Newlyweds for 785 days!
ABOUT ANA
I see crazy people. And I give them good meds. As a third-year Temple med student, I'm currently on my rotating through hospitals all around the city of brotherly love. In between stays in the lockdown ward and the OR, I play mommy to two kittens, Scout and Fuzzy. Whenever possible, I try to finagle massages out of the kind gentleman listed below, and when that’s not going to happen, I peruse the Crate and Barrel website. By the time we reach the big day, I will have completed many more rotations at Temple, but you never forget your first schizophrenic, borderline patient. I like to call him Teddy.

HOW WE MET
During sophomore year at Penn, at a diner on South Street. When the tab arrived (the check, not the soft drink), Ted and Ana each chipped in what seemed like a fair share. Ted counted the loose change that Ana had deposited, and proceeded to call her a "cheap tipper." She responded by calling him [unmentionable].
WHEN WE GOT ENGAGED
May 12, 2003
HOW IT HAPPENED
Six years later, on a Monday morning, Ted and Ana returned to the diner after Ana's last med school exam. They downed a delightful meal of omelets and Freedom toast, after which the check arrived -- again. This time, things went better; no rabid cat scratching and few profanities. Ana flipped over the bill while Ted bent down to pick up a spoon that he'd dropped. Curiously, when the words "Ana, will you marry me" were read, the same unmentionable was uttered -- but this time in a slightly different tone. It was followed by a teary-eyed "yes." And then, with a properly bejeweled finger, Ana permanently soiled Ted’s Brooks Brothers shirt with her mascara.

ABOUT THE BIG DAY
Think trained chimpanzees riding on the backs of Border collies, rodeo style. Couple that with genetically-engineered passenger pigeons, brought back from extinction. As the chimps lasso one another, the pigeons take flight, moving into a formation that resembles Roseanne Barr. Yeah, our wedding will be nothing like that. But it’s a nice image, isn’t it?
