Patricia,

That is wonderful news! Best wishes to you both.

Congrats and best wishes!!!

Isn't anyone going to express concern for holding a lifecycle celebration at a "spiritual retreat center?" Isn't that too cheerful for an atheist wedding? I certainly hope there's going to be some catastrophic confrontation with reality to ensure that Real Atheist (TM) standards are satisfied.

Or at least some serious good wine.

Yay!

Who's Trout Lake Abbey? Is this some sort of—I don't know the exact pronunciation but I believe it's...ménage à trois?

Whatever the arrangement, congratulations Patricia!

Also, it must be pointed out, I think our Queen Of Sluts has a damned good excuse for not hanging out around here. I think we can tolerate her absence for a good while longer.

I would cheer and jump up and down, but I don't want to cause an earthquake in our area. So I'll just applaud and cheer the happy couple instead. Long may they be happy.

Lughnasadh sounds like a fine time for a wedding.

Well, when Patricia gets back from the honeymoon, she had better start planning the party for PZ's millionth comment. The Pullet Patrol™ is no help, as the keep eating the donuts I put out for the meeting, then wandering off...

What wonderful news! Wishing you both, and the pullets, much happiness, and many delicious pies.

Best Wishes, Patricia!

Does this mean people will be doing a roundup for a wedding gift? Like maybe a diamond-studded spanking couch?

Congrats for getting a second bite at the big apple of marriage! Long may it last and may your days of joy increase from year to year. Come back to us soon, though!

I’m new enough to not have a clue as to who she is, but please permit me to join y’all in offering my deepest condolences to the new couple.

(Wait…that is what one is supposed to offer on such an occasion, right? And, if they actually take me up on the offer…where am I supposed to buy them? How much do they cost? How many will they want? Hell, for that matter, what do they actually smell like?)

Cheers,

Ben Goren, Patricia is one of the reasons why I love this blog. She is a former snake kisser who came to her senses. Because of this, she knows all the parts of the bible that the thumpers love to throw at we wicked atheists. And she beats them at their own game. She is also the Queen Of Sluts with her Brass Brassiere, Spanking Couch for all of the willing and unwilling denizens, the Pullet Patrol and trebuchet filled with chicken shit.

Not trying to bring down the celebration here, but last year, her husband died. Needless to say, she had a rough time. We long time regulars are celebrating that she has got some happiness and good times back in her life.

Now back to the partying! Nerd! Where is my grog?

By Janine, Mistre… (not verified) on 13 May 2010 #permalink

Where is my grog?

What? I left it on the bar. *looks over the bar, sees the spilled tankard on the ground with the puddle being swilled by the Pullet Patrol™* Sigh. *draws another and hands it directly to Janine.*

By Nerd of Redhead, OM (not verified) on 13 May 2010 #permalink

Many, many happy years, Patricia! Best of wishes to you and the man lucky enough to marry the Queen. May your fainting couch and pullets be joyful!

May you both be happy,

and may the days be as moments, but the moments a whole life long.
