Surreality: Uniting Geeks and Losers since 2007!
Surreality has a new tagline! /dance
If you've been following me for any length of time, then you know I met my fiance in Heroic Underbog. (And yes, I am still tempted to name the head table at our wedding reception "Zangarmarsh" as a result!) However, our guild — and, more specifically, leading it — is what really brought us together.
Apparently, the Chain Lightning strikes twice. (Okay, technically — thrice. Shut up. This is my brie-laden analogy, thankyouverymuch.)
Last night, at the beginning of our weekly foray into Icecrown Citadel, our caustic warrior tank and perpetually sunny guild bard (the Brazilian mage who never fails to serenade Surreality to victory!) announced their engagement.
And guess where they met?
Serpentshrine Cavern, circa 2008.
I'll admit, I'm kind of giddy. And not just because I consider them both friends, and am fantastically happy that they've found each other (and, like Keaton and I, crossed international boundaries to do so). I'm totally tickled by the idea that my little guild — which started as a haven for a few friends and family members on the virtual cesspool that is Black Dragonflight — has led to not one but two lifelong partnerships.
It's really kind of amazing.
(Also, for the record: the happy couple coined the tagline so I'm insulting neither of them when I respost it!)

Is this the part where I lament, “why did I join an all-male guild?”
Best wishes to them.

Best wishes to the two of them, and of course to you and bear

Tables named after zones is the best idea ever.
EVER.

Hmmm I’m single. Can I join your guild? :-p

I just stumbled across your blog now, and it makes me happy to see this as the most recent post – even though it is a few weeks old. I am from New Zealand, also a leader of a small guild and I met my current boyfriend, who lives in America, in Karazhan in around November 2007. We’ve only been officially together a few months but have been best friends the entire time, and I’m flying out to meet him in June. *excitement*
Also, a guildie of mine from WoW (who lived in the USA) met her NZ boyfriend on Maple Story, and she arrives in New Zealand tomorrow, hopefully for good – she will be sorting out her visas and stuff over the coming weeks.
So, congratulations to both you and the newly engaged couple. I know exactly what you mean by feeling giddy.
