Five Years With Tomais

Today My Tomais and I celebrate our fifth anniversary as a couple. It's really strange to think about it because it doesn't really feel that long, more like a year or maybe two.

Credit for us still being a couple goes to Tomais' legendary patience and his well-controlled temper, not to mention his sweet and loving character and his need of a sometimes blunt companion who is ready to contact anyone to ask for rez-rights.

Still love you to bits, darling, would you please consider continuing with me another year?

O Tempora, O Mores!

In olden and I don't hesitate to call them better times, not that long ago really, it was customary for a suitor to pay a visit to the father of the intended bride or groom to ask for the beloved child's hand in marriage. During the visit the suitor would be asked to state his case and give provide proof of his good intentions, his suitability and his means to keep the beloved child in a manor to which it had become accustomed.

Those are now bygone days I am sad to say. Yesterday while I was hastily going through the latest updates on Facebook, after my hot and steamy shower and immediately before I hit the Egyptian linens that cover my stately fourposter bed, I - by pure chance, I swear - came across the announcement below.

You can of course imagine my complete and utter state of shock at seeing this news.

Add to this the fact that I had spoken to the two no less than twenty minutes earlier without being told a word about this news that they now flaunted for all the world to see.

Luckily for me and the two newlyweds, I was in communications with my royal consort at the time of this discovery, otherwise a troop of the Southern Charm palace guards would have been sent out to search for and apprehend the two and throw them into the dungeons beneath the palace - in separate cells, mind you - to stew until it suited my pleasure to speak to them, in a year or two.

However, my wiser and more sensible spouse convinced me that we must change with the times and accept the fact.

"Both the boys are old enough to know what they want and do as they wish", he told me and also reminded me of the fact that I had myself been rather hastily married to him not long ago. Although I told Tomais that was not at all the same thing, as neither he or I had fathers that could be approached  and that we had waited two months. I also added that both the newlyweds had personally made me a firm promise not to jump the guns.

"They are young", he said, "you must forgive them, lover. We will both send good thoughts to them and hope that everything will go well!" I realized of course, that Tomais advice was - as always - sound but told him I still needed to sleep on it to come to terms with it. Tomais agreed that that might be the best thing to do, considering my weakened state.

So today I, the Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm, prince of Cascade Falls, Sovereign Ruler of the Commonwealth of Southern Enchantment Region and Outer Territories and finally UN appointed Protector of the Solace Island and Mount Whitney sims in SecondLife, am here to tell you all the following.

From the bottom of my heart I congratulate Crown Prince Guyke, Prince of Paradijs, and Mr. Garrett Smith Esq., a Texan of no - as yet - known royal lineage, to their recent wedding. I also heartily welcome Garrett Smith into the family, where he shall be given a place at the main table at all formal state occasions. In due course he may, or may not, be given a suitable title.

The Elopement Party

When Tomais and I eloped in the early hours of New Years Day to get married we were badgered by family members and friends for having cheated them out of a tear filled ceremony and a wedding party.

As the first was exactly what we had wanted to avoid and the second was something we didn't mind a bit, Tomais and I decided to throw an elopement party for everyone to be able to share our happiness in being joined in marriage.

When we had decided to have a party, the next thing to decide was when to have it. We immediately received quite a few instructions on when not to throw it, because if we did someone could not be there. In the beginning we were pliable and kept putting it off, but finally we put our foot down and decided to set a date that suited the two of us.

We know of course that some of you will not be able to make it to this party, but that is bound to happen whatever date we decided on. Instead we would like you to know that this will definitely not be the last party we ever throw and that you will hopefully be able to come to all of the others!

WHY: Share and celebrate our happiness at being together
WHEN: Saturday March 8, 2014, at 1 PM - 3 PM
WHERE: The Lounge in the Sky at Southern Charm (SLurl)
WHAT TO WEAR: The theme is "A Night at the Movies", so come as your favorite movie characters
WITH: DJ Ryder Yowman and DJ Rylan Sirnah
WHO: Personal invitations are going to be sent out during the weekend at the latest, but you should also regard this as your invitation!

No gifts please, we are going to set up a donation box for a charity TBD.

Married Life

Being married agrees with me, except when my husband expects me to get up early in the mornings to fry his chicken wings for breakfast.

I get to massage my husbands aching muscles when he has been out shoveling snow in first life.
We have fun with family and friends using every possible vehicle known to man.

Flying with Wayne (and Holter)
Sledding with Dej
Then we have those wonderful times when we are alone together, sometimes trying to make babies.

Doc Is Balled & Chained

My friend Doc Spad, the former Chair of Second Pride, married in his first life yesterday afternoon. Doc himself informed us about the planned nuptials on his blog on Thursday; Doc Spad...a few thoughts: From my virtual world to Reality...

Who would have thought it, huh?

This free, unfettered bachelor that has been roaming around in SecondLife and crushed the hearts of so many wistful men is no more. Instead we now have a grown up, reliable and dependable married man with "a Volvo, a villa and a voff-voff", i.e. a dog. (Direct translation from a Swedish joke about what defines the pillar of Swedish community, a married man.)

My best wishes go to the amazing man who successfully bagged Doc (Do you happen to give lessons in that art, sir?). My warmest congratulations go to the two of you, may you have a long and wonderful life together!
