Two years ago, I posted [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=545824) about a chance get-together with **jsgoddess** and the possibility of an unexpected turn of events in what had been a very bad year for me. A year later, I posted another thread, celebrating a year of us dating and a return to the scene of the crime in Las Vegas. And now, I can tell you that we have once again returned to our original Vegas meeting place for a third straight year. Yesterday, in a small, quiet and lovely ceremony, she and I became husband and wife. I’m so lucky to have her in my life, and so proud to be her husband, and so thankful to all of you who were so supportive through the bad times (that seem so long ago now) and cheering us on in our relationship. Thanks to all of you! A special thank you to Doper **Brynda** , whose mischievous encouragement helped us get together in the first place. ---
