Congratulations Sam and Susie!

Yesterday my little/big brother, the one who followed me/preceded me across the Atlantic to Britain and then ended up staying there and selling his soul to the queen's empire, got engaged! It's been a long time coming, Sammy. Three cheers for the happy couple, and best of luck during your engagement!

The intrepid couple, dashing through the Mourne mountains on their engagement day

Engagement/wedding planning is a funny thing; it can produce really stressful times, but only because there seems to be this perspectival warp in the fabric of the universe that causes people to lose sight of what really matters. All that really matters is that you love each other, and that you're making this really big, amazing commitment to love each other for ever. So here's to you two - wishing you all the happiness that is humanly possible, and more. Slàinte Mhath!

    You know, once upon a time, Ben I. was a militant carnivore who married a vegetarian. Look what happened to him. Hmmmm . . .

    I think she's saying that Sam could potentially become a vegetarian now.

    Ben and Julie - you're going to really love Susie! She's kind and loving and easy to talk to. And she loves to garden - so you know she HAS to be amazingly awesome!!

    Can't believe I only saw this NOW. Thanks, Ben (and everyone)!

    I think the whole vegetarian suggestion is rather unlikely. Possibly because I'm NOT a militant carnivore...

    Did I know that Susie was a vegger?
