We have received Father Pete's blessing

Not only that, the good father has agreed to take time off from his busy schedule of exorcisms and punishing heretics to preside over our wedding. I have assured him that his role will be less painful than, say, rescuing a young girl from the throes of demonic possession. Let us hope that the same could be said of all who participate in the upcoming event.

Seriously, though: I would like to thank Pete and Melissa for being supportive of our idea. Emily and I are thrilled to have our good friends so intimately involved in the process!

Emily has already purchased a wedding dress, by the way. I will ask her to post on her search and quick success.
