so as most of us know we have a newly engaged couple on VB and well that means it is party time.

since we can not have a real engagement party, i thought we could have an engagement party thread. a place where we can talk about all the things related to couples, marriage and family. people can give tid-bits of advice, a toast or simply have fun here.

so i will start out by telling my version of how this all happened..

once upon a time there was a vast vegan community called vegweb. while hanging out one evening i noticed a conversation going on that seemed a little like a conspriacy. i thought this could be a fun game to play, so i sent Tri a vegmail to ask if he would be interested in doing this with me. tri liked the idea as well, so we began working out the game through vegmail and have talked nearly daily since.

during a conversation a while later i mentioned he needed a nice vegan girlfriend and then wondered if he would date non vegan girls and he said he had never thought about it, so of course i asked how would you feel about kissing a girl with steak breath.. (LOL) i will not share his response to that question. so through out the evening i teased him about the different females on the board and we wondered if there was one there for him. i was convinced she was there. we just needed to find her. the next evening i vegmailed to say hello and had asked what he had been up too and he said i have been talking (vegmail) to a really sweet vegan girl. i vegmailed back and asked "when is the wedding".

and months later they are engaged.

well that is the doorbell so i need to see who else has arrived

 

[triumvir]

I guess I should show up

I like this idea

 

[oneness]

YEA! the groom-to-be has arrived.. hmmmm now where is the bride-to-be.. oh of course she has to be fashionable late

well tri i guess we can munch on some vegan goodies while we wait for others. how about we start with some yummy hummus and pita

 

[triumvir]

If we bring out the food, others will be sure to arrive

 

[oneness]

exactly

i am sure the smell of all those wonderful vegan treats over there will get this party started.. shewolf is bound to arrive soon

 

[triumvir]

I was thinking the same thing. She is probably here already. Shewolf is invisible you know. We'll notice her when the food disapears.

 

[triumvir]

This party needs soem excitment. I seem to be the only one here

 

[triumvir]

*triumvir looks around and notices nobody is coming*

Maybe if I start baking more pita bread, people will come.

 

[triumvir]

*triumvir gets out the whole wheat flour, yeast, turbinado sugar, flax and sea salt. He preheats the oven to 500 degrees and puts the yeast and sugar in the water to rise*

 

[triumvir]

*triumvir mixes the rest of the ingredients together and kneads the dough*

 

[triumvir]

*knead knead knead*

more people at this party we need

 

[triumvir]

*triumvir covers the dough with oil and then a tea towel and leaves it on the stove to rise. Since nobody else is here, he takes a nap*

 

[triumvir]

* a smoke detector goes off waking triumvir up*

that always happens when I preheat the oven to 500 degrees

now back to my peaceful nap

 

[shewolf]

Where's the felafel? I already ate everything else that was ready!

Hey, so everyone's sleeping now? Well, I can curl up in the corner till everyone else arrives...

 

[triumvir]

I'm awake from my nap now. I can make falafel

 

[Oatmeal]

*oatmeal arrives hauling a large wheelbarrow full of fresh fruit in front of him*

Hi everyone! Look at all the fruit I brought. (And what will YOU guys eat?

)

 

[triumvir]

We're having falafel

Be careful of shewolf, she is invisible and might steal your fruit

 

[Oatmeal]

Hmm. I could have sworn there was a large mango sitting on the top of the pile, before I turned away for a second...

Maybe I trade some fruit for a few falafel balls!

 

[triumvir]

that sounds like a good trade

 

[shewolf]

Teehee, I had to run away so I didn't steal anymore food... anyways, I'll be back later on.
