Benedict's Engagement
Today, Benedict announced his engagement to Sophie Hunter via the Times (see links below), and I'm dismayed to see that some people are already freaking out.

Re: Benedict's Engagement
Yes, we already had that in the " talk lovely" thread. In the cosy world of this forum we are mostly happy for him. 
I find the way they announced it in the Times somehow very endearing

And I'm glad about that. I saw some comments where people said they were stopping being a fan now. It did remind me of Take That breaking up- the drama! 
Our forum is very lovely.

Re: Benedict's Engagement
They make a very beautiful pair together.

I´m so happy for them!

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: Benedict's Engagement
But seriously! Whoever stops being a fan now was never truly in the first place!
And if that means Benedict has less madness in his life now, well, good for him!

Re: Benedict's Engagement
Whoever stops being a fan now is just plain stupid, if you ask me. Or indeed has been a fan for all the wrong reasons anyway.

Re: Benedict's Engagement
Exactly, Solar.
My hero since nearly 30 years is married for the second time and has 5 children. And I still AM a fan.
Will be the same with Benedict.
But 5 children ... could be exhausting, Benedict.

Definitely.
Let's hope the best for him (and Sophie).

@ mrshouse
I am a child of the 80s and the singer of 80s pop band Spandau Ballet, Tony Hadley, will always be my idol.
Benedict is a slightly new but very intensive passion.

Re: Benedict's Engagement
Wanda should rather throw rice instead, not confetti. Sophie is not exactly young for first babies anymore, they better hurry up!

Maybe they already ... spreading rumours ...
How old is she? 36? That's not to old nowadays.
