Sorry for the cross-post, but it kept sinking in OT! ;)

Anyway, if anyone from, say, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, VA, or DC would be interested in a gathering, give a holla here!

Abby (U.S.) and Ewen (Scotland): We laughed. We cried. Our witness didn't speak English. Happily married (finally), 27 December 2006.

Latest news: Green card received 16 April 2007. USCIS-free until 3 January 2009! Eligible to naturalize 3 April 2010.

That would basically be up to interested parties. Somewhere that's as mutually convenient as possible. :)

If you'll take location suggestions, how about River Valley Ranch--Carroll County, MD a little off-of MD-25?

(yeah, Pras and I could make such a gathering in May or June)

Ohhhh, that would be awesome, Rebecca! And Srini and Pras! :)

MD is about a 4-hour drive for me; not un-doable, particularly if we were to make a weekend out of it. Again, locale will probably depend on where people are coming from.

LOL, Torontonian and I know each other IRL and we had an, um, interesting hotel experience in Philadelphia once... ;)

Anyhoo, cool, Daisy! We'll keep that in mind.

LOL! Pax.

I don't know how many of you know this, but apparently Amtrak has this Metroliner that goes from Baltimore to NYC in 2.5 hours! I had no idea it was that fast...just another idea for getting to MD quickly, if that's where it's being held. It would definitely be the most convenient for me! ;)

Please check my profile for timeline info. :)

I'm up for it, we're in Baltimore. Any thoughts as to when?

"So they met on Tuesday at the town hall steps

To get an eight by ten photo and a wedding date set

We might as well do it next week

'cause we've met everybody that we're ever gonna meet

He's dad is a nut, he's ex-girl is a #######

But he'll be yours forever if you just get it together.

If we can't get it together, if we can't get it together

Is it ever gonna be just you and me?"
