Was he holding a cup of coffee? You should’ve ordered him to put it down. 🙂

Anyways, congrats!!!

Aw, I remember way back when you were just a wee domestic partner. Now look at you! A great big domestic partner going off to get married. You stay away from those Baldwins!

Congrats. Reading this from the Waldorf after a very interesting day in midtown, so it particularly resonates.

We wish you a happy wedding,

and a wonderful life.

Fuck not being the right season for the tune, it’s the right reason for the lyrics.

Next time you hire a musician to play in the park for you while you propose, hire one that plays the flute.

Much happiness to you both and here’s to hoping there won’t be a next time.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Best Wishes to you Both!

PS- I have No Idea how to ask Alec Baldwin to your wedding. I mean, I’ve heard he might be on twitter & you might post pics of your wedding proposal & the pics with him in it to his account, but the truth is you’ll probably only get an  
**Awww** from the assistant to the assistant to the assistant of the Social Media division of his production company. Even if he did see it, it could be seen as “arm twisting” and he might not respond at all.

Of course, you could just Thank him. Something like,  
“Who knew that the Woman of my Dreams would say Yes?  
The Shadow Knew…!”
