Elrond, Congratulations.

[Majestic]

On April 16th Australia and April 15th US Elrond one of our members and one of my friends got married to his Fiancé Amy.

I would like to personally say congratulations and hope you both all the happiness. I also want to see more of both of you, especially around here. :wink:

Congratulation my friends. :D

[Hellkite]

[Jess]

Congrats Elrond!! I can't wait to see the piccies!! :D

[Syf]

Congrats Elrond...

*song in the background playing "Another one bites the dust".*:D

[Elrond]

Thanks folks. Yep, April 15th we got married, the day before Easter. Wow was that a weekend.

Anyway, I lost my secondary hard drive on my pc the other day, while backing up files, including pics of my wedding and everything from five months back, so now all I got is 35 mm pics. I'm gonna try to find out if the guy who did digital photos still has the files for that. Maybe I didn't lose everything afterall if that's the case.

btw, this is my first post here on the new forum. Weeeeeee. * Turn the page and enters a new chapter of Majestic Sci-Fi Central history. *

w00t!

[Blindeye]

PS: This is the second forum I've been to hhehe

[CrazyFrog1903]

[Jess]

Oh no! :shock: I hope ou can get the photos back! I hope you find that because it wasn't too long ago the photographer will still have copies.

Welcome Amy! It's lovely to meet you! I'm really happy for both you and Elrond! Woohoo! :D

[Darklight]

Congratulations Elrond and Amy, I wish you two the most happiness in the world!:wink:

[Majestic]

Josh, Majestic is that your name Josh?

Congratulations Elrond and Amy, I wish you two the most happiness in the world!:wink:

Nope. :lol: That is Elronds name.

[Queen_Amy]

Amy + Elrond = w00t!8-) :D

[Darklight]

Josh is an awesome name, Elrond.

Aye yes, I wish the very best for you both. Remember if either of you need someone to talk to I'm here for you.8-)

[Queen_Amy]

LOL. I find myself calling him Elrond every once in a while. And yep, Josh is a very nice name. Josh and Amy go togetther like, um, like Apple Pie and America, or Alien sitings and deserts, or Romeo and Juliet. Yeah, that last one is more accurate, except it doesn't end in tragedy.

Well, I hope not. Romoe and Juliet ended up killing themselves because the loved each other so much, but couldn't be together. But I hope you two have as strong of love for each other as Romeo and Juliet. And may it last 10 lifetimes!:)

Congrats!

[Elrond]

Well, today (actually, yesterday now) was a day to culminate everything that's been going on for like a year. All the guilt is gone today and now I'm a new man, or so I think... After the roughest week in basically...forever...the final day of the week (yesterday) decided everything that will become the future.

This all is a little personal and I ask that you folks go easy on me about it. But someone on my site, a good friend of mine, told me today that over the last few months or so I've been getting to be quite the pain in the butt. That I was letting my power over being a server manager corrupt me. And after hearing that, I was enraged to say the least. I was hearing this from a friend. And it's because it was the truth. I had used whatever power people apparently think I have to alter my judgement of things. It's kind of what had to do with December's big rant on the old forumup site.

And that guilt, along with another form of guilt which is vastly worse than the above caused me to nearly end my life yesterday. I was spared somehow, but wounded (a half-centimeter-deep cut at my chest). It could have been worse. But I believe God spared me. He spared me so that later on yesterday, I could let go of my guilt by confessing some things I had to confess, well, one thing in particular. And that was a confession to Amy.

I had done something last year that was remarkably stupid, evil, corrupt, and whatever other words I could come up with to describe it. Last year at that time it happened, Amy and I were going steady. But there was a party, there was drinking, etc. And oh, there was a girl there who I met. I'd give you three guesses what happened next, but you'd only really need one.

I have said it again and again throughout the last twelve hours: I'm the biggest fool ever. I am no better than Bill Clinton or such and such (whoever else does the same thing). Being confused with life over the last several years has much to do with the faulty and outrageous decisions I've made. I swear occassionally, but never had I ever committed a sin such as this. Unfortunately, in this evil nation, it really does happen all the time. And I'm part of the statistic now.

I talked with Amy about it finally. There was no way of anyone knowing that it happened. But I would not let this go on beyond today.

By a trick of fate, not only was I spared my life today after I had attempted something, but I was forgiven that sin, by Amy. I don't know about God though. It's probably still in the air as far as God goes, but God does forgive. I asked for no forgiveness. I would have rather spent an eternity in hell than to ever have cheated in the first place.

