Two weeks ago today, My fantastic, loving fiancee Melissa became my fantastic, loving wife.
She is the most amazing woman and I am a very, very lucky man that she said yes, and then followed it a few months later with an 'I do'.
Don't be mad that I've been rather scarce lately and haven't posted about her before. I was busy being smitten. I was in deep smit. Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :
Congratulations!

Can I smit you?
But otherwise: Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :
Congratulations! I have no intentions of going that route any time soon, but good for you.
*Starts wondering if there is a thing for Melissa's this year*
My sister is getting married this coming winter. Her name is Melissa.

You can make it up to us by posting wedding pictures on Foobonic.
Posted by odouls268 (Member # 2145) on :
Ooh. I hadn't thought of it. Damn fine idea.
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
Hah! Good job!
Edit: Blast! I was gonna be first, but the hold music stopped and I was otherwise distracted.
You do realize, however, that being caught up in the arms of your wife and not posting means you are not an official Hatrack addict.

Noemon, coming from you that's strangely ironic.

So...tell us all about it.

Innit though?
Actually I've been thinking about remedying that.

Posted by kacard (Member # 200) on :
You really got married without even telling us or inviting us to the wedding? Amazing.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Whoa! Cool!
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Congratulations!
Now what's her screenname?
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Wow odouls! It's good to see you...and it's really crazy that now you're a married version of your former self. The odouls formerly known as unmarried? Maybe.
Congrats!
(Chris, your post made me laugh out loud!)

Shouldn't you be odouls536 now?
In any case, congrats!

Yes...but no.
It is important to point out that she and I got married in Key West Florida, just the two of us. Her brother is currently serving in Iraq and would have been unable to attend a big ceremony, so we are having a big wedding ceremony upon his return, to which all of our loved ones will be invited and I hope (despite my...well...eloping) all of you Cards will attend as you all fall into the 'loved ones' category. It won't be for at least a year, as her brother has quite a while left in his deployment, but it will happen and you are absolutely invited.

Congrats! Married is a good place to be, providing you're married to the right person...
I also strongly support elopement. It's what we did.
Have a very happy joyously wonderfully peaceful married life together! Posted by Orson Scott Card (Member # 209) on :
OK, David, since your dad hasn't mentioned this marriage of yours to anybody around here, I have to ask. DID YOU EVEN TELL YOUR FATHER? And if not, please stand a little closer so I can strangle you within an inch of your hastily-married life.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Shouldn't you actually stand back and let his dad do the strangling? Posted by Orson Scott Card (Member # 209) on :
No, Rivka. You don't know Policarpo. You can give him a body blow that breaks three ribs, and he'll smile faintly and wonder what he did to deserve it. Then he'll stagger off and write you a thank-you note for waking him to his unworthiness.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
I'll take your word for it.
*stands back and lets Scott strangle odouls*
Posted by odouls268 (Member # 2145) on :
Yes I told my father. I introduced Melissa to him very early on in the relationship and he likes her and approves. He knew we were going to get married beforehand and everything. Mom knew too, and actually, I did tell Emily a couple weeks before i made the plunge too.
But yes, I told Dad, so please let me keep breathing Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :
Congratulations!!! Posted by larisse (Member # 2221) on :
Big huge congrats!
Winter/Spring 2005 is a big wedding time for Hatrack, but hey, look at it this way. You all can remind each other of your anniversaries. And by "you" I mean the guys. (Just kidding. A bit of stereotyping, sorry.)

Probably - the new wife will be understandably curious as to the identity of the mistress demanding all her husband's attention.
