Holds up bags of bird food for not what you’d expect. You need to move into the 21st century.
OMG, you guys are soooo cute together.
I hope that in 50 years, one of those pics will be on your hospital bed as you close your eyes for the last time.
And for the record, I liked both of the ties.
Congratulations!
Mr. Mallard and I have very different senses of style. He has a good eye and likes keeping up with the world, while I just like green and / or quirky things.
I was down in Washington running errands, and wanted to get a tie. I spent an hour choosing a nice shirt and tie, and then skyped him from the McDonald’s parking lot to show him. "Well, it’s not what I would have chosen. . . " he said. So I went away, had lunch, and realized that although I disagreed about the tie, he had a point about the shirt. So I took them back (the tie also had a stain) and looked at several hundred other ties. I wanted something between “corporate drone” and “Jerry Garcia,” surprisingly hard to find. Finally I found one I really loved at JC Penney. When I brought it back home, I was already a little insecure and we had a little pre-wedding-tension moment (=fight). In frustration, he said, “it’s fine, but it looks like something a 75-year-old vacuum cleaner salesman from Topeka would wear.” He apologized, sort of, by saying that he’d never actually been to Topeka! Afterwards we thought the whole thing was really funny, and so that’s how I think of the tie. We found the shirt for it together the next day.
No rice (or birdseed): it was a very simple wedding, just us and two old friends as witnesses. The cake was supplied by the restaurant where we married. We had lunch (burger for me, halibut burger for the Mr.), and then they brought us a strawberry / mascarpone / phyllo thing, which was delicious.
Congratulations! May you have as many years of happiness as there are stars in the sky!
Yaaaaaaay! I just gave you a round of applause from my room 
Congratulations! You both look very happy. While I may not agree with your choice of attire (or either tie) I will defend to the death your right to be legally married while wearing them. May your tie be the worst thing you ever fight about.
congratulations!
I guess my age is showing. I totally forgot about bubbles. I should have said bubbles.
Congratulations! You two looked so happy together. And I thought both ties were cute.
Heartfelt congratulations! I wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
I’m afraid I disapprove of this strenuously. You’ve seriously damaged the sanctity of the institution of marriage by your actions. I mean, really. Wearing that tie. What were you thinking?
Congratulations on the actual getting-married thing though.
Wonderful news! and I like the tie.
Congratulations! I think both ties are absolutely hideous and you must wear them on each and every anniversary. Perhaps in even years you can swap!
[Wet blanket]You know this means that you have to start fighting tooth and nail, like every other married couple, right…? [/WB]
Congratulations!
(And I have no opinion about the ties. I don’t do ties and I have no fashion sense… so… [yes, I’m straight. Why do you ask? :o :)])
I thought your tie was gorgeous with the purple shirt. Very drake-like. Mallards mate for life right? Congratulations!
So you’ll just have to stay in Canada with all the rest of the good-hearted people.
(I like your tie just fine.)
I agree. It’s like his fiance was dragon him to the altar. 
You know, the mallard-colouring didn’t even occur to me, though it should have.
Add me to the list of congraters! Equality for all!
