Congratulations to Lord and Lady Kinbote

[groza528]

I posted this in the Happy thread too, but I think it's worthy of its own thread here.
This weekend I was fortunate enough to attend the wedding of our very own LordKinbote in Poughkeepsie, NY (and foolish enough to leave my camera back home.) It was a short and sweet service held at the Chapel of Vassar College. It was a very comfortable and casual setting and indeed there was more laughter than tears, much of it coming from the bride in fact.
The ceremony was followed by a reception in which Kinbote and his merry band of barbershop singers serenaded from the balcony in a reversal of the cliche. The reception also featured the cake imprinted upon which was the solution to LK's self-composed crossword " A Piece of **** " as posted in VSP -- the blank grid was also delivered to the guests in the bags they received upon their hotel check-ins. Personally, I think he should have given the clues in the bags for those who wanted to try the puzzle diagramless, then provide the blank grid on the cake, and finally present the solution on the thank-you notes but I suppose that is a bit over-the-top, not to mention logistically difficult, for the average wedding attendee.
Anyway, I just wanted to post congratulations to the Kinbotes, and demand photos when you return from Bermuda.

Much Congrats, L&L K!

Thank you, groza!

A fun time was had by all. We tried to keep it as laid back as possible, cutting the ceremony to its most abbreviated version, and then cutting out all the cheese (throwing the bouquet, anything to do with a garter, the chicken dance) out of the reception. There were about 90 people in attendance, which felt like the perfect number. A lot of friends from Vassar, which is one reason we chose the location. In fact, my wife and I met almost 7 years ago in the practice space for the college choir in the basement of the chapel, exactly one floor below where we eventually tied the knot.

The crossword puzzle seemed to go over big, as did the band and the singing. There were enough unique, memorable moments that will stay with us till the end, and that we hope our guests will remember too.

Now...off to my cruise ship!

Congrats, LK! I am glad to hear that everything went well.
I met Groza today, but that's not as important

By the way, my wife has nixed the title "Lady Kinbote".

First of all, congrats!
Second, aren't you on a cruise ship? I know they have fancy internet suites on board nowadays, but can't you think of anything better to do?
On a cruise. On honeymoon and all?

Which bit? Is she saying she isn't a Lady?

Congratulations, btw.

Too tired to read the thread, but I suspect that a 'Congratulations' is in place.
