    so you know...there's this

    g/
    which I think most of you know. Daddy part deux.

    (cut and paste, for some reason that link wont format)

    Initially both of us were more terrified of getting mm. m.
    .maaaaarried more than having a kid together after going
    through rough divorces ourselves.

    But we came around to it. But there was this buring question of
    how. Initially it was to be just a visit to the magistrate to get it
    done, but we approached early September. No good. Too close
    to her previous anniv. Early October nudges up to mine.

    Then the solution came.

    Halloween!!

    Problem. Eva is with her mom on Halloween and shes not one to
    give that up...not for this anyway.

    Solution. Midnight ceremony on Oct 30th.....in the woods, on
    our property. She will be with us that night and can have a rare
    opportunity for a child to witness a parent getting married.

    Offer. Quick email to a fistful of our closest friends in far away
    places to see if there was even a remote possibility of their
    attendance.

    All are coming. Airfare is blessedly low that weekend.

    A houseful of our best of friends, no annoying family, in the
    woods on our property, exchanging spider rings...all on
    Halloween weekend......Oh, and did I mention that Nate, being
    ordained, will do the ceremony.

    So goes all the fears of the second go round.

    More to come to be sure.

    i'm not sure seeing a parent getting married is all that rare anymore. but seeing it happen in the woods at midnight is.

    nate is ordained? as what?

    anyway - congratulations, mazel tov, and howler monkees.

    i guess you're right, its not that. but you know, shes never known
    anything other than separate mom and dad so for her its a pretty
    big deal.

    nate is one of these

    Congrats Patrick and I've meant to mention how wonderful it is that you AND your ex moved to N.C.for the benefit of Eva.
