*Bridal Chorus plays in the background*

For those of you who don't know, Perch is the amazing founder of our little group. I know that all of us who work on AWM's projects or here in the forums couldn't love her more, since we've found a great place to work. She does almost all of the typesetting, too, because she's some sort of superhuman.

So of course we were all very happy for her when we learned that she'd found the perfect older non-Asian male with no sparkle powers for her. Jamboree did many awesome things in his life, I'm sure, but I'd really like to thank him because he introduced her to ~~crack~~ manga and anime - they're just as potent, so I sometimes get the two terms confused. Thanks, Mr. Perch!

Anyway, this had happened long before I got to know the happy couple, but, having bonded over very, very, very, very, very, and also very large amounts of time spent playing video games and watching shounen anime series, Mr. Perch realized he'd never find a more perfect "bizarre facepaint duo" woman, and proposed.

Now they're about to get married, and we sincerely wish them all the best. So Fye and I thought that we should all be given the opportunity to congrutalate the happy couple, especially Perch, since we know and love her to bits. We wish Jamboree the best too, but we don't know him as well, so we decided to dedicate this thread to her. Plus we didn't want to - oh wait, that'd give away my next paragraph.

Now that it's the next paragraph, I can continue on.

We can't amuse ourselves by giving Mr. Perch lingerie, because he's a "Mr." But we can embarass both ourselves and Perch by giving it to her!

Hence the secondary purpose of this thread: to give presents to our fearless leader before she embarks on her frightening journey!

Since we're really not stalkers, I swear we're not, we ~~haven't figured out her address yet~~ don't know where she lives, we can't give her real presents. But we can give her pictures of presents, which are almost as good! Well, except for the fact that they're not real and all. But that's not the point!

So, everyone can use this thread to give their presents to Perch! Embarassing ones, practical ones, crazy ones that she'd probably sell at a pawn shop if someone gave them to her in real life... all kinds of presents!

That being said, I'm going first. Perch, as I'm sure you know by now, I sometimes behave in an... eccentric... manner. And since these aren't real gifts, I've suddenly become really wealthy.

Since that's the case, I've decided to act like the eccentric but wealthy old aunt who drives you nuts but you love anyway... mainly because you want to be in her will, not that you'd ever admit it... and give you a set of china. I expect you to appreciate it, young lady, because I saw my dead husband in a dream and he instructed me on which pattern to get you.

It's a full set of Royal Doulton's "Abacus" pattern, enough to serve ten people with. I expect you to have me over for dinner quite often now, and to leave a spot for dear old Uncle Samuel, as his spirit might visit us, even though only I can see it... I'm giving you plates, bowls, two serving platters, teacups and saucers, a creamer and sugar bowl, a gravy boat and plate, and a teapot. The works. Uncle Samuel will be very sad if you break any of it, so do be careful!

Also, Fye and I wanted to give you something special from both of us, so we agreed on giving you some nice tea to sip once you get back and settle in to married life. We put in lots of different kinds: peach, apple, lemon and green tea from Fye, and Earl Grey, Chamomile, Irish Breakfast, and Chai from yours truly. You can use your new china to drink from it... that's what Uncle Samuel wants you to do.

Seriously, though, I'm really happy for you, and wish you all the best. I hope you have a great wedding and an even better honeymoon, and that you two are very happy together. I'm going to stop before I bring tears to my own eyes from the corniness of what I'm saying, but I really do mean it.

Sorry for the excessively long post, everyone, but I'm just so emotional at times like these! Plus I'm expressing Uncle Samuel's wishes too, and you all know how he likes to go on and on... anyway, let the gift-giving begin!

Oh yeah, and this is now the official picture for this thread:

Well, if Lynz is going to act like the eccentric aunt, then I'll act like the perv cousin

I'll give you a really pretty babydoll (it's Victoria's Secret, yey!) that only you Perch should be able to wear, but I'm sure Jamboree will also enjoy it *blinks eye

And a little gift Mr. Perch will like, from Lynz and me ^-~:

LOL, I swear I'm not that perv *coghcogh*

Anyway, I just want to say that I hope you 2 have the best time of your lifes! You'll start a new time in your lifes soon, and I want it to be filled with the best of the best.
Since I'm not really good with this kind of things, and since Lynz said pretty much everything, I'll send you both my blessings and my love.

Happiness Forever!

Wow, that's incredibly sweet you guys! Thank you very much for the well wishes.

I'm really glad that Perch has gathered such awesome people to her. I'm happy other people get to know how totally awesome Perch is ^_^

Hmm... what should I give to Mrs. Mr. Perch to celebrate her day?

I think I'm already giving her a ride...

She may have to settle for my undying love and devotion. My promise to stay by her side forevermore.

If that doesn't work, I'll get her a salamander. Or a pony. Or a pony-mander.

(seriously, I'm touched, thanks you two

)

xD Awww. lynz has nice long post.

(o__o did you do background research for all of that?)

Well here we go.. something for the both of them

A kotatsu, with oranges included.

EEEE! Fish and kinky things....and Uncle Samuel? What are you doing here?

Thank you guys so much for this thread! It was such a great treat to see and it made me ridiculously happy! I'm going to bed to snatch some of this mythical "beauty sleep." I'll see you all on Sunday!

*hugs* You all have a great Saturday. Thank you again! This was awesome.

Yes, congratulations! I have been extremely amazed at your dedication and hard work for AWM even just before your wedding, it has been inspiring to watch and work with you. I don't think I would have translated so much for anyone else. I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness! Here's my pic gift! A complete bridal spa treatment!

I have no idea what I should get you, perhaps something practical to help you out when you're running errands or doing some grocery shopping?

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Perch!

Yes, a very huge congrats and may you live happily untill armagedon, hopefully its not 2012.... Any way my gift would be....

Yep, thats right. $50,000 dollars! Help pay for those expensive weddings. My gift might not last years like the others but it will definitly help.

@kkarth "honestly, perch try not to think of us poor souls who can't sneak in one of those "happy wedding" annoucements into the manga releases because none of us typeset. ;D"

The cleaners could sneak in some thing, or possibly the quality checkers or proof readers. We could find plenty of ways.

Oooo really you can darkendheart? That would be awesome.

First of all, I know Im new on here but I would like to say, "CONGRADULATIONS!!" Your a really nice person and you deserve happiness, so, I wish you GOOD luck. Also, for your bachlorette party/ bridal shower, I would like to send you:

As for your wedding:

Seriously, Congradulations! Wish you the best!

@Mandy

Throws out blender, keeps the man....

I mean... <.<

Shoot, my husband works in the group!!! Hahah thank you everyone for your warm wishes either new members or people that have been around for months. I really appreciate it. I'm looking forward to my trip on Monday and am really nervous/excited.

We're not going to have internet access either so I won't be able to see anything online for about a week-and-a-half. *hugs group*

Take care of each other, keep the place in one piece and no blowing up the internets! Or keep it to little explosions!

Have fun! I bet the no internet was a must when you where looking for places to go, if perch had internet Mr. perch would be fighting her to get off the whole time. Well thats all I have to say and hopefully you see this before you go, don't worry we won't blow stuff up... much.

mwhahah

Thank you Darkendheart.....only half the internet is allowed to blow up and not ours!

I'm out of here! Everything I could possibly do is done and everything else is left in the staff's capable hands! I'll see you guys in a couple of weeks!

*cheers and runs around*
