I Married a MeFite!
On Monday, July 27, at the Shelby County Courthouse in Columbiana Alabama, MetaFilter members BitterOldPunk and elizard were united in unholy matrimony. They plan to stay in Alabama until elizard can't stand it one more fucking instant and then abscond back to Canada, where BOP is expected to bitch about the weather and the price of cigarettes.
This never would have happened had it not been for MetaFilter and MetaChat. Oh, internets. Is there nothing you can't do? Thanks, MetaFilter, for being a place that brings people together, sometimes for real real.

elizard's user picture shows her firing a pistol. Presumably that will be a problem if y'all return to Canada.
By the way, congratulations. (And please ask Brandon Blatcher for instructions on using the "spouse" tag.)

Yeah, this is one of the least eponysterical MeTas in a long time.
Not only am I very happy for you, (you give me hope), I was sort of witness to this as I followed along on your Twitter feed. Unlike other bitter and old MeFites, you are your username. Your recent tweet about tubetop girl was teh awesome. I recommend you as an add to all MeFites.

Ok, Brandon Blatcher, I updated my contacts page. And elizard just called me a slut for enspousenating so many MeFites. And I was all like no baby it ain't like that you my best girl now go make me a pie.
As to how we met: we talked on MetaChat, then via email, then via telephone. She was going to take a vacation to Belize, and I suggested switching her return flight to my town. So she did, and we hit it off. A few months later she came back down with her awesome cat, Al, the Best Cat Ever. And the rest is history.

Nice. I vote that it also include married mefites who didn't meet through Metafilter (or online). That sounds self-serving, I know, but it's not. I don't care if I'm on the page. But I am interested in knowing about other couples here. (Just so I know who to invite to the first-annual Metafilter swingers party.)

I knew all about this before it happened because I was following BOP on (shudder) Twitter. Although for a while there it was unclear whether BOP was going to marry eliz or BoringPostcards. Such are the limitations of 140 characters. Still, it shows that the Site Full of Twits has some functional value.
Still, CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN.

Wait wait wait. Columbiana? With the big Victorian courthouse in the middle of the traffic circle? Small world -- my wife's from about 10 miles NE of Columbiana, and pretty soon we're going there to deal with my mother-in-law's terminal illness.
So when I drive past the courthouse on the way to figuring out where the heck the bank is (for the fifteenth time), I'll think of you two. Congrats!

I don't know, I only count two.
This makes me feel so warm and fuzzy I think my stomach might be growing hair inside. Err, I mean Happy Wedding!

I am going to rub my laptop on a dirty shirt to see if Metafilter can get the stain out, because there is nothing that this website cannot do.

That's a great wedding pic. Congratulations to you both.
And ha ha, I spoused her before you did. ;)
She used to visit us the bunnies in irc, and then I guess you stole her from us. You lucky bastard. Best wishes and all that!

Congratulations, BitterOldPunk and elizard!
I love how BitterOldPunk lives up to his username by wearing a tuxedo t-shirt and jeans to his wedding, and how he and the now-wife have cigarettes sticking out of their sneering mouths while sticking up their middle fingers to the camera. Beautiful, clearly a great match!

I think I detect no cunts in hats present at that wedding ceremony (I know you would never have played the chicken dance) and I'm thrilled for you both. Congratulations!

And holy crap, meta-weirdness! I drove by the Columbiana courthouse on the 27th, on my way back to SC from the lake! If I'd known y'all were there tying the knot, I would have stopped by and dropped off a present.
