The two of them met in person this past weekend and on the above chat a bit before what was posted, he asked her to marry him and she said YES. They are both lovely people and I wish them much happiness.

I MISSED IT! :(

Retired retreaded Sysops are ALWAYS the LAST to know...

CHuck Not sure whether to wish the two of them all the best or to offer condolences all around.
