Ok, let me tell you what I did this weekend. I got married. Yep. Legal and everything. She's already looked for a loophole, but I've got this deal wrapped up tight. We had both done this, uh, "wedding thing" before and, in our eyes, that ruled out a big formal ceremony. So what's the opposite? Vegas. The Little White Chapel. Schtick. Fun. Tenderness.
The Famous Little White Wedding Chapel may be one of the cheesiest and sweetest places in America. But at first glance you have to say to yourself, "Look at that place! You call that romantic?" I don't blame you for thinking that. I certainly did once the limo dropped us off there.
Of course, things got much better when the soon to be Mrs. Liberally Lean walked through the door and the staff said, "You look like a Barbie Doll!"
But the minister was the sweetest, grandfather type you've ever seen who had worlds of advice and treated the ceremony with dignity, respect and reverence. There's actually about three chapels in there and we, for obvious reasons, ended up with one of the smaller/intimate ones. That guy was so great. Doors shut. Nice music in the background. Beautiful flowers everywhere. Never before have I gone from "I'm not so sure about this place" to "This is the greatest moment of my life" in such a short period of time.
And then we topped it off with a photographer who unintentionally sounded just like Borat. He put the icing on the cake when he told Mrs. Liberally Lean (who wonderfully tricked up the event by wearing a tiara to complement a gorgeous dress), that "You 'ave funny 'usband."
As were were getting our pictures taken outside, a tourist couple walked by and immediately stopped down to watch us. During a quick down time, we asked them where they were from. They told us "Columbia" and I, for some reason, blurted out, "I just watched a documentary on Pablo Escobar!" That prompted the couple to look at each other with a confused look and Mrs. LL to look at me with big eyes and fire off a quiet, "What's wrong with you?"
The wedding was absolutely, 100% fun. And that's the way it should be.
(More detailed observations about the weekend later.)

Awww!
How long has that s10 blazer been in Decatur by Speedo man?
Congratulations, Barry, to you and your new Esposita!
And let me be the first to note the beginning of The End for Barry's Blog. It will take a while, but it will die a slow death after marriage, much like late night jam sessions, hunting weekends with your bros, and your friends hanging out at your house.
;)
Congrats!
So happy for both of you. You look really happy and relaxed, Barry. That's the way it should be! ;)
Please let me take your new bride shoe shopping, though. How does she not learn anything from watching Sex and the City?
Congrats again!
Man, Barrister, she is absolutely stunning. What the hell is wrong with her? QUICK---ANNUL, ANNUL!!!!!!
Good luck- wish you the best.
Congratulations Barry!......you do look a bit thin. Maybe the Mrs. will fatten you up.
Stay happy!!
barron, does she play banjo?
Nice pics, Barry. You look really nice, and your bride....STUNNING!!
Congratulations Barry
You both look so happy and I couldn't be happier for you both. I don't know your bride (or at least I dont' think I do) but I'm sure she must be wonderful! You are deserving of a life filled with happiness. Thank you for sharing this moment with all of your readers as well as sharing your insights each and every day on the blog.
I may change my name from Propagandist to Prognosticator. Way to go Barry. You need to tell all the other old single guys your secret for landing such a beauty.
Congratulations, I'm happy for you both.
Congratulations to you both!
Barry -
Congratulations to you and your betrothed. The very best to you both!
My Other Brother Darryl
ps - Luv the Vegas nuptials approach!
Yep. Wondered when ya'll were going to make it official. Mrs LL looks gorgeous in that dress and tiara and you actually cleaned up pretty good to for a lawyer. Haha.
Remember, the best way to keep them happy is to learn how to say "yes, my dear" with sincerity.
I got married there one time! Yep, same chapel.
Barry, you look like a shoe salesman from Green's Dry Goods!
Never wear that suit again...
Congrats Barry !!!!
Have you ever heard the phrase (Out kicked your coverage)
Mrs LL is a HAWTY !!!!
Congrats to you both! She's a beauty. Nice job, Barry!
Damn, I take a week off from reading LLFTLODQ and all hell breaks loose! Congrats, make sure that prenup is airtight....I would have been there but I was in the desert in search of hookers and cocaine!
GAWD will you just admit you're GAY and stop all of these elaborate stage shows to try and convince yourself you aren't! Everyone knows differently and Mr. Mike Honcho even took out an add on your free classified just so he could have a message from you in his email in box.
Time to start keeping memoirs for your future award winning book, "How to ruin the perfect relationship"
Congratulations!!!
Maybe we can see your Liberally Lean wife as an afternoon pick me up
Ha ha......MzCreep is so jealous she can't even bring herself to post congrats.
