The main reason Brewer and I got married was that at the time we were looking for a new school for DD who was 10 and every time I introduced him, I thought of Cloris Leachman in Young Frankenstein proclaiming "He vas my BOYFRIEND!"

In the midst of this, my brothers were planning a baseball game rendezvous in San Francisco, and I was mad because I couldn't find cheap flights, so I floated the idea (or proposed?) that we drive and stop in Reno to get married.

(Do I need to add that we live in possibly the most conservative state in the US?)
