As of Saturday, July 20, 2002 at 2pm in Calhoun Georgia, at the Newtown Baptist Church, Darth Sidious exchanged wedding vows with his lovely Bride, Lisa.
Yours truly was there to witness the happy event.
Groom cried, Bride cried, I cried (Yeah, I decided to admit that before Darth gets the chance to spill the beans on me).
The day before on Friday, I arrived in Atlanta and Darth himself picked me up at the airport for our very first face to face meeting. As delightful, as a terrific person as as he is online, he is ten million times more wonderful in person. Humorous, joyful, delightful spirit, an all around wonderful person just to be with.
I joined Darth, his intended, Lisa, their friends and family for a rehearsal dinner...after that...me, Darth and his friends went out for an boy MEN only stag night out in Marietta...aka The Burning of Marietta, Georgia. We (myself, Darth, Chad, Ed, John) had a good old time playing pool, video games, and ski ball. We had plenty of soda pop to drink. Boy, were we woozy!
The day of the wedding, came, the groom was nervous, but happy (ooking every bit snazzy in his tux), the ceremony took place in a beautiful small town church, the Bride was an angelic sight to behold.
After the wedding ceremony, came the reception. Came the traditional tossing of the bridal bouqet and the brides garter (GUESS who caught it???? :-)). Lots of practical jokes abounded, such as Darth pulling out a (toy) garter snake before pulling the actual garter from under his Brides dress. The bridesmaids and groomsmen forming an archway with light sabers at the reception, and Darth's sister hiding Darth's car keys when he and Lisa were trying to leave for their honeymoon.
Darth finally got his car keys back, and the happy couple drove off. :-)
PS: Had lunch today in the home of Lisa's father along with Lisa's brother, and mother (and with Darth's friend and wedding guest from Begium, Bennie (sp?)). Lisa's family were a delight to be with. Giving me a good dose of the famous southern hospitality we all have heard about :-)

Seriously, I'm glad to hear everything went well and wish the couple all the best. Thanks for reporting, lowbridge.
Congrats to the bride and groom. I didn't know that Peter Mayhew actually looked better as a wookie. Huh, go figure.
Cool_Guy, I just had to do that. It seemed only fair.
I wish you the best.
One word of advice though: if you see a thread about marriage and I have posted to it, DO NOT read it. ;^)
Thanks for the ping!
Eric
