Congratulations! (Somehow my heterosexual marriage appears to be totally unaffected by this event. It’s almost like there was no assault on it _at all_. I’m puzzled.) ---

Congratulations! I’m very happy for you guys, and more than a little envious; same-sex marriage is a long way off where we live . . . but we’re working on it. I think you have much better taste in men than in ties. At least your priorities are straight. ---

All best wishes. And apparently your matrimony is recognized fully in Straight Dope Land. Maybe one day the rest of the world will catch up. ---

Your husband is right, the tie **is** hideous. But so was his jacket. :-p Congratulations from me too! ---

Many congratulations! I had the pleasure of meeting you when you were an unmarried man. I’m sure you’re _vastly_ changed now. 😃 ---

Congrats, Dr. Drake! I remember still with fondness the help you were when I needed some Cornish translation work done, the fact that you chose to get married up here in the Great White North (you weren’t anywhere near Winnipeg, were you? If so, why didn’t you come and say hi?) confirms your smarts even more. May your marriage last long enough to see the US come to its senses and recognize your marriage as well, and for many decades after that. ---

**Asimovan** : Vastly, vastly changed, or exactly the same, or something. It does feel like something has changed, but we can’t put our finger on how. Perhaps smarter: after meeting you years ago and seeing zillions of posts, I just now figured out your username. **dhkendall** : Vancouver—nowhere near Winnipeg! I do work with Manitobans, though, which is a change from California where they’re pretty thin on the ground. ---

Grats, and I don’t think the tie is that bad, and you guys make a cute couple. Nope, no ripples in the continuum here in CT either. Though we didn’t get any wedding cake either ☹ 😃 ---
