I wonder if you two will be the next ayleurs to have their fifteen minutes of fame in AWADmail? I bet news of a successful yenta will bring flocks of available word buffs to our little corner of the internet. Good news for all of you singles out there (but as I scan my mental memory banks, it seems like most of us are committed (in relationships, if not in the institutional sense)).

Congrats again, and F. Steve, you can't really perform internet weddings, can you?

funny you should mention that-- today's NY Times has an article about a web site Rentapriest.com..

You can find and rent a RC priest for your wedding. (at this point its only US-- and everyone hates the name. but i am sure it will coming to a web site near you soon...

the NY Time article
http://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/07/technology/07PRIE.html

You might find taking off the 07prei and going to technology and then looking will work better..

I know a priest who claims to have married two people in Alaska by citizen's band radio. The couple were in the same spot but the officiant was remote. This may be an apocryphal story but, if it is not, there is some precedent lurking in it for Internet-mediated weddings. No?

Again, thanking all of you for your kind words (Scribbler, only outdone by your graciousness is your creativity) and offering a wee clarification:

What have decided to do is eliminate the 737 as-the-crow-flies miles between us. We're just a coupla apprentice geezers looking for a crossword puzzle partner. No weddings or babies in the foreseeable future.
