Now tagless for your comfort.

Why is trick or treating so early in some places?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's the missus! Congratulations bon and Bob!

Yeah, Blanton's shot was a lovely thing for a guy who basically didn't hit until a couple of months ago.

I'm pretty sure that's his only hit ever in the majors and he had quite a few interleague games beforehand. I'm sure (ex-A) Matt Stairs pulled him aside and said, "Dude, just swing for the fences. It's not like you're going to stroke an opposite field double, and the pitcher might throw it into your swing."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

We are finally alone in what is apparently this business hotel's version of the honeymoon suite (a king with a hot tub in the room) and Mr bon is grading while I am catching up on the internet.

Aww. That's awesome.

Yep. Definitely not for the hormonal or squeamish.

Thanks! I have sent my sister an email.

And congrats to the bon Bobs!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't have pictures yet, but I do have the best man speech, which went over quite well:

As all older brothers, since I was a kid I fantasized about my younger brother's dream wedding. Though I always pictured it with a lot more Star Wars characters, this is good too.

When you have your wedding out of the state you live in or grew up in, you find out who your real friends are because those are the ones willing to make the trip. So it's good [Bob] has [bon bon] because clearly he doesn't have any friends. In fact, I am not actually [Bob]'s brother, I am a paid actor. [Bob]'s real brother couldn't be here because he is spending the weekend beating Rock Band 2 on his Xbox. If you don't know what that is, I suggest you buy it because that game kicks ass.

But anyway, marriage. Marriage is when you look into the eyes of the one you love and that magical spark goes off that says, "chances are, I'm not going to do a whole lot better than you. I mean maybe if I put more money into clothes and worked out more but that's a lot of hassle. So like a 16 in Blackjack, I'll stay."

I kid of course. [Bob] and [bon bon] are at least 17's.

Ok, truth is they are both very lucky to have found each other. They both have smarty pants jobs but they don't compete with each other. They both love to eat at arcane and unusual restaurants where meals cost the GDP of a small African country. And they have traveled all over the US to be with each other... They met in Michigan then [Bob] followed [bon bon] to New York, and [bon bon] followed [Bob] to California and now they follow each other like prisoners on a chain gang into the bondage of marriage.

I say that with love.

So thanks to both sets of parents, thanks to the few, the brave of you who came here to witness this fabulous occasion and congratulations to [Bob] and [bon bon]. They deserve each other and I mean that in the best possible way.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yay Mr. & Mrs. bon! Congrats.

I have no idea what Trick or Treating is going to be like this year for us. It's our first year in this house and there are only two kids that I know of in the neighborhood. As opposed to the last two years when we had to make emergency candy runs even after buying bags and bags and bags. But I guess I'd better have some candy, anyway.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Ha. The speech is funny.

Congrats to bon bon and to bob bob! I'm so happy for you both.

“Not dead yet!”

That's a great speech. Congrats again!

And I took an Advil PM and I'm getting mildly (okay, more than mildly because I'm the world's biggest lightweight) stupid.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Congrats, bon bobs!