The worst thing about it though, is that when I admitted what had happened, I felt better about it. I did not want to feel better about it. I wanted to feel miserable because of what I had done. But the guilt was overwhelming and it was taking a great toll.

But I do feel better now, fortunately. Both of us do. I had been forgiven for my honesty and because of the conditions of myself when that all happened. Never since then have I took a sip of anything alcohol. And never will I again.

Just like the Romeo and Juliet tragedy, this almost did end up to be the same, sort of. Dudes, tell your wives, girlfriends, etc, that you love them at any opportunity. And gals, likewise to your husbands, boyfriends, etc. Life's too short to end up making monumental mistakes like I did.

And if it has happened, then the earlier you confess it the better, even if nobody will ever know about it, the thing is, you will, and so will God. I have been nearly destroyed since that happened. And confessing it was the first turn of the tide. As Amy said, she feels no pain about it. But I will bear the pain for the both of us, and heal for the both of us. The hardest part is over. The only thing I'm upset over now is that I did it to begin with, or that I didn't confess sooner. It all happened in August last year - that long ago! That was around the time I stopped modding anything for the game Star Trek Armada, because after what I had done, I did not know what fun was anymore. I could never just go ahead and do something fun without having something stabbing at me in the back of my mind. And for the longest time I didn't really realize what it was. I thought I had forgotten it. Just the other day, I realized that I hadn't, and that's when the pain plumed beyond belief.

It's one of the reasons I haven't been posting on anything lately and simply just sleeping throughout the day. I couldn't face anything anymore. Getting up, going to sleep, it was all rough. For the last couple days I hadn't eaten anything, until just yesterday. I was either up for 48 hours this past week or sleeping for 16 hours a day.

But as it is, this story has ended and a new one begins. And it took a friend and a swift kick in the rear-end (mentally) to get me to think and reflect on everything more. Our love will not end so easily. It's just my stupid mistakes and depression that ends. The future can be changed and the past can't and that's all that anyone can hope for.

I probably should not have mentioned it, but I did. I figure everyone should know what I liar and cheater I was and never will be again. It takes a small man to admit to something, and I still don't know what it takes to fess up like this, but for sure, it took a lot.

Amy, I love you darling, and never will I do anything to hurt you, ever. I've told you this before, but you mean too much to me for me to say it once, so I gotta say it a thousand times.

[Queen_Amy]

Ok. Elrond turnned the computer over to me.

I can say for one thhat though you have madde mistakes we're none of us perfect. You were at a party, you werre, um, drinking. And that's what happened. No excuse for it, but you desserve after all you done for me to be forgivenn and I could not hurt you either. It's the least I could do. I love you and this won't change a thingg. It takes a great person too admit to something like this. You still have friennds and you are never alone. Doesn't matter what you've done in the past, I know you've learned from it. And you're not stupid, ****it!

I have made my big gigantic mistakes, likke not telling you how I felt when we were first together. You were confused, and I was shy and nervous. You have a depression thing going too and that isnn't going to help you that much is it?

I'd be the first to say I love you a thousand times. But taht would be a lie because I would have to say that I love you until the end of the world. im just glad that you have conquered your guilt and we cann move on without making additional visits to the hospital beccause you want to do yourself in. I'm thinking that wonn't happen anymore. But there's still more to do. I talked to you about what needs to be done already. We get out this summer and we do as much fun stuff as possiblle. Let'ss go to Great Britain and all that.

You're not a screw up. If you were, how woulld you be with me at alll? I was very selective of the person I was going to spend eternity withh. No one else fit with me like you didd. So just move on, don't call yourself stupid anymore, certainly don't friging stab yourself, and start remembering what you do have. You have accomplished more yourself than you thinkk. Now we can accomplish stuff togetherr. If you ever thought that life with me woould ever be boring, then just wait and see, and I think you'lll be surprised a lot.

You have a condition that you've had for sometime that you couldn't begin to deffeat until now. But you have already won. You have struggled with this painn which was a paain that no one should ever feel. You're not evil and your not going to hell like you always say you arre. Just let it all ggo now. Be free with me. Oh my I just rhymed!

Love ya Josh.

By the way: I'll be loooming over you like a shadow to make dang sure you don't do anythingg to yourself ever again. If you pull a hair on your headd, that qualifies as a national crime in my opinon. That's what's upset me more than anythhing. If you get that frustratedd, then run to me and cryy. I've cried on your shoulder enough times. It's the least I could do.

