Happy congratulations are in order today for my fave contemporary author, Neil Gaiman, and the love of his life, singer/artist Amanda Palmer, who got themselves engaged to be wed this week. It’s unclear when exactly the couple got themselves engaged but Neil broke the news on his official website last night! Here is the photo and full text of Neil‘s happy (but brief) announcement … They’re gettin’ hitched, y’all!!

Dear The World,

we are going to get married,

signed,

Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman

I am completely and utterly thrilled by this news. It is plainly obvious to anyone even remotely familiar with Neil and Amanda that they are truly, madly and DEEPLY crazy in love with one another … news that they’ve decided to make things official and become a happily married couple is not surprising in the least. I hope you’ll join me in wishing them all the happiness in the world as they embark on this matrimonial journey together and that the couple will, truly, live happily ever after. Congrats!!!
