NationStates Jolt Archive

Well I know I haven't posted on here in a while and neither has the nation of Garlands... but I just thought I'd better tell the old timers still here some big news.
Garlands and I are getting married on 7th July 2007!
The nation of Ikitiok is going to be bridesmaid and the nation of Miranda is to be best man!
This is not a hoax! LOL :D Though it does sound like one!
Garlands and I met on the North Pacific board over 2 years ago, got to know each other and met up... moved in together, bought a house, got rabbits, a dog and some fish and now we're planning the wedding! :D
Garlands already knew Miranda IRL and we met up with Ikitiok early last year and have been great friends ever since... as you could tell from Iki and Pet's Coffee Shop, many of us developed real friendships on here.
A big thank you to Max Barry... If you're anywhere near Nottingham in 2 years time, you can come to the wedding! :D
Of course, it's not just ns'ers who're involved in the wedding, it's just so weird that we have 2 people who have nations who are involved in the whole thing!
So Lord Garlands and Queen Delphinum XVIII are finally getting hitched!

Lol, another one! Well I recognise all those names. Hope it's a good day!

Thanks CE, glad to see you're still here! :D

Congratulations, sweetheart! Tell Iki I said hi.

Thanks CE, glad to see you're still here! :D

Yeah, it's good to be still here. Although a lot has changed, the members for one have become far ruder....although perhaps I'm being stuffy and thinking they should all bow down to the reputation that preceeds me lol.

7th July 2007!

7/7/2007.

Numerological procrastinators?

I would give you a fluffle but your hubby to be will disapprove.

Congrats! :)

LMAO! Yes, minions, bow down to us old folks! :D
The reason I stopped posting mainly was the number of rude people... plus alot of my friends have left. I know some are on other forums, but the NS forum just didn't seem the same. Oh the old days! :D
Thank you Sdaeriji... I'll text her just now for you! :)

LOL I know, we didn't realise until we looked on the calendar that it was 7/7/07... I don't know whether it's a good thing or not... it's the weekend after our 4th anniversary. :)
LOL @ LP :D Thank you!

Where is the wedding taking place?

We haven't got the venue yet, but it'll be somewhere in Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire... we hope in a country house or hotel... We're not religious, so it'd be hypocritical to get married in a church. I'm thinking Thoresby Hall would be nice... but we'll see! :D
*goes off to flick through bridal magazines*

yay! *dances* :fluffle:

....... I wasn't invited? :(

In fact I think I must of fallen out the loop.

Will have to check with Gaspode if she knows.

Okay, I've informed some more of the old coffee shop regulars.

(If Delph returns and sees this that is!)

CONGRATULATIONS!:D:D:D

Damn. Everyone's getting married. Maybe I should start dating too. :(

Hehe, I won't pass comment on Nottingham or Derby. (Leicester boy here ;))


Congratulations to both of you, this is just proof that you don't need to leave your computer to get a social life, but can do just as well by your computer. I think you're the fourth or fifth NS couple to get married :p
(that includes one guy who asked someone to marry him by posting a thread in General :s)

LMAO! Screegor, you will be invited! It's not ettiquetty to send out invites more than 6 months before hand! :D I expect Gaspode, Petworthia, Jet Li, Monkey Kitten and Neon Lights will be on the guest list too! ;) *hopes she hasn't missed anyone out*

Thank you everyone! Garlands was quite disappointed when I told him we weren't the first! LOL :D *goes off to nag him about not keeping his nation alive* ;)

:p
May be more marrages before as 2007 is a long way off.

I like it how I will be invited,
and you only expect the others will be :)
MAkes me feel very special!

I can think of another two.
Hans something and Silvercities, and Big Jim P and Roan something.

Hans Black is a long way off though.
And haven't seen/heard from him or silver for a long time now,

*grumbles to herself*

See? See what you made me do, Delph? You've made me create a new nation when i thought i'd kicked the habit :mad:

Anyway, congratulations doll! :fluffle:

Hans Black is a long way off though.
And haven't seen/heard from him or silver for a long time now,

I have, i know where they hang out now. and they're very well.

:D Well okay, we were planning on a small wedding, but so far we've got over 60 guests... so you're all coming!
I didn't know Hans and Silver had got married! When did that happen?! I knew they were engaged mind you!
Aye, a few more will probably tie the knot before we do. We're giving ourselves 2 years to prepare and save up! I suppose I'll have to get a job now! :0S LOL

Big Jim P and Roan something.

