ring yet, only a tempory one (the one i got for my 18th birthday), the wedding won't be until the autumn after I graduate on the grounds that:

1. I want to graduate with my maiden surname on the certificate
   
2. I don't want the stress of arranging said wedding till I've finished my exams
   
3. It's not fair on ben to live with me when I'm studying for my finals ;)
   

For the nosier among you...ben asked me ;)

So yea, yesterday was very very manic. We told ben's parents, my mum and a couple of other people then went and changed the topic on irc so that people could find out faster. Sorry to those of you who didn't get the irl treatment, it wasn't intentional really but ben and I only have so many miles in our feet and we wanted people to know :)

Carmina Burana was most excellent :) Last bits of last movement were best :D

Seeing mamma and Phil was good. I got very drunk on champaign. I curse whichever person encouraged me by saying "you only get engaged once". Thank you to rah who gave me orange juice...I drank the whole carton eventually :)

Right...got to sort myself out for church now :D
