Mumbles's Wedding -- Recap

Do not adjust your monitor. I (Fidget) have altered this photograph -- which was taken at Mumbles's wedding -- to protect the identities of Sparky and Madd Dogg. They both have some misgivings about having their pictures on the internet.

I myself share those misgivings to some extent. But I decided to leave my face unobstructed to show support for Mumbles. After all, he is the only carpool member who, as yet, has allowed his picture to be posted on our blog. See "Carpool Profile: Mumbles," June 15, 2006.

At any rate, Mumbles's wedding was quite wonderful. The weather was a beautiful 74 degrees (or thereabouts) -- perfect for an outdoor wedding. Mumbles and his bride (who we shall refer to as "Other Madd Dogg," given that she shares the same first name as our own Madd Dogg) looked beautiful and happy.

The highlights:

1. Mumbles managed to enunciate when saying his vows. Bravo!

2. The best man -- who gave a very, um, thorough toast -- confirmed what we already knew: That Mumbles is somewhat of a scofflaw, whose history of ignoring parking tickets is nothing less than prolific.

3. Sparky, Madd Dogg, and Fidget can maintain periods of maturity for up to 10 minutes at a time.

4. The significant others of Sparky, Madd Dogg, and Fidget are very patient and understanding souls.

Anyway, the carpool hereby bids Mumbles and "Other Madd Dogg" a hearty congratulations! Enjoy your honeymoon in beautiful [location withheld]!
