My friends Rumple Station and Tart Comma are getting married. Well, okay, they’re actually already married because, in true self-righteously cheap fashion, they had a secret state wedding over a year ago and didn’t tell anyone. But now that the cat is out of the bag, they have decided to hold an actual wedding. The […]

Can You Spot Every Pop Culture Reference in this Epic Wedding Speech?
This weekend I had the honor of officiating my first wedding for my dear friend Captain Kreph, and her now-husband Vat. I had no idea, but apparently you can get a one-time wedding officionado certificate from the state that allows you to perform one specific wedding. And so that’s what I did. But I knew […]
A Tale of Three Postcards – A Pre-Wedding Adventure
It wasn’t like I didn’t have enough time. Bleric Ack had mentioned to me, oh, four months earlier that they were thinking of replacing the traditional wedding guest book with a stack of postcards. The cool idea was that each guest would bring a postcard from where they were from, or from where they had […]

Marriage is a funny word. It means one thing to the church, and another thing to the state. It can mean vastly different things, even to different sets of people who are themselves married.

For our fifth anniversary, I surprised my wife by flying her to Las Vegas and staging a vow renewal ceremony at an Elvis wedding chapel. It was our thought at that time that every five years seemed like a good opportunity to recommit to each other, and so we started thinking about our tenth anniversary. […]
To Get The Girl, You Need the Moves
I know that many of you out there are wondering, “Tenor Dad, you seem like someone that might have a hard time finding someone to marry you, what with your constant misadventures and general ridiculousness. And yet you are married and have two children. How did you do it?” Well, since it is Valentine’s Day […]
Planning a Tenth Anniversary Vow Renewal
The day I got married was the best day of my life. Hands down. And I don’t mean that to say that my marriage is that best thing ever to happen to me (though it probably is), but rather, that day was just awesome and exciting from top to bottom. It was basically a huge […]
Ruby Plays “Wedding”
An actual conversation I had with my four-year-old yesterday: Me: How was school today? Ruby: Good. Me: What did you do? Ruby: Oh, I played wedding. Me: (suddenly terrified) You did? Ruby: Yes. Me: And how do you play wedding? Ruby: Well, you just have a wedding silly! Me: I see. And who did you […]
Get Me to the Church on Time
Today I bring you two stories, each of someone attempting to get to the church on time. After you read both stories, I hope you will realize that no matter how crazy my life is, and no matter how many ridiculous situations I find myself in, I will never top my mother in the chaos […]
