mc_mike: (a man completely in love)

Consider this me shouting from the rooftop ...

In case you couldn't ruddy hear my smile across the far recesses of the good ol' UK, let me catch you up:

Yesterday morning, as I'd the bloody incredible fortune of waking up next to my gorgeous girlfriend and I was thinking how sodding brilliant it'd be to wake up next to her all ruddy the time, a ring found it's way into my possession. Being a sharp wizard, I seized the opportunity and took the risk to make the brilliance permanent. Jammy bastard I am, Padma agreed.


What? Couldn't hear it? You're needing me to say it again? No, don't ruddy mind if I do.

Padma and I are engaged.


Well wishes, bottles of champagne, good-natured heckling, and other gifts and goodies offering congratulations are more than appreciated and expected from those who know who they are.

Hi.

I'm the g- I'm the fiancée.

I love you.

Coincidence, that. Wouldn't happen to be mine, would you?

I love you too, Padma.

Is that why Pansy's mother is weeping?

[identity profile] ms-pansy.livejournal.com 2006-11-21 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Most likely.

Now've to work on MacDougal's and all'll be well with the world.

Are you ruddy serious, mate?! Congratulations are in order, then, aren't they? That's brill.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_patil_padma/ 2006-11-21 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
He's serious, Terry, lucky for me. This ring might be a little ridiculous otherwise.

Thank you so much!

That's ace - someone to hopefully take the heat off me and Pansy.

You keep dreaming, darling.

Engagements can be dreadfully public affairs sometimes, Tony. Of course, this is the first time I speak from actual experience.

But thanks- and I'll see you at your own engagement dinner, I hope!

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/ 2006-11-21 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
There's a laugh there, yeah. From what Bulstrode said, reckon things'll only be getting worse from here on out. Best of luck, Tony.

That's wonderful! Congratulations to you both!

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_patil_padma/ 2006-11-21 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Morag.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_patil_parvati/ 2006-11-21 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
You have my congratulations, but I expect you already knew that.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_patil_padma/ 2006-11-21 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Have I told you I love you today? Because I do.

[identity profile] ms-pansy.livejournal.com 2006-11-21 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
That's wonderful news! Congratulations to you both!



...Although I must say how disappointed I am to learn about this development with the general population.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_patil_padma/ 2006-11-21 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry I didn't get to you before Mike did. I wasn't sure, actually, if it would be appropriate to present such news as you near your own engagement party, but I reckon that's just excuses now. We'll have to get together, Pansy... if you're willing. You've been a fiancée for longer than I have, after all!

While I can't hear your smile (they don't make noise, Michael!), I'd like to say congratulations.

Oh, and if you placed any money on Montrose, make certain you go collect it, yeah?

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/ 2006-11-21 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
No? I was dead cert they did. Cheers, Ginny.

Congratulations on the win! I'll be sure to collect my winnings, yeah. I'd a fair chunck of change on you and Cho - would've been a bad call on my part to make a wager against the ex-girlfriends, yeah? So this mean you've impressed the suits to keep you on full time?

[identity profile] su-lynn-li.livejournal.com 2006-11-21 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Congratulations!

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_patil_padma/ 2006-11-21 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Su! I feel it's ironic that our roles have been reversed, as it were, since the last time we spoke about being betrothed. I hope you're as contented with your choices as I am with mine.

Shall I give you the noose now or later?

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_patil_padma/ 2006-11-21 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
There's no need, Zach; I'm certain I can provide him with one.

Well done, Corny. I'll have to come up with a clever name for Padma now.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_patil_padma/ 2006-11-21 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Why exactly would you need to do such a thing, Kevin?

But thank you all the same.

Are you serious? You've got to be, I guess, or you wouldn't be telling everyone, would you? That's... well, that's bleeding brilliant! Hundreds of thousands of congratulations for you!

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_patil_padma/ 2006-11-21 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I promise he is! Hundreds of thousands of thank yous back to you as well, Mandy.

Thank you so much, Dean. And for keeping my sister company this weekend, of course.
