The Silver Screen Oasis

Welcome to America & Marital Bliss, Masha. Long may you wave and be happy. I've wondered where you had gone but am delighted that you've returned with such joyous news and your droll humor intact. Let the revels begin!

Omigosh! I hope the ankle heals quickly and the next border guard doesn't know a word of Russian!

Masha,

My heartfelt congratulations to you on not only becoming an US citizen but to you and Capuchin as you celebrate being becoming husband and wife!

Long have I followed your saga at TCM City and here and I am so happy to see that this long awaited day of marriage has finally come to be for you!

Congratulations and may you have a lifetime of great times, love and memories in your future!

I am so happy for the both of you!!!!

Masha,

I just read your post about being a US Citizen and most importantly marrying your wonderful husband Capuchin as you begin your journey together in love and respect.

I'm was thrilled to read this.

Masha,

It is quite a happy surprise to read that you and your fiance have tied the knot -- I had the impression that your engagement had lasted for decades. Well done, kids!

He must have really wanted to marry you twice to take you to such a country, because only the civil ceremony is necessary for legal marriage -- religious ceremonies are optional, but not legally binding in countries such as France, and so are generally preceded a few days by the civil ceremony. [When there is going to be a religious ceremony, the reception generally takes place after that one.]

Perhaps the dancing at your reception looked something like this:

From the list of day trips you took, I would guess that the base camp for your honeymoon was northern Switzerland.

Other than the injury to your groom's ankle, it sounds like you had a great time.

And congratulations on the new citizenship, too.

Masha...congratulations on your marriage. I have folllowed some of the shenanigans of you two kids from the days of being over at TCM-City. I wish you both years of love and happiness.

Masha:

This is such wonderful news. Congratulations on both counts. Having been married 30 years myself I wish you a long and happy time together. It is a wonderful thing.

I admire you for your willingness and bravery for facing what must have been a daunting task to come here. I hope you enjoy the many benefits and even the responsibilities that come with your new home.

Best wishes.
