[quote="John Cougar Lunchbucket":102w5jnc]Who's the lucky guy?[/quote:102w5jnc] I'm pretty sure the correct answer here is "Your mother, why?"

Methead Nov 09 2007 10:14 PM

I'll say exactly what all my friends said to me... "It's about time." Congratulations!

DocTee Nov 09 2007 10:23 PM

Fantastic. I wish you the very best.

Ho- ly crap.

Great news, congratulations to you and the missus.

Valadius Nov 10 2007 09:11 AM

Congratulations, Edgy!

sharpie Nov 10 2007 09:36 AM

What they said. Really. I mean it. Welcome to the club. (won't say anything about your stealing the back page from Willets' baby)

metsmarathon Nov 10 2007 10:07 AM

congrats.

Kid Carsey Nov 10 2007 10:31 AM

s: >>>(won't say anything about your stealing the back page from Willets' baby)<<< Very Yankeeesque on his part.

seawolf17 Nov 10 2007 11:23 AM

I like the triple-e in "Yankeeesque." Like it a lot. Congrats, Edgy! I'd assumed you were already married.

Edgy DC Nov 10 2007 11:52 AM

I am, but don't tell Cha.

SteveJRogers Nov 10 2007 01:22 PM

So what made you decide to do it now and how was it done?

SJR: >>>So what made you decide to do it now<<< He saw that picture of you lounging at the beach and said I can't let this happen to me? Sorry Steve, I've had no sarcastic outlet today -- you bear the brunt.

soupcan Nov 10 2007 03:21 PM

I'll say exactly what every one of my thrice-married father's friends said to me.... "Uh, are you sure you want to do that?" But from me I'll say congratlations and my best wishes to you both. We're all invited of course?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 10 2007 03:24 PM

[quote="soupcan":xxji4qfa] We're all invited of course?[/quote:xxji4qfa] Yeah, but only on the Internet

Rockin' Doc Nov 10 2007 04:14 PM

Congratulations to Edgy and the Mrs. Edgy to be. May your happiness together continue throughout your lives.

dgwphotography Nov 10 2007 05:47 PM

Congratulations Edge. Hopefully she won't wizen up before the wedding

A Boy Named Seo Nov 11 2007 09:00 AM

Hey, great news, man. "Meet the Mets" has already been done at a wedding, but I think "Our Time, Our Time" is still available. Congrats.

Edgy DC Nov 11 2007 11:54 AM

[quote="Iubitul":1yhbebgo]Congratulations Edge. Hopefully she won't wizen up before the wedding[/quote:1yhbebgo] Please tell me you mean wisen?

Ouch - wiz·en To dry up; wither or shrivel.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 11 2007 12:51 PM

Well, hopefully she won't do THAT either.

MFS62 Nov 11 2007 01:05 PM

Edgy. You going to write the best man's reception speech? Or just edit it? Later

Edgy DC Nov 11 2007 01:13 PM

There'll be no speech.

Farmer Ted Nov 11 2007 05:47 PM

String up Mets bobble heads to the back of the Honda Element. Muchas congratulaciones, or something like that.

cooby Nov 11 2007 05:49 PM

Congratulations, Edgy, I wish for you a long, happy marriage.

[quote="Edgy DC":2nmw1ec4]There'll be no speech.[/quote:2nmw1ec4] Thank you for sparing the guests from listening to one. All they usually do is waste valuable minutes that can be better spent at the bar. BTW - congrats. Later

Edgy DC Nov 12 2007 07:26 AM

I have one brother so if he's not selected as my best man, it would be a serious slight. The problem is that everybody who meets my brother says something along the lines of, "I really liked your brother, until he opened his mouth."

TransMonk Nov 12 2007 07:43 AM

Congrats, Edgy!

Centerfield Nov 12 2007 11:17 AM

She said yes?

Edgy DC Nov 12 2007 11:25 AM

I said "Put me in, Coach," and she said, "You're ready to play."

Kid Carsey Nov 12 2007 12:00 PM

Quick. Elope. NOW!!!

metsguyinmichigan Nov 12 2007 12:53 PM

Congrats, Edgy!!!! I was wearing my 1986 jersey when I proposed in what was supposed to be a romantic evening at Burns Park in Massapequa -- and it turned out to be a total disaster, except for the part when she said "Yes!"

Edgy DC Nov 12 2007 12:54 PM

Can you... describe the disaster?

metsguyinmichigan Nov 12 2007 01:01 PM

There was an endless series of disasters. In theory, we were supposed to get some ice cream and then sit by the water enjoying the sunset. Alas -- and this is the thumbnail version -- got stuck in traffic coming down from Connecticut, Mom not up on the plan insisting strongly that we had plenty of ice cream in the freezer, bleeping Carvel being closed by the time we got there forcing the last minute substitution of Slurpees and then, as I dropped down to my knee with ring in hand, a car full of drunken teenagers schreeches up near the bench where we were sitting, shouting, throwing cans out the window and blasting music. Like I said, lucky she said yes! Must have been the 1986 Mets jersey.

