Congratulations Chikuzen

Michael is getting married tomorrow morning.  Let's offer him some well wishes (or condolences for the loss of his genitals, I kid his wife to be is very nice and not at all immasculating like MY ex-wife.  Wow, apparently I have some issues).

Congratulations Michael and Aura!

I think it attracts them OK, but then they're often scared away by the other people it attracts.

Re: Congratulations Chikuzen

Here is something that may interest Chikuzen.  Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek, was married on August 6, 1969 in Japan.  He and his bride (I don't know her name, but she was the voice for the ship's computer in the original Star Trek and Counselor Troi's mother in the Next Generation) were dressed in traditional Japanese wedding garments and married in what is loosely described as a Shinto-Buddhist ceremony.

Apparently the bride, Majel, was also that hot blonde nurse from the original series as well.
