I’ve been trying to figure out for some time now how to share the news with you all. Should it be a video post? Is now the time to develop an e-newsletter? Is this the type of thing one tweets…perhaps with a special hashtag? I mean, how exactly does one make a confession of this sort to a group of strangers-turned-friends in an online community? There’s no Emily Post to dictate etiquette in this situation.
So I thought about it…and then weeks went by…
Then Sarah and I debated over the course of a few Gchat conversations about the how and when of coming clean…and then months went by…
And soon it was old news to us and frankly, I forgot some people didn’t know so my news became a not-so-secret secret, kept hidden out of sheer laziness and fear of seeming overly self-involved.
So while this may hardly be news to most of you, I felt it necessary to clarify one particular point for all of you that have asked (due to my “exposure” on a sister website).
Honey would like to be called Hubby. It’s official: I’m engaged.
A blog announcement is appropriate, especially because this site is all about dating and love and good discussions!
Sorry for blowin’ up your spot yesterday but I was really excited and needed confirmation.
Congratulations to you and your honey! You left hand is lookin’ mighty fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.
(Btw, if you so feel inclined, I’d love to hear your engagement story – I love reading those! If not, no worries at all!)
What an interesting development in IKDH! For you, Chanel, it will be IKMH!
Congrats (though belated)! Thanks for the update.
Congratulations!
Congratulations Chanel,
May God bless you and “Hubby” in your upcomming marriage! whoever the fortunate fellow is!
I bet you had doubted if this would come in years, and lost hopes now long past;
and see Romans 8:28 is God’s endgame after all!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!
Dear Chanel,
Congratulations! What a wonderful secret
I would love to hear more about how you’ve approached making this huge decision. What kinds of conversations did you and Honey have? Who did you seek counsel from? Did you read any books/take one of those church classes/have a special checklist of things you needed to have in order to make the decision?
I hope and pray that your engagement and marriage are joyful, God-honoring new adventures for you and Honey!
Wow! Congrats Chanel! Awww, how sweeet! I don’t know you personally but I’m very happy for you. God Bless. And I agree with CW, do tell!
