Okay, it’s still Bob’s Birthday Eve where he is (mountain time zone), but it’s just turned midnight here, and it’s 1 am Hatrack time, and I’ll be away from the computer all day tomorrow (today?) so I thought I’d start the thread now.
He hasn’t been checking Hatrack while on the road, but Wednesday is a “writing day,” so since he’ll be at the computer anyway, he might.
Anyway, you all get the party started without us, and if he hasn’t checked in on his own, I’ll tell him to look when I talk to him tonight.
Happy Birthday, darling!

Which Bob's birthday is it? Bob scopatz or bob the lawyer?

Yes, dkw is posting a birthday thread for BtL...
Unless you are joking, in which case this really doesn't make much sense.

Or is that a Jewish thing?
Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
The ones I’ve officiated have all started on time. Even the one where the groom forgot the license and had to drive home 15 minutes before the ceremony to fetch it.
Note to Bob – This would not work for us. Our ceremony is over 30 miles from home.

Catholic wedddings start on time usually. They have to be in a church in most diocese, and they have to get all the weddings in before Satruday night Mass, so they're real strict about it. Also, lots of the couples use the full Mass form of the ceremony, so there's just no time to futz around.
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB!

I think we can simplify this simply by saying that he's Older, or O.

This is technically true, but any Bishop can give an exemption. In some diocese this is never done, in most it's done very, very, very rarely. I've heard of some where they're granted routinely, but maybe this is a Catholic urban myth.

Just remember, you are not as old as you look...

Your not as young as you feel...
no, that's not right either.
How about, Hey, its Bob Oldpatz?
Well, you know what I'm trying to say. Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Dan, That's SpongeBob Oldpantz to you.
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
Well...this is a wonderful thread. Thank you all for the good wishes. I'm tempted to say that this thread has made this the best birthday ever, but that would be a lie.
It is, in fact, the best birthday ever, but for an entirely different reason. Which I really should make you guess at.
But ...
<spoiler alert>
I won't.
dkw is HERE! I'm on a business trip 11 hours from Iowa, and she DROVE HERE!!!
Yes! Right here! She's chuckling as I write this.
She's easily amused.
She must love me or something.
Now top THAT for the best birthday ever!
Oh yeah, this was a total surprise. I was sitting on the toilet and someone pounded on the door. I was like "oh cr@p!" And I yelled "what is it!"
Someone says "package for you."
So, I get decent and open the door to find...
DANA!
Oh, and gifts!
(oh, she didn't pound on the door. It was more of a rapping, gently tapping on my chamber door.)

Urban legend.
Or clergy breaking the rules.
I had a LOT of personal friends in the clergy (including a couple of bishops)--I almost was a member myself. And I could not get any kind of exception on this when I got married. What I was told was that this came specifically from the Vatican, and that the memos or whatever that the US Catholic Bishops had sent out were quite specific.

**** Now to go off-topic..
Tony and I are being married by a Catholic priest and not in a church. (In a garden, actually. )
It's not going to be a catholic ceremony though - but we still had to write to the archbishop to get special permission for Father Mike to marry us.
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
As you said, though, it's not a Catholic ceremony.
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
Yeah. I didn't know if that made a difference (mine is not the catholic side of the union).
Still I thought it was interesting. And it was a very grovelling letter we had to send.
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
*nod*
I would think it makes a difference, because you're basically just using the priest as a Justice of the Peace.
As a non-Catholic, you must have really enjoyed having to grovel to get your officiant!

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
Well, I used to be Catholic, and basically they aren't very flexible on the wedding place thing. If you want a Catholic wedding, you get married in church. Period.
You barely get a say in the readings or vows -- there are alternates to select, but many priests will not allow you to write your own.
