YAY! I'm so happy for you! I can tell you've made a great choice. This is the happiest I've ever seen you as far as I can remember (possible exception being reunited with Fenton after thinking he was dead)! Looking into a future with someone you truly love is definitely one of the most exiting and touching things you can even begin to imagine. I can tell this is a decision you will never, ever regret. Fenton's never going to regret this choice either. You two were made for each other, which is incredible considering you're from two different worlds (literally), which just goes to show how powerful love is. Don't let him go. If you think you're happy now, just wait until you get to say "I do!"
I wouldn't consider a lifetime commitment to Fenton to be the "biggest risk of all" for you. As much as you love him, and as much as he loves you, I don't imagine it being risky at all. I really think you two will be happier than you could imagine, knowing you'll be together forever. I think that'll become a great comfort whenever other aspects of life get rough.
My girlfriend and I are getting engaged this summer (we practically are now, but we don't have a ring yet, we've decided that will make it official) and we plan to get married after we both graduate from college. We're going to different colleges, because she wants a two-year degree from a community college and I want a four-year degree from an internationally-accredited school of business at a University. We're both majoring in Computer Information Systems, but my career plan is tougher and requires more training. The good news is, both schools are in the same small city, and we both have morning-centered schedules, so we still get to spend time together
. We've even come up with a few possible names for our children... Amy Brooke Carpenter or Elizabeth May for a girl and Dylan James for a boy. So I know what it's like thinking forward. It's exiting, fun, and does make it very hard to wait.
Again, congratulations, and may you and Fenton live together forever in perfect bliss!

Good to see, LIndesfarne! I think that the fact that you've taken the time (years?) to know each other beforehand is a good sign (however, of the two lionesses I've been engaged to, one I was with for years, and broke off engagement before wedding, whereas me and Mrs. Lion were only together for a few months before the plunge (talk about risk taking!), so I guess what I'm saying is "do as I say, not as I do!")
I'm surprised that the wedding ring isn't one of those virtual keyboard rings (you know, those high-tech things which sense finger movement and translate it into movement on a virtual keyboard, making a virtual computer?) Mrs. Lion's ring for me was made out of the skeleton of our first kill together - very romantic. (It's a predator thing. Ask your mom.)
And, speaking as someone who is almost old enough to be your father I'd have to say you're showing good sense to wait until after graduation, very wise of you. You're definitely starting off on the right foot. (Just don't ask me to picture what a hedgehog/bat child would look like - Domain's recent experience with Francis was enough for me! The only thing I can picture is something out of National Enquirer, but I don't htink you want to hear that. )

)Congratulations! I would have to agree with your family that this has been a long awaited event. We are all happy to see it finally coming to pass 
When it's right the whole world seems to know.
I'm surprised you're waiting until after college to get married...but I suppose if you've been waiting this long what's a few more years, eh? My husband and I got married during college, and I've never regretted it since - in fact, I encourage it
But that's just me.
Good luck with your plans and everything that comes along with engagement!

Ok First of all:
Martha & Ralph: Uh... think about Ralph's character.
George & Danielle: George fell in love with Danielle regardless of the fact that he despised rabbits because he was always mistaken for one. Then, Danielle Kindle died to save George's life. Their first kiss was also their last. Danielle Kendall crossed through the portal and remained omnivorous.
Kevin & Kell: One of the first Carnivore/Herbivore marriages in Domain. Bound to bring some controversy
R.L. & Angelique: In a way, they're both rats
Lindesfarne, you and Fenton will do great. You're both nocturnal insectivores, and nobody minds your fondness of flying. Even the people who have problems with Kevin and Kell being married have no reason to dislike you. There are many in your world who dislike Kevin, because of his physical characteristics and for marrying a carnivore. There are people who dislike Kell, for marrying Kevin. There are those who dislike Rudy... well... partially his attitude. There are people who... well they don't dislike Coney, but they are afraid of her. But I can not think of anyone who does not like you. I can't think of anyone who doesn't like Fenton. You two are perfect for each other, and both of you can overcome any obstacle. This is definitely NOT going to be a train wreck. Sure, Kevin and Kell experience some controversy, but they're the happiest married couple I've seen in your world (and I bet you and Fenton will easily at least tie for that position). George and Danielle love each other very much, and have a happy healthy baby. So you and Fenton can make it. Will there be bumps in the road? Probably. Will you notice them? Maybe not! Will they throw you off course? Hell NO!

Congratulations! (And, shame, shame, for telling "us" before your parents! I guess it will be a while before you really begin to think of this as a semi-public blog.) I note that Fenton's parents aren't in your notification list. If you're leaving it up to him, make sure that he actually follows through.
I'm so glad that you're finally able to receive the replies we make to your blog posts (there have been replies made all along, of course).
I don't know about you, but as for me, I'll assume that this is a temporary state of affairs; sooner, rather than later, someone will detect the network traffic emanating from the portal, and will decide to intervene. If I'm wrong, and the transmissions (including return transmissions) are as secure as you believe, I'll have no complaints, but in any case I intend to enjoy the situation for however long it lasts.
This might be confusing, but I wanted to mention that there are a number of questions I'd like to ask you, which I am going to refrain from asking. As has been mentioned, the life of your family appears on this side as a webcomic. Three panels a day, seven days a week (double sized on Sunday), is hardly enough to even begin to offer a summary of one person's life. To depict even the highlights of your entire family's day to day activities, I'd assume that there's a great deal of abridgement and simplification going on. Asking you to expand on what's in the comic would be an unnecessary and most likely confusing invasion. I might feel like I know you already, but I have to accept that this is our first "meeting" and that what I "know" about you already could easily be wrong.
By the same token, I'd hesitate to mention events that have or will take place in the webcomic, of which you would be unaware (if events occurred as depicted), if for no other than reason than that I'd rather not tamper with a good thing. Being able to communicate with you definitely falls into the category of "ain't broken".
Incidentally, one of the things I do want to mention is that though this is a "human world", it almost certainly is not THE "human world" from which you originally came, nor that of Nick and Ki (who are also webcomic characters over here).
That's all I'll post for now. Word of the two-way breakthrough has been getting around, and I wouldn't be surprised if traffic more than doubles from last week.
May those who watch the portal be asleep at the switch.
Wishing you the best...
