The first Glitch wedding?

Yes, that's right. MixMasterG and I are getting married! Yes, in real life! We met playing Glitch sometime back in November, during a housewarming party for Mom4.5. I found an invitation on the ground near a housing block sign, and he was already on her friend list. I stopped by and after hanging out for 10 or so minutes, we all added each other as friends and I went on my merry (lone wolf) way.

After that, MixMasterG and I would have random chatz. One night we wound up having an awesome music-oriented discussion and the rest is history. Well, sort of. The rest means we chatted, texted, emailed, and talked on the phone nonstop for a month or so, he flew roughly 1500 miles to meet me back in January (on Friday the 13th), we realized we still loved each other even more in person, told our families we were getting married (that was fun), got my dress, booked a venue, and got the ring/proposal. Sort of backwards but it's all good.

The big day is October 21. I say all of this in the sort of faint hopes that the devs can tell us the precise date we met, because that would be truly awesome. :D I don't think anyone could retrieve all of our lost-to-the-ages Glitch chat conversations (sniff), but the knowing the meeting date would be wonderful.

Yay, now I finally posted this! It only took me seemingly forever to actually share it with you guys. :) There are not adequate, beautiful enough words in any language to communicate how grateful I am that I found my soulmate. So I'll just say: Thanks Glitch! <3

  • This is astoundingly similar to the way my wife (Coley) and I met and went on our path to get married. Except it wasn’t in Glitch (this was 2006) - but first through Blogger, then chats and email, phone calls, my flying 1900 miles to meet her and her family, then more constant communication and getting to know and love each other, then finally our engagement that summer.
     
    That’s not the most astounding part. Here it is: Our wedding anniversary is October 21.

    Congratulations!!!!

  • Pengwen,
    Congratulations and thank you for letting us share with you!   You're right - there are no words beautiful enough that express what choosing to life partner with the right person feels like.   I hope you both live long & happily. 
       May we all find such a feeling, and may we all be as grateful when we find it!

  • I didn't get a chance to say too much this morning when I posted.  Big congrats!  

    I sure hope that your reception music includes Prisencolinensinainciusol...even better if you wrap up your first dance to it with the entire wedding party dancing to it, and post videos!  Though it would be cool if you could work in the snappy groddle whistle music too...I so love that theme...

    Hmmm, wondering if the reception menu will include awesome stew and gurly drinks...you must keep us posted, especially if it ends up being somewhat of a Glitch themed wedding!! (((hugs)))  Blessings for all the best!

  • A word of unsolicited advice: I would try to keep the Glitchiness to a minimum at your wedding. This game may be how you met, but parents, grandparents, etc. probably won't understand it, and you don't want their memories of it to be all about "that weird computer game stuff."

    Like I said before, I first met my wife on Blogger - but we had no references to it, or blogging, or the internet at all in our wedding, and five-plus years later, all anyone remembers is that great day of our union - the unexpectedly profound words of three preachers, the ringbearer swinging around the ring pillow, the cake knife breaking in mid-cut, etc.

    (Plus, neither of us really blog anymore, so there are no awkward questions about it now. "Hey, are you guys still the bloggers?")

  • There is nothing better than meeting your soulmate when and where you probably were least likely to expect it.

    I also love that you conversations started around music (it's usually how I test the likelihood of a friendship/relationship as well).

    Cheers, I wish you nothing but joy and happiness, and that when life's obstacles arise that you support and take care of each other.

  • @dm: your remarks bolster the argument for a fabulous in game celebration where all can indulge in overwhelming Glitchieness to hearts' content. Hint hint : glitch reception would be a blast--we can throw sparkly instead of rice. And there are plenty of cool outfits as is that we could all come up with something wedding-Ish. But new wedding swag would be very cool, no doubt about it. ;o)
