which is what happened to an employee in our dept. He told no one until the day it happened ...yesterday and casually. So he went off on his lunch break and got married to his GF. No special clothing, etc. They had been together for last 2 yrs. I first learned of it via another employee as I was running around trying to find a better meeting rm. with workable technology. She had rustled up money to buy a collective wedding card for all us to hurriedly sign our good wishes.

Then he decided to take the afternoon off as a vacation day.

It such a surprise to all of us.

But I understand yesterday, being 12-12-12, was a popular day for some folks to get married.

I realize it is no one's business when or where you get married. That love, respect and fidelity is all that counts but still the act of marriage at least deserves a special whole day. Doesn't have to have the wedding dress, etc. but the couple can celebrate it privately with lots of time by setting aside a whole day.

I guess I'm old fashioned...even though I'm not married but with dearie for last 21 years.
