BTW - I don't know of this is now, or ever will be, an issue, but because my honey kept her last name and I kept mine, we slapped the kids with a hyphenation. Some days that confuses the various bureaucrats with which they interact.

It's not fireworks that suck. It's the idjits that set them off in the street and blow off their own hands, or burn down the neighbor's house, that suck.

Congrats on the wedding! The reception looked like a lot of fun. Funny, but I didn't see your old boss from RB there anywhere, what's his name again?!?

I got my name in the NY Times exactly once, by marrying a judge's daughter. Not as lucky as my friends who got quoted multiple times for, get this, surviving the Mexico City earthquake in the '80s. (Jealous....)

Are you taking a proper honeymoon? If so, consider the lovely Midwest. Friendly folks, cheap drinks and the sun even comes out once in awhile.

First, its not too hard to see the brightest thing on the dance floor, despite the lighting; congratulations on your marriage...but what does the protest of fireworks have to do with hiding under the covers on your honeymoon week?

Opposed to fireworks? What next, AC? Apple pie?
