We’ve spent most evenings in the last week on the couch, hand-sewing the binding onto a quilt while watching Season One of Downton Abbey. This has been a lovely way to pass the time, though it hasn’t really lent itself to blogging.
But last night, between the cedar-planked salmon and the chocolate-raspberry parfait, GC got down on bended knee and asked me to marry him! We haven’t sorted out when or where or how – all we know for sure is we’re going to live happily ever after.
I really, really love that man. A lot.
Congratulations! You guys seem to be such good friends and that’s a good way to start a marriage.
A million congratulations, Zoom. I’m delighted.
Tears of joy! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! You two are a good match. Here’s to you making lovely memories for many years to come!
SQUEEEE! And congrats!

Awww! Congratulations to the whole family!! You’ve made my day!!

HOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY I love you and GC
Congratulations Zoom, GC is a lucky man. You two are truly really suited for each other. You have made GC a very happy man. I am so happy for you both.
Awwww!!!!! Congratulations! You two seem so well-suited to each other.
Congratulations!! That’s wonderful news!
Good on GC for asking. And good on you for accepting!
it’s hard to imagine being happier about the good news of someone I’ve never met… it’s been obvious from your blog how well suited you two are, and how much you enjoy your time together. Many, many happy years to you both.
Congratulations! How romantic!
How wonderfully romantic is a Valentine’s engagement! Congratulations to you both. Do you think your menagerie will notice any difference? LOL
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you!!!
Congratulations Zoom and GC. I am super happy for you both and the rest of the furry and feathered gang!
GC is a keeper. And so are you. I love you guys a lot
Lovely news!!!
So happy.
I am so happy for the both of you! Someone early said, that you seem like such good friends and isn’t that a beautiful way to start a life together.
Ditto what Daphne said. I’m all teared up with happy for you. Congratulations!!
Congratulations to both of you!
One of my favourite recipes is the ultra-choco flan (a whole box of semi-sweet cubes!) with a slurry of rasberry sauce to be ladled on as needed. Hard to beat that combo!
Oh yeah, right. Well done both of you with the question/answer session.
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you both…and your furry and feathered friends
.
Woohoo! Congratulations!!!
Awww. This made me a little weepy. In a good way. Congatulations to you both. Well, to all of you, really. Furry, feathered and/or otherwise pelted.
Congratulations to both of you! (And ditto what Daphne said.)
Thanks everyone for all your congratulations, best wishes and chocolate flan recipes! It actually feels surprisingly different being engaged than being in love but not engaged. I don’t know why that is, but I like it.
The animals are mostly pretty enthusiastic about the engagement – especially Simon, who LOVES the ring.
It is true that being engaged feels different..so does being married.
Congratulations!!!! I’m so happy for both of you and all animals you guys have. What a wonderful news!
Congratulations. Happiness is always a good news, and you are both an inspiration.
How wonderful! Congratulations.
Congratulations! Your readers look forward to the updates.
Yay! I’m so happy for you both! Much love and happiness to you, as always!
Yay!! Oh, I’m so excited! Yay love! Congratulations!!!
What lovely news – congratulations!!
Congratulations. I hope you’ll be very happy.
So happy for you — most sincere congratulations!
Congratulations!
