My best friend from freshman year in college got married last year, it turns out. While I was disappointed to hear about it in our alumni mag, I was thrilled to be reading such an item in an alumni mag. (We fell out of touch after college, tracked each other down after 9/11, then lost touch again. I don't think not sending me an announcement was anything personal. He has a history of changing his ISP and losing his address book every time.)
I'll never make it as a proper homophobe and raht-thinkin' Amerkin. When I saw the announcement, I got tears of joy in my eyes (and there they are again) just as with any wedding of a dear friend, plus an admixture of "what brave guys." Like Dorothy Parker, I always have to cry a little bit about courage.
I want to send a congratulatory email and also abuse him for not telling me about it personally, but be absolutely clear that I'm kidding about the latter. Is this ok?:
"Mazel tov!
"Just saw in the (redacted) that you and (redacted) were married last year. Awesome! Kindly accept huge congratulationage.
"Wish I'd gotten a personal note about this, but I figure you probably lost my email address again. Still, it's a pity about that huge yacht I was going to get you...
"Note: Somebody getting married from the class of '03 topped you. 'The late Fr. Chuck Pfeiffer officiated...' Can't help but think there might have been a better way to phrase that.
"Again, Mazel tov!"
Edits: As it turns out, I can neither spell two-letter words nor remember three-letter acronyms.:P
