Gettin’ hitched in Tinnersee!

August 9th, 2009 by Reinder

Allright, this post is the big announcement I've been promising to make since I came back from the US on Monday. It took a bit longer because I came home with a cold on top of my jetlag, AND I had to get straight back to work the next day. It's taken me this long to get on top of things.

I'll keep it brief: Aggie and I are getting married! I've been sitting on that announcement for a long time; I asked Aggie back in March. Back then, though, we didn't have a date set yet. We do now, so the big news is that Aggie and I are getting married in a historic location in middle Tennessee on May 29, 2010.

Back in March, just the act of asking her was a big phase shift in our relationship and my feelings about committing myself. Things just fell into place emotionally. But it didn't have any immediate practical influence. That's going to change, because the marriage means I'm going to move to the United States, and that's a pretty big, scary, complicated move to make.

But that's something to write about another day. Today, I'm just happy to let everyone know what's going on in our lives and that we're planning to be together for a long, long time.
