I remember attending my maternal grandparents' wedding. They'd divorced when their kids were grade-school age but remarried during the late '60s. I'm not sure why they remarried -- they didn't live together afterward or anything like that.
No power in the 'verse can stop me.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I also found out that my paternal grandmother was about 11 months older than I'd always thought.
I just informed Sox this morning that the 50th anniversary party she remembered for our grandparents was actually their 51st because our grandmother didn't want anyone to know that my father was conceived before my grandparents were married. Hee!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I discovered from the 1920 census that the aunt who my father had wanted to name me after was a totally different name than the one my mother had always told me she rejected for me. She'd always told me it was Gertrude, when it was in fact Genevieve.
... I'm in a grumpy mood today.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If we call you Genevieve, will that make it better or worse?

Sox, please put your pants out, as they appear to be on fire.

The members of your family I have met have been, as I recall, entertaining.
But perhaps they were on their most interesting, on account of how any non-Sparky members met were at an Important Social Event at the time.

Now tagless for your comfort.
ARGH! My SiL is trying to change plans next week for babysitting the kids for my sister's wedding. Head. Exploding. I thought we had it all hashed out.
Sometimes, it's like we don't speak the same language.