Yup, they got married on Saturday just past.

hiya! :) you're still here.

i don't think they are quite married yet, no.

so where are you going to have it?

Why 777 is it a bit less devil like?

:D Well okay, we were planning on a small wedding, but so far we've got over 60 guests... so you're all coming!
Aaah, English weddings amuse me.
My brother did a small wedding, only 400 people came. My cousin on the other hand, did quite a big wedding with 650. :p

Anyway who is Gaspodania?

I don't recognise them at all :p

*faints* Gaspode! :D So glad to see you honey!
We'll be up in August if you fancy a few pints in a pub somewhere? ;)
We've not decided on a venue yet, but we like this place... http://www.warnerholidaysonline.co.uk/weddings_thoresby_hall.php

But we're going to go round Newstead Abbey(Lord Byron's old haunt) and a few other places this weekend to see... :D

But a wedding of 60 here probably costs more than a wedding of 1000 there?

Screegor, I don't know any of you yet I'm still posting here :D

Thats 100000 gate crashers??

I wouldn't be too sure. Depends where you do it. Israel has some stunning weding venues.

Screegor, I don't know any of you yet I'm still posting here :D

I was wondering, then wondering if you were in a disguise I couldn't remember of someone of a former life, from a former nation, from the former coffee shop.

I'm too suspicious.

Screegor, I don't know any of you yet I'm still posting here :D

ah, he's just trying to wind me up :mp5:

I take it I get one of these?

''10 luxurious Royale rooms, which are superbly appointed, with a four-poster bed and exquisitely decorated offering a unique character and ambiance. ''

ah, he's just trying to wind me up :mp5:

*thinks he might possibly know who it is*

We didn't realise until afterwards that it was 777... It's the weekend after our 4th anniversary.
See, this is like the old days... hundreds of posts all very quickly! LOL Open a coffee shop!!
I ain't English... and Dan is going to be wearing heather on his lapel whether he likes it or not... I'll have some MacGregor tartan in there somewhere. ;)
I don't want hundreds of people I don't know there... I'm not paying for half the town to eat dinner! LOL Typical Scotswoman that I am! :P

hmmmmm sounds like you might need somone to share it with ;)

Hehehehe, five minutes down the road from me. Anyone else fancy gatecrashing, in the nicest possible way of course! <JOKE!>

Never met you but as one half of another relationship that started via the net I wish you all the best :)

hmmmmm sounds like you might need somone to share it with ;)

I hear Iki is going too :p

so is Garlands going to wear a kilt?

LMAO! If you're paying for it, you can have it Screegor! It beats a futon in my rabbit room eh?! ;)
One of the dresses I like... http://www.sassiholford.co.uk/gowns/front/nadia.htm
hey and I didn't say it was definate... just one of the places we like! ;) :D
I'm sure no-one's interested in turning up at my wedding... The eunuchs have the day off... National holiday for Delphinum! :D

I hear Iki is going too :p

cool, i can share with her then :cool:

You can't make him wear anything Scottish as he isn't.

It works both ways surely?

not really, because a wedding is traditionally at the bride's home, so she makes the rules!

cool, i can share with her then :cool:

Well that leaves Neon :p

Congrats :)

Traditionally the bride pays for the whole wedding.....

LOL Thank you Moumou... but you ain't getting a free dinner that easily! :D

*is now thinking of having body guards like a real Queen*

Yup, Iki is going to be there... now I have 2 ginger bridesmaids and 2 brunette/blondish... hmmm... have to choose the colours carefully!
Garlands is not wearing a kilt... My dad refuses to wear one... so does my brother... so only my Granddad and guests will wear them I think...
Mmmm Garlands in a tail coat! :D

Well that leaves Neon :p

good point, we can't leave her out. i'm sure Iki and I can find room for a third. :cool:

I'm quite sure we'd all be able to sleep in one bed looking at the bedroom pictures!! :D

Who would have thought it, congratulations to the happy nations/couple.

I'm quite sure we'd all be able to sleep in one bed looking at the bedroom pictures!! :D

Sounds a good idea to me
:cool:

Yes! I just got an hour meeting with someone I've been trying to get an hour meeting with for 2 years!

LOL Thank you Moumou... but you ain't getting a free dinner that easily! :D

Ahhh, time for the James Bond style covert infiltration then.

