Thanks for all the good wishes. The Druidess is not a Doper, but she knows I hang out here.

> She’s the finest Judge it’s ever been my privilege to practice in front of during my 16 years of lawyering. I don’t always win in front of her, but she listens to all of the evidence, and will bend over backwards to be fair to all parties. If I tell her I need to be heard, she’ll find a way to fit me in, no matter how crowded her docket may be–not just me, but any lawyer.

Isn’t it deplorable how some people will read this and be tempted to make bad innuendoes? But not me! 😉

Congratulations!

You’re still _practicing_ law? Isn’t it about time you actually did it?

Probably explains the marriage delay too.

Orrf orrf orrf! ::seal laughter::

Yup, a matter of hours now. I’m about to get in the shower, and The Druidess is a whirlwind of activity. In about 4 hours, I’ll be married. Wow. Never really thought this would happen for me.

Thanks again for all the good wishes.

Mazal tov and congratulations! Please post photos!

And I agree with the sentiment, “Wow.” My bride and I were saying “Wow!” to each other _during the ceremony._
