Not much yet - first step was to agree on a date And then tell family.


Now we have to decide where, how many to invite, what to wear, etc.

For what it's worth, I dabble in astrology as a hobby and can say you gentlemen chose a very auspicious day! If you can, try to take your vows in the afternoon and as close to 5 pm EST as possible.

All the best. Health, wealth, and happiness!

a Grand Trine - the most auspicious combination of all!

Think of it as a triangle with Venus, the moon, and Jupiter on each point. Any triangular pattern on an astral chart is good news, but to have it created by those three particular bodies makes it doubly so (at least).

Astrologers believe an astral chart (which is actually just a diagram of our solar system as seen from a particular place in a particular point in time) colors anyone or anything "born" under its influence for the rest of its natural life - and that includes any contracts, edicts, agreements, and of course marriages.

Having said that, I would only suggest that the ceremony take place in the afternoon, and as close to 5 p.m. EST as possible. Any questions, please feel free.

Above all, have a blessed wedding, dbackjon, and the best to you and yours for the many days ahead.

She wanted an autumn wedding like her mom and dad. When I geekily pointed out to her that 1024 was two to the tenth power, she just rolled her eyes (I'm used to it).

Anyway, congrats again to you and Alex--here's to a lifetime of happiness to you both!

Congratulations.

I can't help but notice that you two already look like each other, just like an old married couple.

May you have continued happiness.

Are you planning a big to do or a small one?

We are working out the details. Medium to do likely. Not a sit down, but buffet style likely.


Depends on the pocketbook.

No, we are not - but we get that a lot

We are five year apart in age.

Alex's heritage is Mexican, Spanish and Mayo Indian.
Mine is German, English and Scottish.

tickles me! How can it be that you look so "identical"?
you, dbackjon, and I are actually more similar than that in heritage.
look at this:

reply 44 is mine.
I don’t talk about this a lot, for obvious reasons…but today it is on my mind
