Re: Benedict's Engagement
I think we should post it here
I like the style, that's so Benedict. Or maybe the parents wanted it like that. And I like "of London" and "of Edinburgh" after the names.
Do you think they'll be married til Hamlet?

Re: Benedict's Engagement
I do hope so! That would be my only negative vibe if this collides with my Hamlet date!
Roar.....

Re: Benedict's Engagement
I think if Sophie is in good hope ( is this a correct circumscription?) they will marry before it´s seen too much. Apart from that spring will be a more beautiful season for a marriage.

Re: Benedict's Engagement
I'm very happy that he has engaged and I wish them good luck and everything that's best. But you know what? I'm even more happy that they managed to keep their relationship in private. I think it's good that at least some aspect of Ben's private life stood hidden from media, he deserves a little privacy 
And I agree with you Phantom - fans who are acting like that aren't fans at all (and probably never were)

Re: Benedict's Engagement
The relationship rumour 1st came out in April and I believed it immediately.
Benedict and Sophie were 1st pictured together in June, but I still wasn't convinced she was the one.
There were a couple more sightings a few months ago...
But the absolute confirmation was when Sophie accompanied Benedict to James Rhodes wedding.
Then there was the engagement rumour..
I actually thought it might happen next year, so they were quicker than I thought!

This! And I've seen a lot of comments in a style of "omg! I feel so betrayed and I 'm gonna lock myself in my room and cry for hundred years cos I 've been in love with him and now all my dreams are crushed etc." I mean, seriously? Geez!

Re: Benedict's Engagement
I have to admit I feel uncomfortable with these pregnancy speculations. I mentioned my friend's reaction only for fun, but I think that matter is too intimate unless they want us to know.

Re: Benedict's Engagement
Yeah, at the moment the engagement is official,...but I guess everything else is kind of speculation.
And anyway, in 21st century UK...nobody HAS to get married.

Re: Benedict's Engagement
Well we just don't know....
Except Benedict would like children...
But I'm assuming they'll marry 1st.
If that's what you meant(Shrugs).

Re: Benedict's Engagement
Well, depends how personal it gets. Some things should remain private. I think we will hear soon enough about a possible baby.

Re: Benedict's Engagement
Oh sorry, I misunderstood or badly explained!
I don't want speculation on a baby...I thought it was on Benedict's and Sophie's OTP name!