[Majestic]

Now I understand, you did change around that time last year, I and others noticed that.

I and very glad that it's over now and I hope to see you more often both around here and everywhere else, especially with modding Armada 2.

I am here if you and Amy need someone, but I am sure you have plently of people offering their hands and help to the pair of you.

Good luck and I hope everything really picks up.

[Jess]

Wow, that was quite a story. Elrond, when you said that it takes a small man to fess up, that's not right. A small man lives with a secret like that, and continues doing what he was doing. You bit the bullet and told the person you love at the risk of losing them. Now THAT was what a man would do.

And Amy, you seem like such a strong person, and Elrond is really lucky to have you.

I am glad that you, Elrond, feel as if you are beginning to defeat the depression. Even though you haven't been married long, it seems as if it agrees with you! :) And I am glad that you didn't leave us (you know what I mean). You, and now Amy, are such valuable members here. We are like a little family here and we would have all been devestated if anything had happened.

I know that we had a bit of a rocky start, but I am glad that that has changed. And I am glad that you have someone as special as Amy by your side, supporting you. Both of you are extremely lucky!

Guys, I am here if you need anything, as are we all. It's all uphill now! :D

[Queen_Amy]

Thanks folks. It really means a lot.

Josh would never in normmal condition ever consider doing anythingg to hurt me. And I know that. Most anyone who knows him knnows that I thinnk.

It'll take some time for Josh to heall from this. The shock off letting go of the guilt seems to be hittting him pretty good, but it's like the flu, it'll pass now that this is over withh. The only thing bugging me is if he fallls back into depresssion for some other reasonn, or for no reason at all. He's been sickk all week because of thinking about all this and was worst the other nnight when, well, you kknow what happens with severe stomach things sometimes. All this stuff put together was whhy business wasn't too hot in April. Pretty near impossibble to focus this long on something with that level of pain. He said guilt is the worsst torture there is. He was pale as could be the last couple of dayss and now he seems to be back to normal physiccally. Back to his normal selff especially physicallly, no pun on anything intended...

I love him more now than eever. Heck, if I found out he was Dracula, then I'd become Mrs. Dracula, or somethingg. Then I get wings and fly LOL.

Heck, we've both been laughgin at some jokes from that site ytmnd. Some funny stuff, like this one which you ffolks may like:

[CrazyFrog1903]

I agree with what was said before. It takes a very strong man to admit something and accept the punishment. Without ever knowing what that might be. It also shows that you have a very strong moral fiber that runs through you. B/c of that I know you are very trustworthy and honorable. Everyone makes mistakes. The difference is how people react to them.

Also, let me speak as one who has had such a sin done against me. Except it happened after almost 4 years of marriage. My exwife never realized that all she had to do was admit it and show she was truely sorry for doing it. I can say I have forgiven her of that act but I also learned of her true nature. When I say that I mean her total lack of remorse. Also what ended that relationship was when she finally confessed to attempting to kill our youngest son in the bathtub. That I consider the greatest sin of all.

So, from what I can see. The two of you should have a long happy life together. Use this to make your relationship stronger. The two of you also show how close you truely are and how much you both love each other b/c you both are standing by each others side working through this together. I appluad both of you for working through this together. Also, as many have already said. Both of you have a group of friends here that is willing to help when needed. I wish nothing but the absolute best for both of you.

[Atlantis]

Hm, I can't really say anything that's not already been said, but I figured I may's well.

Elrond, you've been through a lot, you've made mistakes. That's normal, everyone makes mistakes and misjudgments.
But you take responsibility for those mistakes, and that shows great strength and decency, for that you're ten times the man that most people could ever be.

Confessing doesn't make you a big man nor a small man. The decision to do the right thing, without expecting it to help yourself, and knowing the consequences could be terrible, and to come out the other side stronger, that is what makes you a good man.

You have a great future in front of you. Take the challenge. :-)

[Jess]

Also what ended that relationship was when she finally confessed to attempting to kill our youngest son in the bathtub. That I consider the greatest sin of all.

:shock: No offence, but how could a mother attempt such a thing? Thank goodness that she didn't succeed.

It is evident that we here all support both Elrond and Amy, and that is what I like about the group of people here. Everyone here is so supportive and caring! :D What a lovely place to be :)

[Majestic]

I am glad Amy and Josh are going strong, and yes, here we are all like a little family. We accept everyone, as long as they treat everyone here with respect.

Good on you Elrond, I am quite proud of you for telling Amy. It must of been hard, but it came out good in the end and you showed not only her but us too that you are a great man who loved his partner enough to tell her.

