I don't think you're supposed to congratulate the woman, I think you're supposed to congratulate the guy. There is something else you say to the woman...anybody know? I forget.
...It's hard to be humble when you own a Rottweiler...
?Congratulations? ? when speaking to a woman, who has gotten engaged, one does not say congratulations. It is considered an insult, equivalent to an insult as if she could not get a man. Go figure! It seems like it would be perfectly fine, but instead say something like ?that?s wonderful,? ?my blessings,? and ?what wonderful news?.
How wonderful for you both, and to have met on line, how cool is that.
To Be One With Each Other
George Eliot (1819-1880)
What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen each other in all labour, to minister to each other in all sorrow, to share with each other in all gladness, to be one with each other in the silent unspoken memories?
Thanks so much for your warm thoughts and congratulations! (actually congratulations to the gal in THIS case are warranted...I'm marrying the finest man I have ever met)
Life is better than it's ever been, and continues to get even better...(hard ta believe)...every loving day!

I'm confused. Is that the Steve! who posts here? For some reason I thought he was already married.

Steve!
Yes, it's true. (pause while listening to the sound of hundreds of hearts breaking)
I want to thank everyone for their warm wishes.
Cindy and I are ecstatic.
And Rottsy, yes, but I'm in the process of divorcing. It was a long time coming, but it was going to happen no matter what.

Now you will feel no rain
For each of you will be shelter to the other.
Now each of you will feel no cold
For each of you will be warmth to the other.
Now there is no loneliness for you
For each of you will be companion to the other.
Now you are two persons
But there is one life before you.
May your days be good and long upon the earth.
.....Apache wedding blessing
