โฆyes, itโs official. I know some of you are already aware, but **jsgoddess** and I became engaged on February 11, 2011.
Thus, her decision to offer me her ear and phone number one night fourteen months ago continues to haunt her. ๐

If you marry a goddess, are you elevated to geek god? Or do you have to go thru the usual labors?

And another Doper Bachelor bites the dust.
Welcome to the club, man. Gotta warn yaโฆthe whole wedding thing is a helluva lot more complicated than it looks from the outside. I thought, being the groom, I mostly had to show up reasonably sober and wearing a tux. Stand up straight, donโt scratch your ass or balls during the ceremony, try not to fart during the picture taking, do a spotlight dance, and out the door to honeymoon sex.
I am now learning, to my utter shock and horror, that it just doesnโt work that way. Weddingsโฆthey make the sane woman you asked to marry you go apeshit about stuff guys find incomprehensible.
So, again, welcome to the club. Shall we drink to our loss of freedom?
