Cotton
Two years ago today, Rob and I, clutching a panting Boston terrier, walked down the aisle together in New Paltz, New York. It was not quite an historic occasion, as the mayor had already been forced to stop issuing actual marriage licenses to same-sex couples, and yet the air was heavy with moment. Or perhaps that was humidity. Lots and lots of humidity.
I choose to interpret that humidity as a hug from god (and god definitely needs to go heavier on the Right Guard).
If we lived in a sitcom (and I’m not sure that we don’t), a potential wacky hijink was that either Rob or I, or both of us, could have accidentally wound up married to Goblin Foo, like if she had happened to say “I do” before I did, or if she said “achoo” and it was interpreted as “I do,” or if she knocked one of us out and dressed up in his clothes and nobody noticed. Then Rick Santorum’s greatest fear would have been realized. Rick Santorum is the lunatic senator from Pennsylvania who believes that gay marriage is a slippery slope to people marrying animals, an argument that was also made against mixed-race marriages. I’m so glad to know, as we lurch through the global disasters of their own construction, that the Republicans have their priorities straight. They may let ninety-five percent of cargo from suspicious countries enter the country uninspected and look the other way as Pakistan sells nuclear weapons to terrorists, but when it comes to those vast hordes of citizens who want to wed the livestock, nothing is getting past them.
So, anyway, two years.
Not bad.

Hooray! And let me be the first to say that while Rob doesn't look a day older, you are, sadly, a withered old crone. Hooray!

I'd marry Goblin. She's my kind of lady.
Congratulations, kiddo.

Congrats! Your story gives me hope that someday I'll be able to stand next to my cousin as he marries the man of his dreams........

Congratulations!!! If my experience is anything to go by you'll have most of the problems ironed out by around Year 26.
Love to you, the Crumb Lord and Her Ladyship

Jwer: You're just upset because I look ten years younger than you when I'm really only five.
Logan: Thank you. She has taken that as a contract and has put on her veil.
Crash: But I'm the MOST favorite, right? RIGHT?!??!
Lori: Awww. Send me your cousin's phone number in case I ever get a divorce.
David: Thank you.
Campbell: I don't expect to ever claim I'm older than 26, so that could get a bit awkward.
Hanuman: Thank you.
Cara: But what is the arrow pointed at? And does it have a razor-sharp titanium tip? Thank you, and I'm glad you're my friend.

I'm much more concerned about looking fat than old, and you're certainly no competition for me in that, what with your scales and feathers flaking off all the time...
