Hello all. Wonderful news! Cailín and myself, Eomer of the Rohirrim, have recently become engaged to be wed. There are a few Downers who already knew we were on that path but now, with the acquisition of a beautiful ring, it's official enough to announce to our favourite internet community.
Though Cailín is not an active poster these days, preferring to haunt these parts silently, she was rather busy on here a few years ago - especially in the Werewolf games. In fact, that's where we first met! You know how it goes: he's the wolf, she's the Seer, she dreams of him, they are both massacred bloodily, and it's all very romantic. When it emerged on the 'What do you assign to Mordor?' thread that Cailín was negotiating a year abroad in Aberdeen, Scotland (or God's Ain Toon as it's usually called) we started PMing, and chatted amiably enough to decide an RL meeting might be appropriate. Things went swimmingly, and a few weeks later we were an item. Her year at Aberdeen University ended, and I decided to return with her to her homeland of the Netherlands in 2007. We've since realised that we can put up with each other well enough, and have agreed to take the plunge into marriage. So there you have it. We understand it's not the most original thing, the whole Barrow Downs wedding, but we thought you'd like to know. So thank you Barrow Downs!

In the same way that the two of you jumped on the Downs Couple Bandwaggon nice and early, I'd like to hop aboard the congratulations bandwaggon before that gets passé, and offer my sincerest congratulations to you both, Eomer and Cailín.
Although, like as not, most of us wouldn't be able to make such an event, can we hope for getting gold-lettered invitations to the wedding, ala the Long-Awaited Party? ![]()

We have not many 'Downer marriages (three or four?), but of those few two are ignited by the WereWolf!
![]() Remember all that talk how the game arouses feelings - as far as the mods needing to occasionally come forwards because of some heated feelings... but they clearly can heat this way as well! Congrats to you both and may you live in happiness for everafter!

Well, this is no surprise. In fact, I've been wondering for quite some time when there'd be some sort of announcement from you two. Congrats, Cailin and Eomer! I'm glad to hear you've found happiness together and I wish you two the very best.
![]() Oh and btw, if I ever find myself if the Netherlands again, I'll definitely have to look you guys up. I'm still sad we never got the chance to meet two years ago, especially considering I passed right through where you live multiple times..

We always planned to do this but it never happened (mostly because everyone seems to be on Facebook nowadays).
But here for anyone who is interested is how a couple of Downers looked on their wedding day ![]() ![]() And showing off the outfits: ![]() |

Thanks everyone! I can assure you that we included a detailed description of the Downs and Werewolf during the ceremony.

Rarely have I ever seen my tartan worn so handsomely--or perhaps the reflected beauty of Cailin brings it out.
