It's just not fair, after I was such a gentleman on that alternate world.

Congrats to both!!

Congrats. May the whisky flow, the tarttan swirl and the bagpips skrill.

Sorry for the screw up on X Marks tartan for the bride. I had not realized....there are always two percent who don't get the word.

As the LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY groom said...there are plenty of other tartans meaningful to the couple.....

So, next question...will I need to get a passport for the wedding?? Hear it takes some time to get one.

Yes, you will need a passport. In June, all travel to Canada requires one. I applied for mine on Feb. 24th and it arrived here in Canada after it was reshipped from my mother's middle of last week. So really it didn't even take a full month for me to get mine.

The US might push it back again, but I doubt it since they have pushed it back numerous times now.

Did the happy couple "meet" on xmarks first, or in person first?

We met here, on X-Marks, originally. We met in person last spring (Diane is in PA, I am in NC).

Have you decided to hold the wedding in Canada (with your family??) or in the States...

Guessing some of us will need passports no matter where the ceremony is held.

Watching The Graduate again to get that Dustin Hoffman late to the wedding scene down pat.

Rabble,

Please remember this is an announcement of the union of two people and the happiness they've found with each other. Offer your congrats, send flowers, by champagne. But, please keep this thread on topic. MacMoose is a member of XMTS, and his fiance is not. Simple enough. There is absolutely no reason to delve further into membership status than that.

It is not set in stone just yet, but it is looking like we will try to get married AT the Fergus Games, if possible. If not, we'll do it in town or nearby, and hit the Games anyway. My family all live within about 5 minutes of the Games site. I have no family here in NC.

I am also going to ask around, maybe arrange a band and a party,who knows...I know a lot of good musicians up that way!

NOTE - If you live in WA state, we have another "alternative" We can get a "special Drivers Lic" that allows us to cross the boarder into Canada. BC also has one http://www.gov.bc.ca/igrs/edl.html

BUT AIR TRAVEL requires a PASSPORT http://www.bctravel.com/travel2.html

Congratulations to both.
I met MacMoose when I was in Canada last year, looking forward to meeting his new wife also some day.
