Thirty years ago today I married the man of my dreams.

And about thirteen years ago he introduced me to DU.

As I posted last week we had to cancel our trip to Catalina (where we got married) because of Covid. Turns out it was a good decision because I read that Matt Gaetz went there to marry his child bride a few days ago. Probably infected the whole island.

Anyway, Happy Anniversary CloudWatcher.

She's 26 to his 39 (I think). The speculation is that he married her so she couldn't testify against him. Sounds about right.

This was all just speculation on a DU thread a few days ago (or maybe yesterday...time is meaningless ). I'm just astonished that any semi-sentient being would would marry that ugly asshole.

The ‘bride of gaetzinstein’ was warned by her sister. Her sister has been vocal in her disgust of ‘mattasshole the sex trafficker’.

Eeeeww, Matt Gaetz went to Catalina to get married??? A shame - such a blight on that sweet little island. Went there many times, even on a high school field trip. Enjoyed it immensely.

Congrats on your 30th anniversary! That’s impressive!

CloudWatcher and I went there early in our relationship, and it was an absolutely magical trip. That's why we decided to get married there. But we haven't been back since the wedding. (We live in Colorado now.)

Hopefully we can try again on our 31st . Maybe the Gaetz stench will have worn off by then.

he may have left behind.

Sweet little place. Nice safe harbors. Good scuba diving if you’re into that sort of thing. My dad is see to take us over there on weekends when he had a boat.
