52 Card Project 2022: Week 40: Engaged!

So, I have big, happy news:

Fiona is engaged!!!


I knew that this has been in the works for a while--they told me when they got the rings together, a couple of weeks ago. They chose puzzle rings, from a vendor at the Renaissance Festival (Fiona's has a diamond, and Alona's is plain).

"So are you officially engaged now?" I asked Fiona.

"I know Alona is scheming," she replied.

Her partner Alona proposed this past Sunday evening on her (Alona's) birthday. I highly approved of the results of Alona's scheming: it was the most adorable fannish proposal ever. Alona commissioned a hoodie for Fiona (Fiona LOVES hoodies) with the AO3 tags that apply to their relationship. Fiona, of course, said yes! (Alona got the same hoodie for herself, so they can match. Adorable.)

Their collective name for themselves is "the Onas." More adorableness.

I love my new daughter-in-law to be, and I am absolutely convinced that Rob would have loved her, too (unfortunately, he never had the opportunity to meet her).

Image description: Bottom center, headshot of two smiling women (Fiona, left, Alona right) facing the camera, heads tilted toward one another. Center: Alona (left) and Fiona (right) sit facing each other, holding hands. Alona looks a little nervous and Fiona is smiling [this is the actual proposal. Thanks to Drew for recording it for posterity]. Between their heads is a close-up of a diamond puzzle ring on a hand. Top center: white lowercase letters on a red background read "u-haul lesbians, mutual pining, and they were roommates, fake dating, there was only one bed, slow burn, idiots to wives."

Engaged!

40 Engaged

I'm so happy to read about the details! Congratulations again to both of them - and to their cute couple name, too! (Love the puzzle rings, btw - gorgeous.)

Happy wedding planning to all!
