As you may have noticed, I try to stay on topic here and keep the announcements and meta-blogging to a minimum. However, every once in a while I think it's OK to break that rule, and today is one of those days. And hey, there's a giant
OT in the title for you to let you know you can skip it if you don't care, right? =)
I'm getting married today. For those of you who know me well, you know its been a long time in the making. We've been dating for 7 years and engaged for two-and-a-half. So I can say with some confidence, "it's about time."
Now that I finished graduate school and we're getting ready to close on the house we had built, last year some time we decided it would be prudent to add to all the stress, so we set a date to coincide with all the others. I guess the masochistic side of me craves the pressure.
As a consequence, I'll be spending some time away from the computer and instead spending it with my bride, so you won't see any posts here next week.
Anyway, thanks in advance for your thoughts, prayers, well-wishing, or any other positive energy you'd like to send us newlyweds.

Congratulations. I would say that it's quite the ride, but at 7 years together, you already know that. I will say though that no matter how long you've been together marriage is different than just dating, or being engaged.
Good luck with your marriage.

"Yes dear."
Congrats!

Congrats. Speaking as a newlywed myself (and also together for 7 years prior), it only keeps getting better. :-)

Congratulations! Don't worry, we'll keep pedaling so the Internet will still be here when you're back.
