I share your joy. My best friend finally got married. Not legally. Ok, your news is way cooler than mine. But it was a beautiful wedding, and they were beautiful brides. ---

**mazol tov** I guess I should add that my BIL and BIL just made it official last weekend. My wife, FIL and MIL were able to fly out. My other BIL and SIL had to cancel out due to hurricane though. I stayed home with the kids having just returned from Florida. ---

> [@Nava](#): > > Congratulations to your aunts! > > **Cookies** , you do realize weā€™ll want pics, right? No you donā€™t. We could very well be in frumpy shorts and t-shirts (which is what we usually wear) and rushing through everything on a lunch break. We had our commitment ceremony last spring, in Zion Natā€™l Park, and this will merely be socially progressive paperwork. There are pictures of the ceremony, but I kinda hate them all as Iā€™m not particularly photogenic. šŸ˜› [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-aunts-have-gotten-married/462126.md?page=2)
