**M** and **A**. My most sincere best wishes for your future together. If I may, I’d like to offer you a small quota from Robert Browning. Think of it as but one of many toasts to you both. “Go old along with me, the best is yet to be. The first of life, for which the last was made.” All the best, Dave (Go Flyers.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by omni-not \* > \*\*What’s with the short, Montfort? \*\* Okay, so I was snippy. They were questions he probably could’ve found on his own, by using our good friend Google. I probably could’ve done the research for him, but I answered short, and had I been called out on that in the correct fashion, either in the thread itself, or in the Pit, I’d apologise. But, the newbie dragged this thread up because he saw the link in my sig. Just because I didn’t answer his questions satisfactorally is no reason to piss on my parade. ---

Well, if someone wants to be a jackass and ruin a “happy thread”, he’ll just prove himself a dork . . . But how are you two doing otherwise? When’s the wedding? Can I sing the cheezy barsongs at the reception? 😃 Tripler Because a “happy thread” is a terrible thing to waste. ---

Things are going well. **Anniz** has her interview with the US Embassy in Stockholm next Monday. That will finish a long process of forms, notarized statements, compiling evidence of our relationship, medical exams, and a bit of cash, too. She’s scheduled to return to the US on 1 September, via the K1 fiancee visa she’ll get at the interview on Monday. We’re scheduling the wedding for 23 September, in Las Vegas. No plans for a reception yet, but we’ll keep you posted. ---

I know that you all didn’t expect me to be making the toast here, but I volunteered to fill in after **Montfort** burned the bread. _pause for gales of laughter_ Now, if you’d please: **Anniz** , please put your left hand flat on the table. **Montfort** , please put your right hand on top of **Anniz** ’ left hand. _they do as **Zappo** instructs_ Now, **Montfort** , look at that very carefully and burn this scene into your mind. Because this is the last time you will ever have the upper hand. _pause for more gales of laughter_ Seriously guys, congratulations. It’s wonderful that you found each other and you’ll be together. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness. Two bits of unsolicited advice: 1. Don’t go to bed mad at each other. It’s corny but it’s a good rule. 2. Always, always, _ALWAYS_ tell your spouse that you love them at least once every day. Again, congratulations! Zappo ---

Wow, thanks for bumping this thread, **Zappo**. Today is six months since we were engaged, and I would’ve forgotten if I hadn’t seen the OP while clicking on the link.
