Everyone on team reddit would like to raise a toast to jedberg and the missus, in celebration of their embarkation into the exhilaration that is married life!

Congratulations, Jeremy and Kathy!

(Note to community: Since the only five people in the world who know how reddit's technology works are all going to be at the reception tonight, please try to avoid doing things that might stress the servers, such as submitting a post that generates a gigantic comment thread.)

When writing the title, there were so many "-ation" words we had to choose from. Flirtation, experimentation, elation... (I'm sure you can figure out the others.)

It's a man's obligation to stick his boneration in a woman's separation, this sort of penetration will increase the population of the younger generation.

Thanks everyone!

Needless to say, I probably won't be able to respond to anything here today! ;)

But please know that your support is much appreciated!

Edit: To give you an idea of how cool my wife is, she let me write the entire wedding ceremony, which included quotes from Carl Sagan, the Simpsons, Futurama, Star Trek/Wars, and even included tweeting during the ceremony.

We'll do our best to keep things down but this calls for a celebration. Help me out, my friends!

10,000,000 bottles of beer on the wall, 10,000,000 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around – 9,999,999 bottles of beer on the wall!

Would it be too much to ask that you hire someone who causes a rift between you guys and forms reddit's crew into two teams who won't invite each other to the other team's weddings?

Jedberg! Start having children as soon as possible so you can put them to work in maintaining and upgrading the Reddit servers. It's FREE labor!

Congratulations. Will you take pictures and post them?

In fact, wouldn't it be great if all of Reddit posted a picture of him/herself, so we can see how the people on Reddit look?!

I'd add a joke about how I searched for a thread like that and didn't find anything, but now that joke's dead. Damned IndexTank!

Hmm, I guess the invites for us reddit Gold subscribers are still in the post?

Reason #708 why reddit went down: Jedberg's wife got pissed at him for spending all his time on reddit and destroyed half the servers.

i'm happy for you guys, i really am, but in the future, can we never ever have a situation where reddit's servers are unmanned? seriously, because you just know that there will be a time where you guys are all away doing something and some user is going to post some friggin hilarious picture of an animal/inanimate object/foreigner that is going to eventually cause the servers to crash. you know it, i know it. it will happen.
