There is a Longer Version
There is a longer version of this story, and if you want to hear it, I'll tell you in person. This is the medium version:
So... I've been going out with B for just about exactly a year now. A few weeks ago she ceased being my girlfriend and started the wonderful adventure of being my fiance. This is a weird thing for me. Because I'm surprised I found someone who would voluntarily spend the rest of their life with me. ... ... or, at least, someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, etc, etc... So. We got engaged. After me getting all sorts of shit about, "When are you going to get the ring?" "Do you have a plan?" "My finger is cold and lonely." Seriously, the whole time... the ring was hanging on our dog's collar. It was ridiculous.
Anyways, I can't really say how excited I am or how much I'm dreading the various wedding planning activities I know will be coming up. I do hope that it'll be as easy as she thinks it's going to be, but... frankly, I'm doubting it'll be quite so stress free. We're hoping to get it all together and all that in about a year, so hopefully you'll come. If... you know, you get invited to what will no doubt become known far and wide as the social event of 2008.
