We may just be people scattered around the world playing a game together, but we've done a lot of different activities together. We've struggled from level 1 to level 50; we've put an end to Ultima Weapon's reign of terror; we've flattened the Primals of the land several times over; and we've started (or, in some cases, finished) to discover the truth behind elder Primal Bahamut and the fallen moon Dalamud. We've gathered legendary Relic weapons and powered them up through numerous lengthy and demanding quests; we've (well, I've) spent more time than strictly necessary putting together the perfect "look" to go adventuring with; we've crafted thousands upon thousands of metal ingots, meat pies, magic potions and deadly weapons. It hasn't always been easy, it hasn't always even been fun, but a core of us have stuck together through thick and thin and forged some close friendships as a result. And, of course, this happened.

You will always have this as a memento to look at often together. It's interesting that you were on computers in different rooms. Is that how you always play this game? Is it so you don't know what the other's character will do till the move is made on-screen? I must say I don't know how you can handle so many names/data cluttering up the screen as you play – is that always there? Once each character is logged in can the data be turned off, so you can see what is happening more clearly? Or are you just used to it now?
Anyway it was a glorious thing to watch, though the pauses for downloading were frustrating, especially when they happened just as your important and very heart-felt dialogue was being entered.
Thanks for allowing me to see it. 😀

I haven't had any contact with Andie – I don't think anyway – but I feel sure from things you have said that she is a wonderfully supportive and caring person, as are you. I hope you continue to have the loving, stable relationship that has led to this engagement. And what a great way to get engaged. Hugs and kisses to you both. 😀
