My merry engagement: Part two

After picking out my beautiful ring Ironman took a photo with his smart phone. We then sent a picture of my engagement ring via sms to all family and closest friends. Ironman then went to work, and I went home to play xbox and do whatever else I want on my day off. 

Pretty soon the responses came in, and all my wonderful friends and all of Ironman's gorgeous family replied via sms or rang me with their congratulations and were super excited for us. Weddings ARE super exciting. 

Towards midday I realized that my Mum had not yet replied, as had neither of my family members, which was strange for them. Plus, I really wanted to announce it on facebook. So I rang mum. 

*Click* Mum hangs up. Now I don't know much about these things, since I haven't been married or engaged before, and I only have one mum, but I'm pretty sure there's meant to be a squeal of excitement and some happy emotions, perhaps even a congratulations? 

A few days later I received a card in the mail. "Happy engagement, from Homer, Marge and Annie." 

Sigh. They're mental, they really are.
