In honor of the occasion, I have opened a page on the Mefi Wiki to celebrate couples that have met because of Metafilter! Sadly I'm failing miserably at adding links. occhiblu, perhaps you'd like to add yourself? :D

occhiblu, perhaps you'd like to add yourself? :D

Only if we add a "#IHookedUpWithAMefiteAndThenLeftMetafilter" to the tags. :-)

If it's fine by Twitter, it's fine by me :D

Congatulations, BOP and elizard!

Hey cool. Congratulations both!

But will BOP stay bitter once he's happily married? SanguineContentedOldPunk just doesn't have the same ring.

Thanks, everybody! Though I suspect elizarde is only doing it to get access to our state-of-the-art healthcare system and booming economy.

posted by BitterOldPunk 26 July | 20:28

Congratulations! I hope you have the best day ever!

posted by MonkeyButter 26 July | 20:40

Awesome! Congratulations to you both. Y'all should come out to Vegas with us the week of August 16th for a prehoneymoon honeymoon. Jon might even dress up like Elvis.

He will once I put my nefarious plan into action. Mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Damn. Shouldn't have announced that until tomorrow night.

Thanks for all the good wishes, everyone, and thanks to MetaChat for introducing us in the first place.

And I promise to remain as profane and grumpy as ever.

Anything on couples that have divorced because of MetaFilter?

"But wait! Someone is wrong on the internet!"

Belatedly wishes he'd taken up a certain somebody's offer. Carpe diem, kids.

Mazel Tov!.....FWIW, my acerbic (also bitter) step-uncle mellowed A LOT after his marriage, but he STILL scares the shit out of people.

I wanna hear about the proposal. Is this something I'd need to understand twitter to understand?

Wow - awesome. As a member of the "I Met My Dream Girl On Metachatfilter," my name is Lipstick Thespian and I approve this message.

Oh, this day just keeps getting better and better! Congrats, you two!!

Hey, I don't see why not - it could all go on the MeFi-Enabled Relationships page. It's totally self-nominating, so as long as both parties are OK with it, seems fine to me.

posted by Miko 27 July | 08:51

My sincere best wishes to you both. You have married a formidable woman. . .(a good thing)

posted by danf 27 July | 10:06

Yay :D

Is it a coincidence that I decided to look at MetaChat after a long time away, just in time to see this news? Congratulations and big hugs and whuffles!!!

So BOP can get Canadian benefits too or has elizard been sucked into the US?
Wacky kids getting all married and such.

Awesomeness! Congratulations you crazy kids! Yay!

posted by TheDonF 27 July | 16:37

Awww, you guys. Shucks.

We've got responsibilities here so we'll be staying for the foreseeable. Unfortunately, this also means we won't be going to Vegas with Pips & jonmc, which would be way fun and which otherwise we'd leap at so thanks for the invite. I'm looking forward to showing him Canada, my Canada when we're able, though.

More pics.

It was incredibly cool, and I felt so honored to be a part of it. I know they must be sick of it by now, but here one's last *HUG!!* to the bride & groom! :)

posted by BoringPostcards 27 July | 18:48

cool!

posted by special-k 27 July | 18:55

I feel that somewhere I've congratulated you two, but now I'm not sure, and hell, I would hate to think that the absence of my well-wishing might mar your otherwise wonderful day, so....

Enjoy some sincere wishing of well from this canuckian sonofabitch. All the best you two!
