Joey Gets Married

Last weekend, my cousin Joey wed his lovely bride in the serenity of Altoona's foothills. Unfailingly, Joey's endearing qualities secured his popularity at Harkins' cousins reunions. On one notable revelrous occasion (circa 1996), I was sequestered in my mom's home office for a private tête-à-tête with my cousin Joey and another unnamed cousin. During this intimate conference, they conspired to persuade me of Joey's deeply amorous affection for me, explaining that a dating relationship would be acceptable since Joey was adopted and we were not blood relatives. I was aghast and I was flattered and then I was mortified. Grant it, Joey was adopted, but he was never in love with me. The whole thing was a hilarious deception, a joke not soon forgotten (or lived down). Fortunately for everyone, Joey elected to marry someone not related to him -in any way- and it was a delight to celebrate with him.

So when are you going to post something explaining away your weird relationship with Jake??? What's with you and the cousins? Maybe Eowyn should keep her distance from Malachi:)
