Damn am I slow on the uptake (although I wasn’t checking much in the way of blogs during my honeymoon — and I’m still barely checking my own). Congratulations to both of you!

And I (we) completely resonate with your comments about getting married, um, later. Knowing what you want from a wedding (and ideally, a marriage) and trying to at least approximate it in real life is daunting, sometime stressful, but ultimately deeply satisfying when things finally work out. It was quite reassuring to find how supportive people can be under the inevitable pressures, even when neither of you are really “kids” anymore.

Anyway, all the best!

It was the most visually stunning wedding I’ve ever attended – the interior of the artists’ space, with the candles and the flowers on the tables, low slung sofas at the most enclosed end and the open end, stars sparkling above the vow-taking spot…it was fabulous, absolutely fabulous, Sean was a stunner and had definitely been watching the Ocean’s XX films, his suit was gorgeous and he was waltzing around the venue like he was made for dinner jackets, Jennifer would have been gorgeous in a tablecloth, she’s that kind of woman, but she ended up in a plummy satiny number that fitted her perfectly, with cool gorgeous goth stilettos…the Reverend was suitably reverent, I’ve heard he’ll hire himself out for good food and drink, if any Cosmic readers are looking to get married…my only complaint, I must add this, is that there was so little blow!! So few firearms!! And only a pair or two of edible panties!! Well, perhaps when they renew their vows…

Many congratulations to Sean and Jennifer O, it was a fabulous wedding and you both have the most darling friends, I had a great time, and never fully appreciated how awesome and hip and edgy the downtown Los Angeles scene is, it is great and fits both of you perfectly….felicidades a los amores!!

Lovely from beginning to end. I had been thinking that you ran off, got married and didn’t tell us but now I understand the delay: Dr. Trodden’s theological program. Congratulalations, best wishes to both of you and a great journey.

Best wishes.

(we crossed out the bit about “carnal lusts and appetites, like brute beasts that have no understanding”)

Dewd! That was the best part.

Congrats to you both! A toast to your marriage, many happy years together, many discussions, both deep and humorous (not necessarily at the same time, but they could be), travels together and everything else life hold for you both. [Clinking of glasses]

Congratulations. Next time I get married (ha ha! Just kidding dear!) we're going to use something from the Song of Solomon.

> Just imagine what’ll happen when the Anthropic Principle gets mentioned in the same thread as Richard Dawkins and the women-in-science problem.

According to today’s Daily Telegraph (a UK paper) Dawkins has been spotted two or three times recently attending mass, and by all accounts not with a film crew either. Perhaps in a year or two he’ll publish – The Atheist Delusion…

P.S. Wasn’t it Neische who said something like “Great revilers can become great reverers”?

And right, I have to remember that html is sensitive to certain things, like the less than sign … I was trying to say that the weddings of people less than 25 this year have made me feel like a failure for still being unwed at 25, especially since I am in a country where I can actually get married. Luckily, my girlfriend doesn’t feel that way about it, so I am safe.

Oh, bacon-wrapped dates are sooooo good! I’ve only had ‘em once and in this case, the dates were stuffed with a bit of chorizo. Mmmmmm….::drool::

Congratulations, you two!

I don’t think there’s anything wrong, but the Book of Common Prayer thinks differently.

I’ve no idea what it’s like to be married when you’re 40ish. Wife and I got married when I was 26, wife 23. We were pretty broke (neither of us was yet out of school), completely irresponsible, and would definitely do it again! Needless to say, we’re still married with 3 kids, and doing pretty well.

Your wedding vows are pretty, but what is wrong with carnal lust?!

Cheers and good luck.
