Congratulations!

Just in time! Now you have to filed your taxes for 2007 as "married". See the stickied thread in OT to find out how much more you're going to have to pay :p

more, really? i thought it would be less than each of them filing single.

No, it's generally more. That's why they call it the marriage penalty.

The marriage penalty. You've undoubtedly heard about the marriage-tax penalty, the quirk in the tax law that makes a married couple pay more income tax than they would have to if they remained single. Here's a little secret: Most married couples get a marriage bonus: paying less income tax than they would if each partner were single.

Marriage still has plenty of penalties even if the tax deal has been remedied. :p

It hasn't been remedied. In addition to the other penalties, being married costs me thousands in extra taxes each year.

Congrats, OP. Another alternative for quickly finding an officiant is to have someone you know become a minister through the Universal Life Church. Dunno if it works in your state, but in CA, I was able to become a minister online and perform a marriage the next day.

I believe that posting after a marriage with a story like that without pics or registering the wife is/should be a banable offense... ;)

congrats! :beer:

That's exactly why DrMod wanted her to get an account so he can ban her ass. :evil:

:p

Oh btw... Congrats! :wine:

Congrats and what a great story! Of course, you'll have a little trouble trying to explain to the grandkids 30 years down the road what craigslist is.

But was I the only one under the impression that the OP found the wife on craigslist...?

That's what I was expecting to read, too.