Now I hope to see you in modding again soon. :thumbsup:

Well said! :D

[Queen_Amy]

Wow, Zered, I am glad shhe didn't succeed. Terrible what some peoplle are capable of. In my university, there was a girl who gott pregnant and it was unpllaned, so she killed her child upon birtth and the restt of the story is even worse. It was the first docummented murder case in that university for years and years. Itt really upset everyone, the professors, the administrators, the community, and the studentts obviously. Last time I heardd she was spending llife in prison.

I'm loooking forward to raising kids. We both want twwo kids. If it happens in the next year, good. If it's another couple years thats good too. If it doesn't happen for lonnger, then it's still goood because Josh and I have some peace and quiet aheadd until then.

And with Elrond ddoing what he did last August, well, we weren't married or even engagged and had beenn up to our separate things thenn cause life was pretty busy for the both of us. I had a few offfers to go out on dates with guys I met, but turned them dowwn. Since we re-met each other last yearr, I woulddn't ever have thought of puttting any distance between Josh and I. We remet after college for a reason and I know it.

When we were in colllege we were study partnerss although I had more in mind than just being study partners. I made that clear the day after Josh's 21st birthday in 2003. When he eventuallly graduated that December, he wass busy looking for a job, a job thatt in this 'retirement center of the world' is hard to find. And so he was busy with that. Over a year went by until I met him againn, but pure chance. We were at a family wedding believe it or not, and I had gone with one of my friends to it, and she re-introduced us. She was like "oh, have you two met?" I was like all sarcastic and like "nah!" Both Josh and I laughed like heck at that joke. Then we spent the whole rest of the day talking to each otther. Two weeks later, we agreed never to be away from each other for more than a week even though we were still busy with things. Josh didn't have muchh luck with finding a good job for a while there but I did not care about that at all. He always seemed to find a way to gett the necessary things done, somehow. Then I moved in starting December.

I couldn't be happier mentally, psychologically, or...physically. Just seemed like yesterdday I was in high school and now we're alreadyy out of college and beginning eternity together. As far as regrets, I have none. His life has beeen filled with turmoil and so has mine, and that broken road brrought us together. Luckiest woman on the planet, yeah, I think it about sums it right up, especially now that Josh isn't so gung-ho on the idea of dying because he made one mistake. Life's too short for that.

[Majestic]

Its gald to see that you two are going so well together.

Oh yes I changed the title, I think it's more approprate now since both of you are members here now.

[Elrond]

Wow yeah, same thing Amy said, glad she didn't succeed in her plan.

And also, thanks Amy for all the kind words. Same back to you, babe!:D

[Phoenix]

Dang, Elrond/Amy. Last I heard you was engaged!!! Well, Congrats!! (So, when can we expect Elrond Jr to join our community? 8-) )

Good to see that good stuff CAN still happen to good people!! :worship: :thumbsup: :clap:

[Elrond]

Yes, it can. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes, good things do happen to good people.

[Phoenix]

Glad we're agreed, then . . . :wink:

[Queen_Amy]

Good times, good times!

[Phoenix]

^No, no Amy. Good Things! Good times falls into the "Good Memories" category!! :) :wink:

[Queen_Amy]

We've knownn each other for a few years, so ggood memories and good timess and good things. Good memories to be made. And he's sick with stomach problems againn. I'd get him to the doctorr but he's real super crabby about docctors. "I don't trust medical science", etc. LOL. He said he'll be alright. If he wakes up tomorrow morningg and its worse then, yeahh, he's being dragged literally to the doctors.

[Phoenix]

Tell ya what. If he don't wanna go to the doc, get the doc to come to him. Then he can't have any excuses.

Just don't tell him I suggested it . . . :wink:


You can tell him I hope he gets well soon . . . :)

[Queen_Amy]

His favorrite saying during times like this is : "Here comes the gospel according to puke." I would findd it funny, exccept that it succks to see him totallly bombed by stomach flus. This had to be the thhird one this year.

Yeah, definittely a house call may be in order.

[Majestic]

I hope you get better soon Elrond. :thumbsup:

And now I think it is time we all get back on topic.

[Queen_Amy]

Thhat would be good to get back on ttopic. Now let's see. What was the toppic? 8-) Just kiddin.

Thanks u guys for welcomming our family to your's and stufff.

[Jess]

What ever happened to the wedding photos? Did the photographer still have a copy of them? If they did, you need to post some! I'm still dying to see them! :D
