I second the congrats, ProfStokes!  And now for the most important question regarding your upcoming nuptials:  are you going to have cake?

CONGRATS PS.  Good luck in your future life.
If you like DS and want to have a fun  on a Facebook page that is open to all forms of DS and doesn't allow childish behavior like some groups; come on over to DIAESD! You do have to ask to be invited and I will approve you.

I wish you the best, ProfStokes. May your marriage turn out infinitely better than any DS character's.

Wow congrats ProfStokes!  When is the big day?  I can't believe you didn't tell me!

Wow!  Thank you all!  [blshy] I'm very touched by your support and well-wishes. 

However, I'm afraid the gun has been jumped just a bit.  While bananabry and I would love to spend the rest of our lives together, right now there is no formal engagement.  I'm still trying to finish school, and both of us are trying to scrape by financially.  It will likely be a couple of years yet before we can seriously think about setting a date.  Nevertheless, when that day comes, David (who is even sweeter in person than in his posts) has graciously promised that he will perform our ceremony.

I really must thank you, David,  [wavey] for setting the wheels in motion here.  Your enthusiasm and the kind wishes of everyone who has replied thus far have inspired me to work even harder to make my wedding more than just a dream.

Since Dark Shadows has played such a huge role in my adult life, and since bananabry and I were brought together in part because of DS (long story), I think a DS Fest would be a most fitting place for the occasion.  When that happy day finally arrives, I hope that all of you will be able to share it with us [ghost_grin]  [ghost_grin] (with cake and cheese and sherry aplenty ;)).

Thanks again!
ProfStokes

I read in BIG LOU about a lot of couples being brought together by DS I find that simply extraordinary.  I love it!!

Yipes!
Hope I didn't jump the gun with my post!

But I think doing the ceremony at a future LA Fest is a wonderful idea, & that's what we had talked about over the weekend.

They are truly a lovely couple~~when you're around them, the love they share fills the whole room!
It's a beautiful thing to see!

David,

You're not jumping the gun: if it weren't for this poopy economy, I'd marry ProfStokes tomorrow (today)(now).  She is simply the best person I have ever met: kind, patient, understanding, smart, clever, charming, and as everyone knows: absolutely besutiful.

She is a rarity in this world: a truly good Human.  I am honored to know her at all.  I'm very lucky to be her man.

And, you, David, are great; I'm so glad we all met last weekend at that wonderful Fest.  I wish it could go on all the time.

Aw, shucks!
Why can't a great guy like bananabry be gay?

But truly, those two wonderful, beautiful people belong together.
We need more love like theirs in the world!

I second that David.......I hear there are lots of gay men in fandom....but are they husband material???

There was one guy I flirted with all day Sat/Sun.
Couldn't get a thing out of him.
But at least I got a kiss out of Bananabry!
And a HOT kiss it was!
