  1. What a happy surprise! Best wishes to both of you!

  2. I’m going with complicated congratulations, I think.

    I’ve always said if I ever get married it will be for tax or similar reasons only…

  3. This makes me feel more normal in my own deviantly long term cohabitational life choices.

  4. Finally! And just walking in and getting married like that, very sensible, not insanely romantic, of course not.

  5. Probably an easier way to get good health insurance than immigrating to Canada. Congratulations from a fan north of the border!

  6. did i write “immigrating” when i meant “emigrating”? sorry, it’s past my bedtime :)

  7. Congratulations! Marriage does funny things to people who have been together for several years — I hope you both beat the odds! BTW — what’s in the bag, candy? Wait, is it beer? I’m changing my guess to beer. Definitely beer….

  8. Yeah, I recently did this, too. The hardest part is explaining why we did it so that I feel less like I’m SELLING OUT MY VALUES, but in a way that doesn’t make me sound like I don’t actually love my partner.

    Congratulations on your partnership, and may your marriage change it minimally!

  9. We mitigated the traditionalism factor by getting married at the Graceland Chapel in Vegas. Complete with Elvis impressionist performance. Weddings are all kinda weird so pick the weird you like.

  10. congratulations both on marriage and on improved health care!

  11. Congratulations on your rational health-insurance-based decision! Also, an amazing way to use a donation. Wow.

  12. Proposed to my longtime partner when she was on a gurney going into the emergency room. Decided that it would make it easier to cope with emergencies. That was five years ago. The change was legal, not personal.

  13. See what happens when I don’t check in here for a while? Life happens! Wishing both of you continued success and happiness!

  14. Now and again these things just got to be done. Best of luck!
