Thanks for the nice thoughts!

[jody]

12. Congratulations and resolve "never to go to sleep, mad at each other"

:hi:

[AnnabelLee]

13. That's absolutely wonderful

I'm so very happy for both of you.:-):toast::party:

[JanMichael]

18. I agree, it's pretty cool.

I would announce it on the show tomorrow but alas I've yet to inform my parents of the recent events...

That'll be next weekend!

[AnnabelLee]

27. I didn't tell my mother

& her husband when I got married for the second time...she figured it out when she noticed we were both wearing wedding rings.;-)

[silverweb]

[Amaya]

17. Happy life to you both!!

Love is in the air on DU! :loveya:

[Generic Other]

19. I just read this

You are supposed to congratulate the groom, because he was a lucky guy, but you wish the bride good luck because...well...because she needs it. So there you go.

The etiquette of wedded bliss.

[JanMichael]

26. Sounds reasonable to me.

I'm lucky, she needs luck.

It's true.

[kcr]

20. Congratulations

But Dude, why are you spending your honeymoon here? :)

[JanMichael]

23. The "honeymoon" won't be until next February.

We'll be off to London.

Actually this is a totally unconventional marriage. We only got married for one reason, we love each other, and the alternatives melt in comparison.

No big wedding, no rings, no witnesses...Just us.

[liberalhistorian]

35. Ah, but that's really the best kind of wedding there is,

just the two of you, you don't need a big, fancy, expensive wedding and reception with everyone in the world present in order to have a good wedding. The two people involved and their relationship are the really important thing.

I've never been married, but I get the sense that you and your lovely bride have gotten off to a wonderful start and that you're going to have a great life together! May it be so!

[blm]

48. That's beautiful....

mr. blm and I did the same. We didn't elope, just didn't make a bigger deal out of it. We really just wanted to be married to each other. That's it. I understand exactly how you feel. All the best to both of you.

[ewagner]

74. That IS the best kind of wedding

My bride and I did the same thing: 29 years ago.

Congrats :toast:

[Birthmark]

22. Congratulations, JM!

I hope your marriage is as happy as mine has been. (Coming up on 20 years!) :)

[JanMichael]

25. Thanks bro'!

20 years?! I thought you were younger than me!? Just kidding...

How's tricks?

[Birthmark]

30. Nah, I'm old.

46 in a few more weeks. :(

Life's been slow and boring - just the way I like it.

[Individualist]

24. Congrats JanMichael

May the two of you have a long and happy life together. :toast:

[DemoTex]

28. Congratulations JanMichael and Stephanie!

Is Stephanie a DUer too?

[JanMichael]

34. Yes!

Thtwudbeme!

You know her, no?

[DemoTex]

49. Great! That's who I thought it must be! What great news!

So, where will you two live? NC? Fla?

I am finally buying a house in the NC mountains. I just drove back into Dallas tonight after a marathon road trip to Brevard to be there for the home inspection two days ago. We close on 9/3.

[Shakeydave]

29. Do I detect a hint of whimsy..............................

in our Anarchist's voice?

[JanMichael]

37. Hey! Even hardcore Anarchistic Socialists have feelings too!

BTW: I let it all hang out with R.. It was a blast, I think he agrees 98%.

[Shakeydave]

38. Bwahahahahaha!

Welcome to the fold "R"!

[jonnyblitz]

31. congrats to you michael!!

[SoCalDem]

32. We need pictures dammit

[Shakeydave]

36. I have some from the pre-dinner blitz!

However, Steph has vetoed that idea!

[JanMichael]

40. Just cover her face with "Paint".

Make it a JPEG and post it.

No problem.

If you want to get creative Liv would be fun.

[sweetladybug]

47. Congradulations JanMichael and Steph

I hope you two will remain as happy as my husband and I are after 33 yrs together. Words of advice "don't do anything you wouldn't want the other to do" and "never go to bed angry" "also keep the lines of communication open to each other" and "always treat each other with respect and love each other with all your heart" GOOD LUCK IN YOUR FUTURE TOGETHER! Gayle

[roughsatori]

50. Congratulations--that is wonderful

I am an overly-intellectual argumentative cynic on the outside--but inside I am a big romantic, I love when people fall in love or get hitched. If "hitched" has any derogatory connotations, my apologies.

[jus_the_facts]

51. Awesome......Congratulations ya'll...........

....best of the best to you both! I'll jus keep doin' the chicken dance LOL!

[TrogL]

52. What are you doing posting on here?

Get a room, a closet, a tent or do it front of 50000 spectators.

[JanMichael]

53. Ah. She had to return to NC.

See, we live in NC and Florida, so nothing is going as most people would expect.

I'm going up to Charlotte next weekend then she'll probably be moving down here until I find a decent job in Charlotte.

No problem though, we're prepared.

Should be going to London next February for the "honeymoon".

[Ellen Forradalom]

54. Did you say, "I DU"?

DU take this woman to be your lawfully-wedded wife?
I DU!

[Bossy Monkey]

55. Congrats you nutty kids

I hope she knows she's married a militant lowbrow :)

Congrats, and a long happy life to you both!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

56. Congrats

Now, all you have to do is adopt a DU kid, and you'll have a DU family! :P ...(j/k)

[JanMichael]

62. Do you know any that are up for adoption?

I'd give it 3 years before we do that so there'd be a wait:-)

Thanks for the warm wishes!!!

[leftist_rebel1569]

69. well,

if I could put myself up, I would. But, if you wait 3 years, there'd be no point, i'd be 18...so, until then, I guess I could declare you my DU parental figure...
