On April 7, 2006 shortly after 1:20 p.m., Scott Longmire and Christine Muttini
were married at 1060 W. Addison, Chicago, IL, an address known to the unitiated
as Wrigley Field. The Cubs home opener against the St. Louis Cardinals provided
secondary entertainment for a small group of diehard friends and family.

Bridesmaid and cousin Donna Muttini tries to keep warm during a short sermon,
silently thanking the good Lord for the gift of pastoral brevity.
"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here ..."
Oh man, I had that ring here somewhere!
Do you, Christine, take this man Scott ...
Do you, Scott, take this woman Christine ...
You bet I do!
You may now kiss the bride!
I now pronounce you husband and ... Scott? HEY!!

pronouce you husband and wife.
