Self Gloss: We Got Married

DocLightning · Mon Feb 24, 2014 2:10 am

So last night, psal1011 and I tied the knot at our home with 40 good friends around. It was the fifth anniversary of our first date.

The man I've called my husband for three years is now legally just that. Oddly, neither of us feels like much has changed, other than the fact that our house is now a mess (we just meticulously cleaned it before the party!).

On another note, we have way too much beer, wine, and booze. So if anyone in the Bay Area wants some of any of these (and can legally transport opened containers in their vehicles by virtue of a physically isolated trunk), fire me a PM.

Now, please show me some empty cargo bays.

Congratulations.

A cargo bay would at least be something. How about more empty

WarRI1 · Mon Feb 24, 2014 2:22 am

I wish you well. Damn! I wish I had 40 friends of any kind, never mind good ones.

AR385 · Mon Feb 24, 2014 2:29 am

My sincere Congratulations.

I hope you enjoyed your party and if you can FEDEX some of that alcohol to me I would really appreciate it.

jetblueguy22 · Mon Feb 24, 2014 2:34 am

Congratulations Doc! All the best to you and your husband! No empty cargo bays from me. Marriage is a wonderful thing.
If you want to send the booze to North Dakota feel free. We need something to pass the time up here

Truth is not much has, you already had made the commitment. Just now the rest of the world knows and you get the rights and responsibilities that comes with such a commitment. It a great thing!

Quoting DocLightning (Thread starter):

Well, it's not empty yet but give a few seconds and you and your hubby can have it all to yourselves....

someone made a meme of an empty cargo bay that said: "This is the cargo bay full of people who care" and it became an A.net tradition for self-gloss threads.

As we do...

It all makes sense now...

Congratulations Doc Lightning and Psal1011!

I'll lodge another request for wedding pics. If there are none, at least describe what you wore, what he wore, and how the cake looked.

sturmovik · Mon Feb 24, 2014 6:58 am

Congrats Doc, here's wishing you a lifetime of happiness ahead

AyostoLeon · Mon Feb 24, 2014 7:20 am

Congratulations and every happiness for the future.

I guess that you were planning on a honeymoon in Kansas?

johnboy · Mon Feb 24, 2014 9:18 am

Congratulations, Doc!
So when are we gonna hear the pitter patter of tiny little feet in your place?

PS: I had no idea your hubby was on here too.

MD11Engineer · Mon Feb 24, 2014 11:08 am

Congratulations to both of you! I though that it had happened long ago!

Wait, so not everyone on here is single?? Wow!

Seriously though, congratulations. I wish you a long and happy marriage.

Awesome, congratulations!!

It's my turn in April, so you can save some of those cargo bays for that thread...

Congrats Doc. Any Honeymoon plans?

Self Gloss threads need at least one photo!

sccutler · Mon Feb 24, 2014 5:26 pm

Congratulations - I hope your union is an enduring one, built upon trust and mutual respect.

At 31 years (in a month or so) married, I can offer this advice: there is no such thing as winning an argument with someone you love, and if you find yourself trying to do so, you're on the wrong path. Focus always on the common ground and the common good, be kind - and the details will tend to themselves.

bgm · Mon Feb 24, 2014 6:01 pm

Congratulations to you both! Wish many happy years ahead.

Ken777 · Mon Feb 24, 2014 6:05 pm

Congrats!

After 45 years (in April) "She Who Must Be Obeyed" & I have seen life change many times and we have been stronger getting through the difficult years because we have been together. My hope for you and yours is that you are able to share those good (and sometimes challenging) times together and that it continually makes your relationship stronger.

As far as a honeymoon tip - mine is a Med Cruise. About 11 days in a totally different world where you can be away from work and the traditional day to day things; and can explore some new things together.

Our plan:
DL 767-300 from SFO to DTW
AF A343 from DTW to CDG
AF A32X from CDG to BCN
CELEBRITY EQUINOX Med cruise (gay cruise, of course...this will be in August) out of BCN to Malta, Italy, Monte Carlo, Ibiza, and back to BCN.
AF A32X BCN-CDG-TXL
AF A32X TXL-CDG
AF A388 CDG-SFO

That will be my first A340 and first A380.

No need to be jelly. The cruise is still bookable.

Or, put another way, ask yourself this question when gearing up for an argument with your spouse; "Do I want to be right, or do I want to be married?"

Congratulations Doc, I hope you have many happy years with your other half. If not, well, prepare to give up half of everything you own!

Congratulation in advance as well on flying on your first A380. I guarantee you that plane will absolutely blow your mind.

Charles79 · Tue Feb 25, 2014 4:40 pm

Many, many, many congratulations Doc! As a happily married man (in a gay relationship), I can tell you that married life is great and there is something very special about being able to talk about your "spouse" or "husband". Having your relationship recognized on a legal status does add substance to it, even if the "love" for each other was exactly the same before and after the wedding ceremony.

I wish you many, many years of happiness together!

Congrats Doc! My partner and I will be getting married in August to celebrate our 18 (!) yrs together. Yeah, we hooked up when we were 21 and he never left lol.

Sincere congrats to you guys!

I know I'm late to the thread, stuck at work for far too many hours lately but want to pass on my congrats to you, Doc.
