Right now I'm aiming for "not freaking out too bad".
Not "not at all" just "not too bad".
But thanks, man, I appreciate it. I'm thinking we're actually gonna... do something a little different, called handfasting. Means we get a year for him to get over being weird about it before the actual wedding.
Thinking I'll tell him right before we go do it. Keep him from fretting himself out of his skin for weeks beforehand. Then we'll get it over with and he'll move straight into fretting about the marriage part. Skip some of that worrying.

Sweeney says a few words, we say we commit to marrying in a year, and he ties our hands together. It's an Irish thing.

[B does sound kind of relieved. He thought it was a good idea, but it's nice to have confirmation.]
Gonna do it on his birthday.

...I think he'll love it.
Re: Audio
It's tradition, anyway. A kiss was my birthday present to him two years ago.

I look forward to seeing what you got.