Edgy DC Nov 14 2007 08:37 AM

What would the room say to an Opus 40 wedding? What would the archbishop say to us getting married with that big pagan monolith as a backdrop?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 14 2007 08:45 AM

Do it. I also wanna see S. in a bridemaids dress, or at least, drunk.

soupcan Nov 14 2007 08:51 AM

[quote="Edgy DC":26lrb66g]What would the room say to an Opus 40 wedding? What would the archbishop say to us getting married with that big pagan monolith as a backdrop?[/quote:26lrb66g] I thought Catholics could only get married in a church, no?

Edgy DC Nov 14 2007 08:59 AM

I'm just flying things up the flagpole --- nothing wrong with getting married at a local church and having a reception at the Opus.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 14 2007 09:10 AM

[quote="soupcan":3smkxae0]I thought Catholics could only get married in a church, no?[/quote:3smkxae0] Is that true? I thought that as long as it was officiated by a priest that it would be kosher. So to speak.

Nymr83 Nov 14 2007 11:57 AM

i dont know the catholic rules but in judaism the location doesnt matter, in isreal its pretty common to have the chupah outdoors. oh and congrats edgy

metirish Nov 14 2007 12:12 PM

From the rule book. Where will the wedding take place? To highlight the sacredness of the celebration, and to underscore the relationship between your marriage and the Christian community, the Catholic Church stipulates that Catholic weddings take place in Catholic churches. Permission will not be given for outdoor weddings or unusual locations. Normally, the wedding will be celebrated in the parish where either of the Catholic parties resides. Your pastor may give permission for it to be celebrated in another Catholic church or chapel (for example, a Newman Center). If you are marrying a non-Catholic Christian or a non-baptized person, you may request permission to have the wedding take place elsewhere (e.g., in another Christian church or a synagogue or in another suitable place). I think Opus 40 would be considered an unusual location . http://www.diogh.org/youngacm/marriage_prep.htm

Benjamin Grimm Nov 14 2007 02:22 PM

So a priest will officiate at an off-site wedding if one of the two parties is Catholic but not if they both are? Am I reading that right? This is a new one on me. I was Catholic for a long time and was unaware of the "it has to be in a church" rule.

Nymr83 Nov 14 2007 03:23 PM

thats the rule of the archdioese of galveston at least, is it universal? the NY site doesnt say and i'm too lazy to look more. any practicing catholics around?

themetfairy Nov 29 2007 01:48 PM

Congratulations Edgy and Best Wishes to the future Mrs. Edgy :)

Willets Point Nov 29 2007 01:52 PM

Congrats! Did you actually propose or did common law just kick in? I'm pretty sure a Catholic-Catholic wedding has to be held in a church, but there's a dispensation for everything.

Edgy DC Nov 29 2007 02:14 PM

I actually proposed. Common law got us a few years back while we weren't looking, but nobody should get passively married.

themetfairy Nov 29 2007 02:34 PM

Common law only works if you're actually holding yourself out to the world as being married. Merely living together doesn't count.

AG/DC Jan 07 2008 05:06 PM

I'm posting from my parish. She's in there with my priest answering arcane questions about what might invalidate a marriage, such as: Are you being kidnapped? Are you already married? Are you a nun? Is he a nun? Fun stuff.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 07 2008 05:30 PM

Have you like, gone all the way before?

Nymr83 Jan 07 2008 05:36 PM

don't let the priest know about the sex or he might not approve the wedding, didn't you see License to Wed?

Benjamin Grimm Jan 07 2008 05:51 PM

I hope you got your stories straight beforehand on the kidnap question.

Kong76 Jan 07 2008 06:19 PM

AG: >>>I'm posting from my parish. She's in there with my priest answering arcane questions about what might invalidate a marriage<<< Your church has internet in the waiting room?

AG/DC Jan 07 2008 07:09 PM

I'm technically on payroll, so I have the run of the place.

themetfairy Jan 07 2008 08:07 PM

So, when's the big day?

AG/DC Jan 07 2008 08:10 PM

Unsettled.

AG/DC Aug 15 2008 09:13 AM

It's not every day you get a call from your girlfriend that says, "Guess what? Neither of us have syphyilis!"

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 15 2008 09:19 AM

Yeah, usually I get worse news.

themetfairy Aug 15 2008 10:51 AM

It beats those false positive results.

soupcan Aug 15 2008 10:54 AM

Well you know, Gonorrhea is really what you want anyway.

AG/DC Aug 15 2008 11:02 AM

They said that that an HIV test is a little extra. For a test that the DC marriage license is dependent on, shouldn't HIV be the higher gummint priority in 2008? Or any year since about 1984?

Frayed Knot Aug 15 2008 11:11 AM

Those other conditions don't have a built-in lobbying group.
