let no one put asunder...

Life offers little opportunity to witness an event more admirable than two people vowing both spiritually and legally to keep house with one another as husband and wife. Such was the case when the sister-in-law and her fiance married back in September. It was a perfect ceremony—joyful and intimate. I was disappointed however to see that the earth doesn’t split apart and the sky doesn’t rain fiery hail when two lawyers vow to live together in holy matrimony. I was bummed to say the least. Perhaps when two lawyers wed their souls cancel each other out. Your thoughts?

The wife and I are very happy for them, and wish them all the best. In fact, we (“we” meaning mainly the wife) helped with some the planning and were able to host the event at the house. How did we manage while also caring for our infant child? Because we’re awesome--recognize, yo. In any case, congrats J+D! We’re looking forward to you having us over on weekends, babysitting, and providing free legal council should the need arise.
