Got hitched
« on: October 10, 2007, 08:08:25 PM »
Well,  now I can post here officially on the "married forum".  We married last night in a small but nice outdoor ceremony.   It seemed so natural for us because we get along so good. We are now already working on ajustment of status for both Marina and Tatiana.  Their physicals are next week.  We are looking to get Tatiana back in school as soon as we can in para legal school, as her studies were russian law school.  Marina loves the mountains and appreciating nature.  I have been getting them started on some driving instruction here on the property.  At least they will have a little feel for the wheel when go to more formal driving school, but I will have to drive them to the next town for that.  Marina rode her first lawn mower today. I said she could practice driving that too without the blades engaged but she was eager to mow, so I let her have at it while I found something else to do.  We will have our official honeymoon in a couple of weeks as soon as we can get "caught up".    Learning of some of the married gents  experiences here on the forum has been very informative, and has helped me prepare in many ways.  Fortunately,  Marina is very understanding , and knows she has to be patient with me  and I with her.    Mostly, we are happy.  As you see in my last pic, I can have my cake and eat it too- :P

Congratulations JJ!

Thanks for sharing your special day with us.

P. S. Now that you are starting on your path to OMBhood you'll have to start being a lot meaner!  ;D

jj,

Congratulations to you and your family.

You make a beautiful couple (but I must say your wife is decidedly more beautiful than you!)  ;-)

May you have many happy years together.

It just occurred to me that, given how we use the word "mule" on this forum, saying you just got "hitched" probably isn't the best choice of words.  :cheesygrin:

good one Scott.  I was going to say "tie the knot"; but then the next step would be to "tighten the noose"  . so, that was not a great choice either.  But the 2 mules pull together within the yolk to move along.   If I was a mule by myself, I would just be my usual jackass self. :-\

   jj, I thought you fell off the face of the earth. Now you show up
here "hitched" and happy. You've got property where she can
practice drivng? NICE !! We had to utilize public school parking lots
on weekends and evenings, those were adventurous days.

We wish you and Marina all the best, and a speedy process ahead.
When you venture down to Charlotte, by all means call ahead....

Vaughn and Elvira
