So here's to you, Mrs. Armitage

-
Before I completely forget, I have to quick recall what little I remember of a dream I had last night:

Richard Armitage had got married.

♫ "IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!" ♫

His new missus was an author and scriptwriter, but not well-known at all. Not heard of full stop, I should say. They had met on set of ... Captain America or something?

It made perfect sense for them to get married as well, they seemed well-matched, even though there was no way for us of really knowing who on earth she was, aside from a small picture. She was pretty, but not in a Hollywood way. Believably pretty, you could say. Fairly ordinary, like the rest of us.

It was all very sudden, we fans didn't even know he was dating and suddenly, we get the news that he's married, and we're all left with a feeling of "huh". But pleased for his sake.

Most peculiar. I wonder what that's meant to symbolise.

    I had a dream he was married last November (go figure!). There was a function he was attending and I remember feeling very relieved he was no longer single as the organisers didn't have to worry about a group of fans who wanted to get to know him on a personal level. I can't remember any more than that except that like you, the marriage came as a complete surprise to many people who weren't expecting it. :)

    I had a dream like this a few weeks ago. It consisted of me opening up my browser and logging onto email and discovering that the major fan sites had reported that he had married and was honeymooning at an undisclosed location. They didn't say who he was married. It was a very brief dream, and the main sensation I had with it was thinking how odd it was that no one was angry or depressed -- it was just like business as usual for the Armitage fandom.

    Boyfriend has really gotten around the last few nights. Lucas was in a dream I had a few nights ago, too, but no one was getting married.

    That's exactly it, servetus! Spot on! No anger, no sadness, just a feeling of "Oh ... okay ... well ... good for him!" and then everyone went about their business. I mean, in the dream, even us bloggers didn't have much to say more than "uh yeah, apparently he went and got married ... So yeah, good luck to the happy couple!" A kind of emotional void. Just a statement of fact. "He got married. Thought you should know."

    I even remember being angsty in the dream (even though it was a short one) that I had only dreamt of it, because it was so sudden. "This did actually happen, right? I haven't just made it up?" And the irony is of course that yes, it WAS made up, it was just a dream!

    When he does get married it will probably (in the best Armitage tradition) be all done very quietly, and we probably won't know until a year later or something!!!!

    Ok, so I glimpsed the little preview for this post on my dashboard and all my brain processed was the wedding photo, "Richard Armitage" and "wedding", and I had this momentary panic reaction of "Richard got married?!/Have I really been so out of the loop lately that I missed this?!". Thanks for starting my morning with that little extra jolt! :)

    I agree, kaprekar. If he ever does it, we'll be the last to hear :)

    kaprekar/servetus: Agreed! Probably just a small notice in the newspaper. Like in the dream.

    VABookworm87: LOL! I took the Starbucks with an extra shot of coffee instead. ;D

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

The Quest to read everything Jane Eyre

...before they go as mad as the secret wife in the attic? I aim to find out! :) This is where it all began. Okay, I don't mean I aim to read Jane Eyre prequels, sequels, spin-offs and inspired bys/based ons until I actually go insane, more like, how many can I manage to read before I get thoroughly fed up with the whole thing. Here's the cunning plan ... (updated 13 December 2012)

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why
