> [@Sunspace](#): > > I have vague memories of **Scuba\_Ben** posting in threads talking about being unable to meet someone, and then posting in threads giving advice on how to meet someone, and then silence, and now this! Obviously something worked! I took my own advice. 🙂 As for how we met and hit it off, my lady tells the story far better than I can. > [@DMark](#): > > Big time congrats! > And don’t worry - we will never mention the Las Vegas Dopefest when you were running naked down the hallways of Bellagio, belting out showtunes from Fiddler, and holding a half empty bottle of Manischewitz wine… > > Maybe you could take your honeymoon here? :rolleyes: It wasn’t _Fiddler_, it was various Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. And it was DEFINITELY not Manishewitz, it was a real wine. I’m pretty sure you’re right about the Bellagio, though. 🙂 ---
