This weekend, my wife and I tied the knot at the Silver Queen hotel in Virginia City, Nevada, 4 years after we had our first date there. It was a great experience.
After the ceremony, I was able to have a pipe there. The Silver Queen is located in the building that Samuel Clemens first used the pen name Mark Twain at the newspaper that was housed there.
It was pretty neat to stand in the spot where he stood and smoke a cob like he smoked.

Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes! She is truly a saint for putting up with me the first few years until I grew up. I'm just glad she saw something in me worth hanging on to!

Congratulations and best to you. What a great place to get married- so rich with history as you begin to write your own stories in life.

Well, congratulations! I waited 4 years for my wife to accept me as well. Best part is we are best friends which helps the longevity thing; going on 41 years this next month. Hope the same for you!
