I'd guess...

After two developers lived at Dries' place during DrupalCON, Karlijn has some idea of what she's getting herself into...

congrats to both of you are due indeed! i wont make any cheap jokes about drupal, code and what can happen to the both of you, but if you devide half the time and quality to your relationship as you have put in drupal (better, double the time and quality!), I am sure you'll do fine.

A good wedding and wittebroodsweken (do they have that in BE?) to both of you.

Now you have a excuse to tack a much deserved holiday. But not to long, the drupal community needs you just as much as she does.

Dries' True Love

sami_k - June 28, 2005 - 21:13

Maybe we feel that he is married to us,
So perhaps we should be jealous that
We're not the only love in sight

But we can not love him as she does
So let us instead rejoice
Dries, you have found your true love!

We hope that
With us
She will share your time

Well said

The great thing about the open source community

Crell - June 28, 2005 - 22:25

One of the things I love about the open source community is that the developers are (almost) all HUMAN, and we, the little users, get to hear about wonderful news like this instead of marketspeak. I'll take domestic partnership announcements over corporate partnership announcements any day.

Congratulations! I wish you both most well.

I wonder if this is the first time a marriage proposal has resulted in a Drupal site being overwhelmed? It's worse than a slashdotting. :-)

You are actually right that

killes@www.drop.org - June 29, 2005 - 13:11

You are actually right that it is worse. The slashdot crowd only reads, the Drupal people also write and empty the cache...
I'd like to see a detailed summary on what actually happened.

Oh, and congratulations to Karlijn and Dries!
I cannot know what the future holds for you, but I certainly hope it will be only the best.
