Congrats to Newlyweds Bacon Man and Hap!
me ^ | 5/16/04 | Xenalyte

Posted on 05/16/2004 1:41:38 PM PDT by Xenalyte

I am proud as all hell to announce to FReeperdom that Bacon Man, my best friend of more than 20 years, and his amazing lady Hap have tied the knot!

They were married yesterday afternoon, May 15, 2004, in a small ceremony at the Chapel at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, attended by family and friends. It was undoubtedly the best wedding I've ever been to.

They're the best people I know, and their love is so strong that you feel better just being around them.

Please join me in a huge Mazel Tov for the happy couple!

BTW, Curmudgeon, I'd lay good money you know Bacon's parents and just don't know it. He's from the QV like me. :)

Pics are forthcoming when the wedding photographer comes across. The ceremony was also DVDed, so I'm hoping we can grab some stills from that and post 'em. It was just gorgeous!

They picked a good day for it, yesterday the Missus and I celebrated our 28th anniversary. May their union achieve equal or greater longevity.

How can you say Mazeltov to someone named "Bacon Man" anyway? Doesn't sound kosher to me...

Sure didn't - we were having a fantastic dinner at Bally's Steakhouse while the fight was underway.

Congratulation on the wedding.

L'chaim is also a pretty neat word, apt for this situation in particular.

I'd send my own salutations in classical Latin, but it's been a little sketchy ever since I graduated from high school, so I'll just CONGRATULATIONS you two!

I hope you both have a wonderful life together!

O.K., I'll ask. What were you wearing at the wedding?

I wore a Liz Claiborne sundress, with cream paisleys on a teal background. Tasteful, but understated. :)

WOOHOOO and congratulations! Delightful news.

I'll have to lift my glass to you both when I'm back stateside someday.

In the meantime, name the first one for me, OK?

One never knows when Xena's Guy will appear. Remember when he got me in trouble that one time on PalTalk?

After much discussion it wasn't that kind of wedding (no thanks to Bacon, who had to be restrained from wearing a gorilla suit). We were all surprisingly classy. :)

There had been talk of all of us dressing up as our favorite cartoon/sitcom characters; I would have opted for Peg Bundy, myself. Leather and 95-degree Vegas heat aren't the most felicitous ensemble mix.

Same day as anniversary #5 for me. Congratulations to your pals!

However, on a more serious note, I can't believe their wedding was more fun than mine!

Since I wasn't at yours, I can't offer an honest comparison . . . but I can say this one beat the other weddings I've attended all to hell!

Thanks but were not planning on having kids. Would you settle for naming the cat after next? The next one's name is already taken (Bamboose). :)

I should also say that of all the weddings I've attended (and that's a lot), I have the best feeling about this one. :)

Many thanks to everyone for their kind words. Everything went very smoothly with the wedding and Bacon Man and I couldn't be happier. :)

As requested, here is a pic from the wedding.
