Yes, folks, it’s almost time. The lovely **Anniz** and I are getting married this weekend.

Sunday afternoon, actually. Sunday afternoon at 1.30 Pacific time, to be specific. For those on the East coast of the US, that’s 4.30pm. For those of you in Europe, it’ll be 10.30pm.

We’re getting married at the [Viva Las Vegas Chapel](http://www.vivalasvegasweddings.com) on the Strip in Las Vegas. Yes, Elvis will be performing our wedding.

The nice thing about the VLV Chapel is that they do live webcasting of their weddings, so everyone can and is invited to watch. All you need is RealPlayer and to click [this link](http://www.vivalasvegasweddings.com/live_internet_weddings.htm) to get to the page for viewing the wedding.

We’ve also created [this page](http://www.weintraub.nu/wedding/) on my web site to give all the necessary information people will need to view the wedding. For those without RealPlayer, there’s also a standard [web cam](http://www.earthcam.com/usa/nevada/lasvegas/weddingcam/) that doesn’t have video or audio (so you won’t get to hear Elvis sing “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” “Love Me Tender,” and “Viva Las Vegas” to us).

The wedding should be pretty short, less than fifteen minutes long, so I’m glad we’re getting a video tape so we can remember it. Of course, we’ll have pictures galore, and the webcast will be archived on their site (and ours) for future cyber-viewings.

We’re welcoming all to view it and to celebrate with us. As for a Dopefest, we’re moving to a new apartment in October and sometime after we’ve settled in we’ll invite all our DC Doper friends over to drink our beer and ogle my CD collection.

No, seriously, **Montfort** , I know we like to go at it here, no matter what sports season it is – but I honestly think you’re a pretty cool cat.

Congrats on the wedding, good luck to both you and **Anniz** , and have fun in Vegas.

Okay . . . you know how diehard a Braves fan I am. You know this, I know this, and probably half of friggin’ MPSIMS knows this.

If the Phillies win and the Braves lose on Sunday I will not be disappointed. In your honor.

Wouldn’t want baseball to ruin an otherwise lovely day;)

Oh, and good luck and everything, too . . .

I know that I’m going to be putting some money on the Eagles/Seahawks game that starts 15 minutes before the wedding. But, I didn’t think of betting on the Phillies/Braves the. I wonder if I can get some good odds on the Phils winning the division… 🙂

Anyway, thanks everyone!

**Montfort** , buddy, friend of mine (guy who gave me a ride to a dopefest about a year ago), I love you and all, so I hope you’ll understand me when I say this to you:

I can’t bear the thought of taking money away from you . . . even if it is due to the Phillies losing the division to the Braves.
