Well, now my parents and all our friends in the church have been at her request. She is going to make an announcement this weekend on facebook (requesting that people respect "our" descision. Told her that if she changed the "our" to my I'd tell them) and didn't want any shocked outcries replies and emails afterwards.

Of course, if any of these people that she cares about reply in any fashion she has told me that she'll turn the phone off or delete the reply as appropriate.

Why then does she care that they know from me in a caring fashion?
Oh well it is done.
