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

  • Congratulations!

    My hubby and I have been together almost 10 years, so you can tell anyone who says couples that meet online don't last to shove it.
    (Yes, someone will tell you that if they haven't already.)

    Here's to a long and happy life together!

  • You should put Glitch time on your wedding cake.

    Just to irritate your wedding guests. ;)

  • congrats! i met my bf through another site (we forgot about upon the arrival of glitch-your clue is its aol or the 00's) with a similar story and got to know his 15 year old son through glitch. Its really such a wonderful stressless way to get to know someone. lull in convo? go mine together. pick up conversation later.          Now we just need to be able to throw rice or blow bubbles at you two instead of dropping them at your feet. but i will make do with dropping if need be. Will you become pengMasterG and MixMasterWen? when Tony Twinkle and I marry I plan to take his surname of twinkle here. And meeting online is awesome. I always thought the idea of soul mates needing to be in a 30 mile radius as downright lunacy.

    tony twinkle and i met 3 years ago on facebook, aka the new aol. he flew 1,100 miles to meet me. i moved 1,100 miles for him. we are happy as could possibly be. So huzzah for finding awesome people (/me raises pumpkin ale) and huzzah for maybe paving the glitchy way for us other glitch lovebirds.

  • Congratulations!

    I met my partner of almost 7 years on the internets.

    In some ways I think meeting on the internet is more like an old fashioned courtship. If you think about it, there is a lot to be said for getting to know each other first without the distraction of physical chemistry, that can get confused with love and lead to all sorts of disasters. If you click mentally then that bodes so well for a long lasting relationship. If you then meet in person and the spark is there, you are golden.

    Anyway, good luck to you guys, what a wonderful story :)

  • Wow! You guys are amazing. I am digging through all of these comments, not completely done reading them yet. I wanted to go ahead and say thanks for so much love and support! *cuddlesquish*

    @Myles!: The timestamp seriously made my morning. I am grinning from ear to ear!

  • May love and laughter light your days,
    and warm your heart and home.
    May good and faithful friends be yours,
    wherever you may roam.
    May peace and plenty bless your world
    with joy that long endures.
    May all life's passing seasons
    bring the best to you and yours!

    Cheers to you both! [pops cork on champagne bottle]

  • Congratulations! Maybe there could be an in-Glitch wedding ceremony too? You know, somewhere special to you two. You could have your Glitchen maid-of-honor, best man, etc and then we could all throw/drop rice everywhere! I bet Stoot would make a great wedding planner. . .
    Posted 8 months ago by Gordon Lughsen Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Great idea Gordon, except maybe Stoot has a thing or two to be getting on with at the moment ;-)

    Maybe we could all be able to throw rice for the day though, would be fun to 'rice' the happy couple everywhere they go.

    I went to the RL wedding of friends who met in Second Life. Funny thing was during the speech, the parents mentioned the 3D world where they met but you could tell most of the people didn't get what it was about :)
    In the stats, today we spend 10 hours per week as avatars in various games, so it's normal it sometimes ends as very pretty stories.
    @Glitch Devs and designers, they need a wedding outfit!

  • Wow.  What an overwhelming, wonderful response!  We are so happy and grateful to have found each other and such a special online community.  

    When we met we were actually both seeking independent, happy solitude.  As we became friends, shared words, photos and music, somehow our walls quickly dissolved and we were swept off our feet by something totally out of our control.  

    I am so lucky to have found her.  

    Just a tiny taste of the music that we listened to while playing and that means so much to us:

    Lana Del Rey: Video Games
    http://hypem.com/track/1f78h

    EBTG: Before Today
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nei8tPxN_l4

    High Contrast: Ghost of Jungle Past
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvmnYId1ckI

    Proem: Winter Delerium

    Thank you all for your warm wishes! <3
