I Got Married. Yay!

dan & sarah's wedding photo booth-3

His name is Dan. He’s great.

Thank everyone so much for all the kind wishes so far! I hope I don’t seem like I was trying to be sneaky; I just didn’t get around to posting about it, and since I hadn’t posted about getting engaged, it seemed abrupt maybe? I didn’t want to be all Look At Me Big Deal That Guy about it after I proposed, and then I thought, well, maybe when the ring comes, and then that took a while, and then we got married and I needed to rest, and then it was like, so do I just throw a “my husband” in here where it belongs or is that weird now.

(“YOU’RE weird now.” “Totally.”)

Anyway! Sorry. This is the newly married couple, being doofi in the photo booth Mr. Stupidhead set up for the wedding. We got married in my backyard in July, and had lobster roll and lit sparklers and laughed and laughed. (I proposed on my birthday, drunk, while eating clam roll. Please make all the jokes.)

Dan likes college basketball, iced tea, and being the cats’ favorite. I usually call him “Dirk Birthworthy, Professional Actor” around here. He’s my date to Promato 2014 if’n you want to meet him in person. Now we’re going on our honeymoon to eat even MORE seafood, because that’s how we (lobster) roll. When we get back, I will have the same advice I always did about wedding Vine questions, EXCEPT: brides, get the airbrushing. It looks really good and it stays PUT.

    Congratulations, Sars! I’m thrilled for you both, and holy fuck what a gorgeous photo that is. Have a wonderful honeymoon, and eat lots of clam rolls. Or make sure he does, at least.

    (…I’m sorry. Let’s just forget that happened.)

    Not that you need any more congratulations coming your way, but as a long time reader, this feels like finding out an old friend got married and it makes my heart happy. Congrats.

  • Sarah D. Bunting says:

    …You guys are the sweetest.

    A thing that happened on my honeymoon: Dirk Birthworthy, Professional Actor is not even really paying attention to what I’m doing at the lunch table — he’s reading the paper or something — but out of the corner of his eye sees me reaching for a mini pumpkin muffin from the bread basket. Without even looking over, he blocks the basket with his own hand.

    “…Raisin!”
    “Phew. Thanks, honey.”

  • SPM says:

    “…Raisin!”
    “Phew. Thanks, honey.”

    …Thus do the Fates bless your union. :)

    And the little funny not-too-personal stories like that are always welcome, if you’re inclined to share them.

  • FloridaErin says:

    Wha WHAAAAAA?? Congratulations to you both! What a fabulous surprise! I can’t even make jokes, because the whole situation sounds so perfectly you. :-)

  • Marie says:

    A big congrats from a longtime reader of your blog. Best wishes to you both!

  • Tarn says:

    Cheers to you both! Very happy for you!

  • Sars! SQUEEEEE!!

    Huuuuuuge and most heartfelt congrats! Wishing you both oodles of health, joy, safety, fun and success. (The “love” part is a given, DUH.) What a delightful surprise. Yay for you both!

    I’ve been reading you since about 2000 (I was 15 then, ZOMG) after discovering Mighty Big TV (meeeemoriiiieees) and I’m just stoked for you and your husband.

    Onward and upward!

  • CJ says:

    I know I already twitter congrats you and this is late but yay! You guys look great!

  • Jay says:

    Wishing you many happy years together.

    Congrats, big time.

  • Vanessa says:

    Congrats Sars!! So happy for you guys!

  • Lucy Smyth says:

    Sars – this is a very belated comment but congratulations to you and Dan. You dropped a “my husband” a couple of times in Previously.TV recaps and I thought perhaps I’d missed something somewhere along the line.

    The backyard wedding sounds idyllic and as stress free as a wedding could be.

  • monica says:

    hooray! congrats!

  • Jon says:

    Complimenti!

  • Sandman says:

    Heh. Dirk Birthworthy, Professional Actor and World-Ranked Semi-Pro Raisin-Blocker.

  • Congrats, Sars! Adorable picture. Much happiness to you both.

  • Lucy says:

    Holy crap I HAVE been gone a while. Congratulations!

  • Judi says:

    Congratulations!!!

  • Kay says:

    I just realized you have the same hair here that Kristen Wiig has in Bridesmaids. Love it!
