Congrats to our newest married CFCer!!

[Angst]

Gratulations, Eran!

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Woah, awesome. Thanks a lot everyone!

No pics just yet, as I don't have the internet at my new place. But the whole thing went great - it was the DC temple, we have lots of pictures of us outside. Actually, everything up to that point had been a lot of trouble (the marriage license, the officiator, you name it) but it was all worth it. We had a honeymoon in Las Vegas, then another reception in Denver for Mrs. of Arcadia's family (multiple receptions is, apparently, a common LDS thing, and I heartily recommend it, what with the extra gifts and all . . . ) and now I am back to work and the grind. But so far, so good.

Don't expect any little of Arcadias any time just yet, though . . .

Why? Didn't they include a user's notice with your new bride ?

Aww... She's a pretty thing isnt she?

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Well, I sure think so.

 

[aronnax]

Well, I sure think so.

I wish you two a long life together, filled with happiness, prosperity and many little Arcadians.

 

[Gooblah]

You scored a good one, Eran!

Seriously though, wish you two all the best.

Congrats Eran! May you have a long and happy marriage. If you have children, remember to train them in the art of Civ and breed and Civ master race

If the reception I went to Friday for a friend of mine is any indication, you're absolutely right

Again, congratulations

Congrats Eran! Beautiful wife you've got there.

Don't expect any little of Arcadias any time just yet, though . . .

There's no excuse for that.

 

[Narz]

Enjoy marriage & all that comes with it.

From this:

Yeah, I know, right? I mean, WTH?

Anyways, basically, it all started when the Packers played the Seahawks about a month ago. I mentioned that 4 minutes into that game, when things looked bad for my boys, I had to leave to go somewhere. As I getting a ride back with someone, we ended up talking about dating (as single Mormons are prone to doing). I mentioned how I never got out much (as I don't have a car) and she remarked that I ought to make an effort to do that.

Anyways, I came home, saw that the Packers had won spectacularly, and ended up in a really good mood the rest of the night. My roommate mentioned that he had invited some people over. One of them (in the member pictures thread, the one sitting on my left, the right of the photo where I am sitting between 2 girls) ended up going on a rant about how she never got asked out. Yes, I know, but you have to understand, LDS dating is weird. Really really weird. So I figured, what the heck, at least it would give me an excuse to leave the house. She thought (hoped? Nah.) that her whole rant had scared me off, but no such luck. So we went on a date - originally the idea was that it was more or less for fun, but turns out we liked each other.

So there you go. To be honest, the whole thing confuses and terrifies me to no end, because I have no idea what I'm doing. But so far, so good.

To this:

Congrats!

within a year and a half.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

By Mormon standards, a year and a half is a long time for a courtship+engagement. But I am really glad we did it the way we did.

 

[Formaldehyde]

Aw. That's sweet! Five minutes after the ceremony and you are still holding hands!

Once again, best wishes and good luck!

 

[Newbunkle]

He has no beard in real life!!!

 

[Truronian]

Congrats!

I'm impressed by your expeditious picture developing/framing in the second cake photo...

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

That wasn't us, the photographer rushed a couple of prints from the wedding itself for the reception. Nice catch though.
