Wow! I was wondering if I’d find an excuse to have a drink tonight. Now you’ve given me one. Thanks! Congratulations! It’s MHO that marriage, if you find the right person, is possibly the best idea the human race has come up with since fire! 🙂 ---

Congrats to you, **DMark** , and best wishes to your partner! (One is never supposed to offer the bride congratulations, and since you’re the one who expected the goats and knockwurst, I’m making an assumption. Certain formalities must be observed – even in Vegas – lest Emily Post spin in her grave.) ---

So you and your partner have been faithfully committed for over 28 years? It’s people like you who are destroying traditional marriage. :mad: Just kidding. Congratulations, may you have many, many more happy decades ahead. ---

Twenty eight and a half years? That’s longer than _all_ of Liz Taylor’s marriages. I think it’s obscene that we don’t have this partrnership law in every state. > [@DMark](#): > > We are registered at Tiffany’s, the Mercedes showroom and Walmart. I’ll get you a couple of those plastic placemats at WalMart. ---
