Thanks folks. Glad you all liked the poem!

I don't think we settled on a final definition of delmarriage. Richard does this fit your specification?

Delmarriage – having staggered out of bed in a state of unsatisfied arousal, the groom hurriedly dons a tuxedo, greets the local sheriff and his wife, utters “I belong ta you” and collapses back into bed in the same state of unsatisfied arousal. The other groom, having jerked off, does likewise.

PMSL! I like this!!  :D

Hi Jo. Excellent definition. That seems to capture the spirit of the event exactly. Great poem, too, BTW. Everyone seems to be in celebratory mood today!!
I gave him what I hoped was that hopeful innocent puppy look that said “don’t you just want ta rub my tummy” rather than that hungry, ravenous wolf look that said “why don’t you just come out a that brick house so I can eat you up little pig?” LVH: 'What I did on my Day Off'

good luck in the big shopping world, Milli. I have given up shopping for good, except of it is at a German Christmas market.

Hi everyone,
I have been lurking here for quite some time and now that I saw you might have a re-read of the LS, I finally gathered up the courage to join, so I could have something to pass the time with, until I will be able to read Dupree's Choice.  :)
I hope you won't mind my mistakes in English too much, it's not my mother tongue after all.

Louise,
thank you so much for your story, I always enjoyed reading it so much since I discovered it (you were at "Taking Chances" chapter 62 then) and it really helped me overcome my BBM-depression after seeing the movie in the theatres in March.
I know this might sound a bit weird, because you don't know me at all, but I also wanted to say I hope you had a nice birthday today (I'm still in time for birthday wishes, if just barely ;)). I mean, I've been loving your story for such a long time now, that I kinda feel I can say Happy Birthday nonetheless. :)

Welcome Lhuthiel! English isn't my native tongue either so you won't be the only one making mistakes!  ;)  ;D

Thanks for the warm welcome opinionista, Louise and Bigheart, I already feel much better (I'm always so nervous about registering anywhere). :)
It's also nice to know I'm not the only one who might have language difficulties.
And yes, Louise, I'm German, how did you guess? Anyway, it's even better to know, there's someone to ask on language problems. :)
I just opened up a LJ account on the same name as here, I would be real grateful, if it's possilble you friend me.
