Say, that's a great idea! I'll have to think about what I'm going to have to say at my wedding. Something like:
My dearest Melaniesixtyeight,
I was born in the winter of 1985, to a pair of eccentric immigrant parents in the vast expanses of Saskatchewan. As a child, I was extremely precocious and constantly made fun of as a result. At the age of ten, I decided that I wanted to make video games. At the age of twenty, I became Supreme Ruler of the Universe. Sadly, people are still having to adjust to this fact. It breaks my heart.
Of course, you probably don't care about a word of any of this, and probably shouldn't. The point is, darling, that I promise from the bottom of my heart to completely neglect and occasionally make a complete fool out of you. (That is, until one of us dies (most likely you), or until I get tired of bothering you and decide to find a new forum spouse.) I hope that you find as much joy from this arrangement as I undoubtedly will, but if you don't, then that's okay, because I probably won't even care all that much.
I wish I could stand here and chat with you some more, but I really, really want to have the cake already.
With regurgitated sentimentality,
Squinky

"Poor Unfortunate Souls" is my personal favourite. Though maybe I should play that at the wedding...
