Yes, I will prove my marriage by going on a boat.
This boat will visit places in May that are more advanced than anything currently available in the waters of New England.

Orbital maneuvering will commence thusly...
New York -> Bermuda -> St. Thomas -> St. Maarten -> San Juan -> New York

At some point before then I will receive federal passport papers and also get married. Sometime in September there will be family celebrations. The families are likely reading this blog now so I'll keep this next part quiet.

(how am I going to explain that my mom is made out of anti-matter?)

Friends also will be selected at random over the coming months to join in a celebration.

You gotta be 10% smarter than the equipment you're running
