Virtually, of course. I figure hey, everyone else is doing, why can’t I, right? My future virtual husband, Doobieous, and I got engaged to be married about 5 minutes ago in #straightdope. I’m sure we’ll be _very_ happy together. So, wish us well. We’re getting married at the topless drive-thru wedding chapel in Reno, so we don’t need a wedding party. Just your kind words and sincere blessings will be enough. ::blushes:: I’m _so_ happy!!! ---

_watches their virtual happiness through the virtual window as the virtual rain beats down and sniffs. All his dreams and hopes dashed, he’sa shattered man, a broken figure, a mere shadow of the man he used to be. All these feelings and emotions swirling inside him like a chinese pot pouri dinner he turns away to go and write a country music song_ ---

Have you started selecting bridesmaids, etc., or are you eloping? I’m a really good crier, so if you have a wedding with invited guests, I could sit in an aisle seat and sniff audibly (how’s this ::sniff, sniff:: ). -----🙂 —////\\ [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-getting-married/37078.md?page=2)