Looks more like a birthday suit to me :shock:

LOL! Oops!! :D

I thought everyone had gone.

I know I did for a bit, but was called away!

Anyway Delph hows life otherwise?

*pours a coffee*

Yet another NS wedding!

Celeste and I had better hurry up then :p

Congrats Delphi! Give a hug to all the old timers from me :)
I know you two will be very happy :D

Don't know why but suddenly getting scared of this thread.

I'm off.

I don't know any of you, but I thought I'd just congratulate you regardless. Well done to both of you

Don't know why but suddenly getting scared of this thread.

I'm off.
Don't you like me anymore, Scree? :(

Don't you like me anymore, Scree? :(

It wasn't you so much,

more the adding up of dates and lengths of time people had been together.

Then the fact hit me in the head that Delph and Garlands can't of been together much longer than me and another former player.

Then I got scared and ran off.

LOL Screegor... hmmm... well we met on 4th July 2003... were you and the other forumer together from around then? Wasn't it a bit later than that? Coz we met you in April 2004... when Garlands was ill mind...
Thank you everyone for your kind wishes! :D

These things happen...

~man hugs~

And Celeste and I aren't together :p

Oh and everything else is fine... 'cept for the witch next door... next door the other way is selling hers for £120k, so we'll have made £35k in a year if we sell ours for that... hmmm... seriously thinking about it! :D
How about you?

Ahh thats good - I forget you met us about same time as we started started going out.

Stammering now!

Too much work, too little time, and approaching end of my funding.

But I think I've made a tidy profit on my house too. Not sure how much but will be getting a valuation soon.

Think its my record in fact I have 19 excel worksheets and 12 sigmaplot worksheets all open at the mo!!

LOL We've got a year more, so don't worry too much! ;)
Max Barry should be setting up a dating service with the success rate here! LOL Well other than some 'incidents' people we know have had with a certain forumer beginning with B.

There's no way you COULD'NT have made a tidy profit on your house!! You going to buy a stately home somewhere now? :P

Work?! *hides*

A flat at the end of the road is selling for what I paid for my house two years ago.

Well most of the success started in the coffee shop - which was permenatly closed. And I don't think anyone in there was looking for anyone.

Or was it just me? And Jet I suppose.

Anyway must get some lunch.

Nice bacon sandwich in fact!

Later.

No, I don't think anyone was looking for anyone... just passing time during work hours... :D by flirting and being naughty! :P

Honey, when you asked me to be bridesmaid I didn't realise there was the added incentive of sharing a bed with Gasp & Neon ;)

Can't wait anyway :)

Sharing a bed with....?

Bah! I want to be a bridesmaid too!

Congratulations Delph!

Congrats guys :)


I recognise all the names, but never really knew them too well. I remember Iki's coffee shop though.

I'm infamous!

Weee *tosses confetti and various other marriage related items*

Shame, i can't sneak in behind Iki :( , oh well i'll just bug her for all the details.

Best of luck to the both of you :)

*goes off to flick through bridal magazines*

Oh, it's going to be in the UK! Wicked! I was thinking it was going to be in America.

LOL Iki... well I thought you and Gaspode would feel more at home then! ;)
Thanks everyone! :) It's going to be an experience if nothing else with all these NS'ers and my family! :D

So Lord Garlands and Queen Delphinum XVIII are finally getting hitched!


Congratulations to the pair of you!! :)

congratulations!

best wishes, you two.

Wow. Looking at the names in this thread is like Old Home Week.

Best of luck to you and Garlands, Delph. :)

Congratulations! :)

Bit late but eh... CONGRATULATIONS!

Bit late but eh... CONGRATULATIONS!

Nothing changes.

*stabs jet with a stick*

Ahhh old times....

None of you recognize me in this incarnation, but I'd like to offer my most heartfelt condolences. These threads never fail to make me feel sad that I quit 'way back on '03 before getting to meet anyone (and back then I only posted about 20 times anyway... :(). And I might add that a marriage is invariably a sad occassion. I can't offer much comment.


(I know what you're going to say...and my answer is, it's a sad occassion because it reminds me that I'm wasting all my time posting on NS and not going out to meet people. :D )

LOL Thanks everyone! *smacks Jet on the bum with a whip* *hits Screegor with her tail* *gives Pet a little kiss on the cheek as she spins round*
*runs out the door*
