…just for an excuse to have this wedding cake.
(Don't worry, Mary—I want the bride to be the same person I married the first time.)

In case you didn't know, the marriage proposal launched by Jodi (asking Jason) and largely organized by Stephanie, has resulted in an answer.
Congratulation Jodi and Jason!
Not long before this internet round robin was launched, Jodi made a limited distribution, organized by Stephanie, of some…
I was bewildered by this LA times article over the weekend describing the latest tactic of the DOMA defenders planning to argue before the Supreme Court, that is, that marriage is necessary for heterosexuals only because of the possibility of accidental child bearing.
Marriage should be limited…
The state of California now issues gender-neutral marriage licenses: they simply register the legal relationship of "Party A" and "Party B", where the relevant individuals fill out their actual names. That sounds reasonable and straightforward to me — it's a state-mandated contract.

SkookumPlanet sent me a tantalizing photo.
Contemplate the possibilities.

Wow! I wonder if Ankh-Morpork is curry flavoured.
No, it would be represented by a carbuncle...
As catered by CMOT Dibbler. I'll pass, thanks.
The sad part is that, off the top of my head, I can name the turtle, and two of the elephants.
I thought it was "turtles all the way down," or am I confusing this with another story?
Little Known Fact: You don't actually have to get married to have cake. Not even tortoise-shaped cake. Or tiered.

You eat endangered sea turtles?! I thought only Republicans did that!

Very, very cool. You know, that cake at the U of M for Darwin Day needed some oomph--this gave me an idea for a Galapagos cake, in the shape of one of the islands, with turtles and birds. But it would definitely have to be edible. Just use lots of marzipan.
