I got engaged to a newt once during a heavy NyQuil binge… but luckily sobered up before the wedding… what? ---

IIRC, **Brynda** and **RickQ** found each other here and got married. ---

A soap opera update (or, I have really, really good news and really, really, really bad news): **Heloise** and **Coldfire** have been added to the list: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=242474](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=242474) For those who haven’t heard, there’s a sticky at the top of MPSIMS about the very unexpected and tragic death of **Persephone**. She and **Eutychus** had found each other on the SDMB, and were planning a 2005 wedding. My heart goes out to Patrick (Euty). ---

Indirectly, me ( **thinksnow** ) and **laserkitty** , if you count SDMB leading to LJ, where I met Nikki. ---

What about **Zyada** and **RJK**? I forget… are they married, or engaged, or just seriously involved? I know **Aglarond** is getting married in May, as I have received an invitation. I don’t think his fiance is a Doper, though. After **Ziactrice** blew me off, I had to find [somebody else](http://www.freecfm.com/p/psiekier/wedding.html). 😉 ---

Engaged right now, but married soon. Just when depends on the INS. ---

She and **Eutychus** had found each other on the SDMB, and were planning a 2005 wedding. My heart goes out to Patrick (Euty). This was the first thread I thought of when I heard the news… I didn’t want to bump it but I thought she’d sounded so happy when she posted and then… ☹ ---

**Drachillix** introduced me to the Dope the first time I had dinner at his house—a ruse to lure me into the bedroom, I’m sure. Now we’re married with 2 computers networked and the SDMB on the linkbars. ---

**todd33rpm** and I met on the SD. Our first near-date was a Dopefest in Indy. We aren’t married yet, but it’s in the works…and we’re closing on a house in a couple of weeks. 🙂 You gotta admire any man who’s willing to risk life and limb by diving into THIS bunch of kids, dogs, cats, and chaos. But that’s the kind of guy he is. Plus he’s a hottie. Best, karol [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-got-married-because-of-the-dope/227101.md?page=1)
