Filtered away from Emma
I've been watching Peter and his darling Aly since we arrived in Spain, and it's quite the sight to see. They're so wonderful together. And adorable too. It's just good to see the simple joy of two people so right for each other. And of course, the way they seem to make the most naughty things seem completely innocent. I love seeing the pure happiness of them now that they can finally be together again. They're acting like teenagers and they keep slipping away and winking and they come back with flushed cheeks, acting nonchalant. As if no one will know what they've been up to. It's exactly what I've always wanted for my little brother.

I've been thinking about things in my own relationship for awhile. How is seems like it's back on track, after what happened in December. I watch Aly and Peter together, and I see how they just click. And I feel I'm there again with Emma. We have been for a while, but we haven't drawn attention to it, lest it bite us in our arses. There's something about this place though. It seems to bring out people's happiness. Emma looks so relaxed. She doesn't look like she's walking on eggshells and trying so hard to say the right things. She looks like she's absolutely and completely comfortable again, and that's how I want her to feel. So tonight I am going to ask her to marry me.

You're adorable and wonderful. Thank you for being inspiring as well. Your easy happiness made me realise I can have that too.

Will you wear a dress?

Hah! Nice try.

You're right. You're absolutely right. There couldn't be a better time. I know that when you ask the question, it will be perfect. I couldn't be more happy for you!

And while we're on the subject... Liz, you'll be there for our wedding on Tuesday, won't you? Christina and I have decided we're tired of waiting.

I'm so happy I could burst into song...

If you want to fit in with the rest of the wedding, I suggest finding silver or metallic outfits. Something shiny, anyway.

I have it all planned out! I'm very excited!

And weddings!! The excitement level here is about to triple...mark my words...no one throws a party like David and Aly's family.

Squeee! I think Hope and I are probably making very much the same sound right now! Although her is probably more high-pitched *winks*

It all sounds so divine, darling. You truly have found a most magickal time and place. I'm so happy for you! Everyone should have such joy in their lives. It makes me smiley and bubbly just to think of you there!

She's very good at high pitched!! Emma is probably wondering what is going on. We have the wedding now as cover, though I don't really mind if she's suspicious. That just makes it better later!!

I'm glad it does, Renee. It certainly is a joyful time.
