Very happy for both of you.

Congrats to you both.  Best of luck to you in your future together.

Now, for my regularly scheduled vacation... ;+)

Now you guys can train a whole future generation of libertarian Jedi!

and congratulations to both of you :)

Seriously, congratulations to both of you on what will most certainly be a long and prosperous marriage. :)

May you enjoy many, many years together.

....plotted a surprise for a very special woman in my life....

Isn't that how Reagan got shot?

...after I stop giggling. Hee!

...are SO not libertarian. They're so goody goody neocon it makes me sick ;->

Goody goody neocons... That's my boy :)

...to both of you.

Please accept my prayers for a blessed engagement and an even more blessed marriage.

Ladies and gentlemen, the one area where the future Mr. JadedMara and I disagree

I mean, sure, some were; some were weird nationalist conservatives; there have been libertines; I mean, seriously, it could go all over the place.

I'm not sure Luke and Mara would be considered neocons. Kyp might be, if we use "neocon" to mean what the Left does. The Jedi in the time of Revan were anything but neocons, for good and for ill. Same with the Jedi during the Great Hyperspace War.

Congrats to the both of you! Adam, let me share some advice that has kept my long marriage (10 months) happy "Yes, Dear", HEHEHE

Cheers!

for your kind comments.

I'm not Jewish, but I am originally from NJ, so I can use Yiddish terms.  

No.  Really.  They, like, passed a law or something.  Or maybe it was a district court ruling...

Amongst all the serious political argumentation, this is like a ray of sunlight. :)

Congrats to you both.

I want detailed accounts.  Down on a knee?  Marching bands?  GIVE US DETAILS!!! =D

What else is a DIARY for anyhow? :)

Take the following advice, Mr. Adam C:

Do not rely on your memory that your spring wedding was on a certain day in May; for, if you do, the laws of nature and man require that it actually be on that very day -- but in April.

The same advce works for fall, summer, and winter wedding as well.

This is really wonderful news!  

Some advice for a long, happy marriage from my grandpa-in-law: "When you're wrong, admit it; when you're right, shut up."  (That's the gist of it--it used to rhyme.)

May you have a beautiful life together.

All newly engaged get my standard marital advice.

No matter what Mrs. C may do; never, ever speak ill of your wife to your family.  Do not mention it if she had too much to drink at the office Christmas party, or if she isn't a good cook, or doesn't make the bed, or if she spent too much on an outfit, didn't pay a bill on time, nada.  Keep it to yourself. You love her and therefore will thing nothing of these petty little things.  Your parents love you, and will never forget any petty failings of hers that you were stupid enough to share with them.  

Likewise, never speak ill of your parents to your wife - not if you want to visit them and have your children visit them.  Your wife loves you, and will harbor some degree of ill will towards anyone you indicate has ever done you wrong, including your parents, your best friend, etc.

For the Love of Heaven, she must pry that from your cold, dead fingers!

"For the Love of Heaven, she must pry that from your cold, dead fingers!"

The National Remote Association: "Remotes don't watch lousy television shows, people do. When remotes are outlawed, only outlaws will have remotes!"

Senator Diane Feinstein: "I just don't think the Constitution preserves the right to own military-style assault remotes that can control the TV, DVD player, and the home theater sound system...I propose a 15-day waiting period on any remote..."

Details are here for those interested.

Congratulations to the both of you, and may you enjoy a long, successful, and happy life together.

May God bless you with many wonderful children and grandchildren and many years of happy marriage to raise and enjoy them.

Can I give you some advice too?

Mr. C:  Get her surprises regularly.  Do nice things, buy her some little special something that she noticed, but didn't buy herself. (That way if you forget some special day, you can always say that The Thing You Did was for That Special Day and that you just did it a little early.)  

Mrs. C:  Don't ever criticize your husband to anyone else and ESPECIALLY not in front of him.  Men need respect like they need air and food.

Best Wishes!!!!!

Trust me.

Anyway, as a married man, forget about respect. Focus on the food.

"you have more children than you have planned"

Man, she already has quite a few planned... you think Catholics have a bunch of kids, try out Muslim culture.  If we have any more than planned, I'm opening up a school in the house :)

..that's pretty appropriate.

C'mon, FOUR is not a lot compared to Catholic families. Sheesh.

Although four in 5 years was a bit of a challenge.

I can't believe that I am hearing about this on the blog, however awesome this blog may be.  I was starting to think that I could win a small fortune taking bets on when this was going to happen.

All the best that married life can bring to you and your lovely bride to be.  Remember, marriage is for three. Save room for God and have as many children as the good Lord will give you.
