OMG! JONATHAN PROPOSED!!!!!!!!!

And I said yes, of course. It's so amazing. I was totally surprised. I had no clue it was coming. I mean, I knew it was coming one day, espically after we got sort of handfasted on Beltane, but I totally didn't know it was happening today.

We were at the NY Ren Faire and there's this bridge called the Kissing Bridge. We decided that it would be good to take pictures there. So we stand on the bridge and then Jonathan gets this mischievious look on his face and clears his throat in the way that I know something big is coming. He said, "My lady Allison, whilst thou may not be of noble birth, as thy family name implies, thou art more dear to me than anything else, and the love we share is a most noble thing." Then he dropped down onto one knee and said, "By that love, and this ring that symbolized the love of thy parents, wouldst thou consent to be my wife and personal queen?" I think I squealled a bunch and then said, "Yes!"

I'm so happy, I still can't believe it. Pictures of the whole thing and the ring (which was my mother's) to follow.

one more addition:

I told my adorable friend Marnie the news because i had to share with someone, and she sends heartfelt congratulations, which even though she doesn't actually know you really are meant from the bottom of her heart because she's just that kind of a person.

Congratulations!

Actually, that's to the lovely newly proposed to Allison.... But Elizabeth told just a few more people than Marnie (http://www.livejournal.com/users/hermionesviolin/254007.html) and I'm sure we'll all be wishing you a heartfelt and hearty congratulations and three (hundred) cheers!

Allison--your mother called with the good news last week, but I only learned about your website tonight. Great pictures. And we're so happy for you! I'm hoping to see your mother over Veteran's Day weekend, I'll be spending the time around then (week before and days after) in Houston, and would drive to NOLA. Miss the place. Love to you!

Congratulations from a stranger! Put up with the normal crap, fight for what you love, and get ready for the insanity with someone by your side. Best of fortune unto you both.
