The image that comes to my twisted mind is of Jubal Harshaw hollering, “Front!” and commencing dictation of a story entitled, “I Was Satan’s Bride.”

Seriously, congratulations and all the best to you both!

NTG - I think their wedding music should be “Up There” from the South Park movie!

Hooray!

Congratulations, you two. May you have a happy, fun, make-the-plaster-fall-off-the-ceiling-from-your-wild-monkey-sex kind of marriage.

And let us know where you’ll be registered.

Many, many good wishes to both. All of life changes when one is accompanied by a true mate. I am happy for you.

RTFirefly - Hilarious thought about Jubal hollering “Front!” with another new story idea. LOL, and will smile suddenly and inapproprately at spontaneous moments throughout the remainder of the day. 🙂

There better be beer at the wedding. I’m not flying 3000 miles and not getting beer.

Thanks, you guys. Once this thread dies, we’re printing it out and saving it, of course. You all are great.

**CONGRATS!**

Reminds me of when I was in NY in '98 and saw a guy propose on Valentine’s Day in the middle of the ice rink at Rockefeller Plaza. Tres romantic. Well done, Satan!

Well there may be an on-line version of the wedding, please can we not do an on-line honeymoon party? (But if we do, can Eve and Katy do the Victorian bit again. Oh, and I also want to invite—sorry! Not my moment.)

Congratulations, they saved Satan’s Brain!

I already said hi to you in your other thread, but seeing you here requires something else entirely.

R-I-C-K! RICK RICK RICK! He’s the one with the long…hair!

Well, not anymore. But it’s the thought that counts, eh?

I love you, man…I assume this means that Chrissie has sent this thread out, and I can expect a giant influx of all of my old high-school buddies posting on the MB now. I’m not sure what to think of that. 😉

Wow! Satan, Drain, let me the be the first to congratulate you![1] All the best.

I’m getting married as well, this Halloween, to a wonderful woman named Beth. (Yeah, I settled down with a woman. Won’t my parents be happy?) Okay, it’s actually on October 28th, since getting married on a Tuesday just seemed wrong, but that’s _almost_ Halloween… and if it’s good enough for Anton LaVey’s death, it’s good enough for my marriage. 😉
