Who got married to someone on the Dope, and met that person here? I just read the **sperfur** / **withaK** thread, and I’m wondering how many other couples there are. Is it in the neighborhood of eight, a dozen, what? ---

Offhand, these are the married couples I can think of off the top of my head who met through the SDMB. I’m sure there are more that I’ve missed. Anniz and Montfort Geobabe and UncleBill Ellenfair and lno GingeroftheNorth and Weirddave MsRobyn and AirmanDoors If you want to count couples who aren’t married, there’s lots and lots more. ---

Whoohoo!!! Go, go, go Mr. and Ms. **Clogfire**! Also, while I’m not sure they met on _this_ board, they did meet on the 'net, and they’re both members: **Sealemon** and **Bubble Girl** (née **Shanin** ) I attended those nuptials. As well I attended nuptials for **Mr. Cynical** and **Miss Creant** with a dozen or so other Dopers (are y’all still with us?). On preview, best of luck to **Perse** and **Euty** , too! ---

Oh good heavens, I almost forgot. **True Pisces** and **Verrain.** Gracious. You’d think I’d remember that one. Seeing as how I like, \actually participated in the ceremony.\ I’m such a bad friend. And thanks, **Ringo!** You’ll be on the guest list. 😉 ---

**Shayna** and **Spiny Norman** also met at a DopeFest, in Amsterdam, and married later in California. Gracias, **Ringo**! There was a 3 page thread on it, you know. 🙂 **vanilla** : believe it or not, my cute wife-to-be said the following words when we decided on the date: _“That way, I can only get mad at you for forgetting our wedding day once every four years”_. Now, is that a keeper, or _what_?? 😃 ---

Some say I got marrried because I’m a dope; others because I was on dope. But, you know what? After looking at **auntie em** every morning, I say that if I _hadn’t_ married her, I would have been Da’ Dumb Dope. As it stands, however, my decision was dope!
