Marian and Kerri

I've known for months, but had to keep the news under wraps until more family members were aware: marian_w and Kerri plan to get married next August. I'm concerned that Marian is still very young—she will turn 19 this December—however by next summer they will have been in a domestic partnership for more than two years. I can't accuse them of being hasty. One of the things I like about Kerri is she's family-oriented, in fact she instigates get-togethers with my family. This weekend was a good time.
