figee and hegee are engaged! woo hoo!
So, let's celebrate properly with a virtual wedding shower.
My gift is an all expense paid virtual honeymoon vacation to Freycinet National Park in Tasmania. It's perfect timing for the wedding, I think. It'll be summer there! Good hiking, good swimming, big jacuzzi tubs, wallabies running around, etc.
Congratulations!

Wonderful news! Congratulations!
My gift will be two nights at the Ice Hotel in Québec City. Sparkling beauty, originality, and you'll have your love to keep you warm.

Congratulations and best wishes to the happy couple. May I offer a virtual glass of champagne to toast this lovely occasion? <Hands the bottle to Octoprof and llanfair to pour, since I'm feeling like Typhoid Mountainguy at the moment>.

Since I seem to be the cake-baker around here, I'll make you whatever wedding cake you would like. I will also whip up an engagement cake for all of us to dig into right now. Maybe a dense chocolate cake with Chambord-soaked raspberries between layers? Some white chocolate shavings on top?

Sounds wonderfully decadent. Can you work real whipped cream in there somewhere? |

(Arrives, dazed and confused, and walking with a definite leftward list)
I'm going to bring some tomato and boccochini tarts which are too good not to have.
But thank you all very much.

Congrats! Here: a book of gift certificates for couples' spa treatments (massages, mudbaths, you name it).

Your professors were probably afraid of your galactic genius and did everything they could (behind the scenes) to thwart your hedginess. Hedgie loves to read. |

If I had the power, I'd give you both one golden week together with absolutely no responsibilities, no cares, no obligations, and no stress even approaching the darkest reaches of your unconscious minds.
