    I’m going to be all over the place the next week+, so my posting will be much more erratic and I likely won’t be able to answer a lot of questions.

    Ms. 6789 is going to become Mrs. 6789, so there will be much festivity and travel.

    That is good news for us, but the good news for you all is that when I get back, I will get the Owl of the Year Qualifier round going so we can fill out the bottom half of our bracket for this year!

    I have not picked a start date quite yet for OotY because I’m also traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday and then coming back to a new boss at work, so I’m not sure how extra attentive I’m going to have to act there, but I’d like to start the first week of Dec if I can swing it.

      The time has dragged by for me, in anticipation of making your union legally official, and suddenly, it’s time! I’m so pleased and as always, sending wishes for strength, unity, and growing blessings, from one day to another. May your happiness together last a lifetime and challenges lead to growth, individually and together. 🥂

        I appreciate your kind words and wishes as always!

        The last week has gone quite quickly! All the last minute bits and final preparations are making it clear we’re in the last moments of preparation.

        Thankfully I checked with my brother last night and we learned he did not have appropriately presentable clothes to be our officiant, and I have not seen her get so short of breath through the whole process other than maybe when our first cage person returned our deposit and retired.

        I took over her running around errands this morning and she got my brother some new clothes and took them to get pressed.

        The wedding itself has been organized pretty well, so I feel so that should go well, and now my only real concern is our flights for the honeymoon, as our government is shut down and the sure traffic controllers are overworked and not getting paid for over a month now. Our original trip discussions were to go out west to a few national parks, but with the government cutting all these things that are positive, we didn’t want to risk them being closed, but here we are anyway 😔

        As for us ourselves, I have no worries. We’ve been near inseparable since we first met, we’ve never really been mad at each other, our personalities compliment each other well, and we always keep each other’s feelings in mind and support each other.

          Well anything can change at any moment, so let’s hope for the best changes. Congratulations again and if all she did was have to manage her breath, props for her! She did just fine.

          I’m sure you’ll do quite well together, I remember all you’ve said before on the matter. I just reiterate multiple blessings, because why not?

            I averted another issue in my errands today! I picked up my tux and noticed the tie and cummerbund were not in the bag with everything else so I had them find where they got to and made sure I wouldn’t find myself unaccessorized at the last minute. I have to keep an eye on all these guys!

              Great job! I’m impressed with everything going on, you’re able to remember details ahead of time!

      We are in the shuttle to the airport so I will take the time to thank you now!

      The wedding went very well! It must have been due to ask the kind wishes from you all 😇
