And not just because we're in NZ. As some of you did guess, the previous post was indeed an April Fool's joke. We would've stepped in to correct things earlier, but we're in the Catlins area right now, which is backcountry even by NZ standards and there's very little internet access (we're at a local guy's house right now, actually).
So apologies to everyone who was taken in by our ruse, but we thought we'd hardly fool anyone with this little joke. No hard feelings, right? My original idea was to say we'd been deported after accidentally running over a bunch of sheep, but Becky thought this was a better joke... We had no idea about the depth of emotion about us and our potential nuptials, but it is nice to hear, especially on the other side of the world. Thanks to everyone for all the heartfelt congratulations, and rest assured that we do feel adequately chastised.
P.S. We promise to play no more marriage jokes on anyone, and that from now on you can take everything you read on the blog as the truth. It was nice to get all the comments from everyone!

Thank goodness. We thought we were going to have to call you Uncle Andrew instead of THE EVIL ANDROID!
G-Lo and I agree: you guys SUCK!!! Although, I win the office pool for betting this was a scam. Krista will be devastated and may never stop toasting hot dogs. Now I understand why we can't get through on the phone. You should call the blog, "Hiding from our Families in New Zealand".
Scott here.
Funny.....like cancer!
Lesson #1.....you never joke about topics like marriage or children.
Let there not be a need for Lesson #2....
And as I mentioned in my now deflated congratulatory posting....this was a cruel joke.
We TOTALLY agree with JT and G-Lo...YOU SUCK!
And, the next post on your "Hiding from our families in New Zealand" Blog should be called..."Extending our stay in NZ".....why? 'cause if you pull another stunt like this the schnauzer will formally take you both out of his will!
