Don't pee in the pool

in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Five (7 years, 11 months ago)
I
worked late on some lovingly crafted code tonight, and I was just about to head to bed when it hit me:
One of the largest events of my life is fast approaching, and other than the occasional decision-making or invitation-sending, I haven't had a moment of concern over the significance. Who's in charge of the betting pool? I'll put $10 in for the ton-o-bricks to hit me on June 23rd.
Now who's running the pool for "distance from which his terrified scream is still audible" ?
Of course I'm joking about this [and now lying about it], and I'm sure all of my nervousness ended the moment she said "I does." What could I possibly worry about at this point? The deed is essentially done - the final nails have been driven into the, uh, sign above the door that says "Welcome to Andrew & Sally's House of Leisure & Cricket."
So I'm gonna go to bed, as originally intended, and we can just forget this little conversation. I don't know what the heck you're doing up this late anyway; Get a job or something. I'm going to start calling you Eddie if you keep this up.

Katie? Matt?!?
Pshaw. Give me Fox & Friends, or give me... a break.
There is much wisdom in what you say, Dave. It's a singular event for me, but on a world-wide scale, it's not a terribly exclusive club. The paradox is enough to make bored with my own comment, even as I write it.

Yes - but what if you're like evil Wonder Twins® once you're married??? "Form of... World-Dominating Disco Dancer..."
THAT would be a world changing event.

Does the silence eat at you? Suffer no more...

It'll hit you at the weirdest moments, the realization of how large this event is in your life. It's one of those things like having a baby - it's the most important thing in the world to you, but so many other people have gone through it and just see it as a normal part of the process.
You can always pretend to be kidnapped and taken to remote locations unknown. When you're white and have a nice haircut, society (ie: Katie Couric & Matt Lauer) tend to forgive you for almost anything.
