Engaged!

The first Furth of my generation to be engaged has been, as of yesterday. Her fiancee probably doesn't know this, but I was her first choice. When we were like 5 years old, I was staying at her house down in Maryland, and she said "When we get older, I dare you to marry me!" With a tone of superiority mixed with disgust, I told her that cousins couldn't get married. Actually, it's legal in 48 states or something, including Massachusetts (but not N.H.), but that ain't happenin', sorry. Humor aside, it's a little disconcerting that a cousin about a month younger than me is getting married next summer. I'll have to move fast here...
