Any of these would be a really nice avatar, I think!

Re: Delmarriage definitions
There appears to be a degree of confusion among you all about the way this word should be defined. Here is my original posting where I launched the new word onto an unsuspecting world:

In light of impending events in Laramie, we need a definition prepared for when the day arrives.
Please submit your suggestions for a definition of the word delmarriage. The best entry will be added to the Lexicon. The judge (me!) will have final decision on all entries. And, yes, I do accept bribes - send Nick the sailor to me; I need urgently to be sampsonised.

What I had in mind was the actual 'wedding' day that is yet to be given to us by Louise - the private ceremony on Sunday where Wes presides and Edna will be the sole witness. I was trying to combine the words 'del Mar' and 'marriage' [duh!] to describe that day, at least as it applies to Ennis's pov on it I was not thinking of the 'first viewing of the rings' evening that E & E have recently gone through, which appears to be what Leslie has taken it to mean and for which she has written a beautiful and comprehensive definition.
So, what should be done here? I suppose it can be argued that we adopt the Humpty Dumpty position of 'When I use a word it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.' Then I might get all parochial and pout in reply, "It's my word - I invented it, and I'm not going to let you redefine it." I suggest that the best solution might be to let all comers give it whatever definition they like, referring to whichever day they wish. Additionally, if she wants to, Leslie might choose either to redefine her entry or to leave as it presently is, as she prefers.
Anyway, the challenge still remains open, so keep the entries coming in.
And thanks to the bribee - I've had one visit from Nick, and he says he wants to come again!
