The Baristanet crew sends out its heartiest best wishes to Miss Martta Rose, who becomes a married woman today, with former Glen Ridge Mayor Carl Bergmanson officiating. Please send us a picture, so we can replace this Facebook picture with a stunning shot of the lady in white!
Starting here, starting now, she's Mrs. Martta.
All the best MM!!!
(Although the pix made me think of the Runnaway Bride..... gonna have to wait for the official announcement to make sure you jumped the broom proper like.)
Tip of my Hat to you Mrs.M
Long & Happy Life for both of you.
Congrats.
Congratulations and best wishes, Miss M. As one who has been married several times, I speak as a firm believer in the institution.
For other people!
MM-
Congratulations, my fellow dog lover and WO resident! Now that it's official, when can we expect the stork to drop a quadruped into your home?
Hope to run into you again soon!
Congrats.
Looking forward to seeing Mrs. Martta's first posting.
All the best.
Thanks for all the kind wishes! I've re-registered as Mrs. Martta but it takes some time to activate. I also sent Deb an updated photo. And no, we did NOT get married in running clothes! :-)
Any honeymoon plans?
Wildwood and Atlantic City for a couple days.
Congratulations! Wishing you many wonderful years together.
Gorgeous flowers, by the way!
Mrs Martta..u looked gorgeous. I was thinking and praying for u 2 today that the weather would hold. Way to go TK!!!!!
congratulations and best wishes for a lifetime of health, happiness and unbridled delight!
One of the most amazing things is that we had no rain. (OK, it sprinkled for about 10 minutes but way after the ceremony!) This after checking weather.com for a week and having it say 60% chance of T-storms. Amazing.
MM - may you be blessed with many happy years together. Congratulations and best wishes!
Congratulations! Are those lovely sunflowers from your garden?
All the best to you both--great picture. Inquiring Spouse and I recently celebrated our 19th anniversary, (more amazing to me than anyone else!)--I offer our keys to a long and happy marriage:
1. Inquiring Spouse is required to make me laugh at least once a day. At him, or with him, doesn't matter.
2. We both have to want a divorce at the same time--so far, that hasn't happened.
3. A good cleaning service.
4. Basic civility, including "please" and "thank you" go a long way.
Many years of happiness to you.
Congratulations Miss Martta and Mayor Bergmanson. Best wishes.
Thanks, everyone. I WISH those sunflowers were from my garden. No, (gratuitous plug coming up), they were provided by Accents with Flowers on Church Street in Montclair. GREAT store!
I do have a sunflower-in-training in my garden. If the deer stop eating the buds, it might be as beautiful some day.
Lasermike, I don't think she married Mayor Bergmanson. I think he officiated at the ceremony.
LOL, yes, that's right! I don't think Mrs. Bergmanson would appreciate that very much! :-)
omg......that's wild: until now, I thought hizonor was the groom LOL. I guess I missed the word 'officiating'...
Congratulations to you!
First comes love,
then comes marriage,
then come labs!
Martta, you're a worldly woman who probably has everything so that likely makes gift-giving hard. So, here's a simple little gift.

Dear Mrs. Martta! Congrats to you and Tom, and our best wishes for a long, healthy, and happy life together. Looking forward to slurping some more cocktails on the Iceman's deck with you all.
From Conan and She Who Must Be Obeyed.
What a beautiful bride and a handsome groom. I'm very happy for you two, and I send my very best wishes. Perhaps the next Baristanet wedding could actually be performed online?
He looks like her father! Is this how they breed over here in the Garden State! I see a child with eight limbs...if he can keep it up long enough! Hahahahahahaha
LL: You should be so lucky. And you should have the good fortune to be as able-bodied as he is when you're his age--or any age for that matter. I challenge you to race him in a 5K any day!
I bet I could out drink that Great White!!! Then I will race him down the street with his wife raised above my head!
"I bet I could out drink that Great White!!!"
Based on your posts, I won't argue with you there!
It was a beautiful wedding AND I caught Mrs. Martta's lovely sunflower bouquet! I'm an avid reader of Baristanet, but not much of a poster kinda gal, but couldn't resist in the celebration!
I enjoy reading Baristnet on a daily basis, but haven't been much at posting my comments, perspectives, etc., but Martta's wedding is definitely an exception! It was a wonderful day! Congratulations to Martta & Tom!
Thanks, Joy.
Interesting thing about the weather. As I mentioned earlier, I checked weather.com and other sources all week long and they all pretty much said the same thing for Sunday, June 29: 50-60% chance of T-storms, violent ones in some places. Upsetting to say the least.
The day before, however, I heard a commotion at the house next door. They have two small, yappy dogs but this day, they were yappier than usual. I went outside to investigate and I saw a black Lab that I did not recognize (I pretty much know all the neighborhood dogs) "chatting up" the other dogs. He was unleashed but friendly. He ran through my yard, investigating things, scratched around a bit in my garden a bit, took a pee on my forsynthia bush, and then came over to me for a pat on the head. I went inside to get him a biscuit but by the time I came back out, he was gone, sadly.
Then it hit me. Have you heard of "familiars?" Familiars, in folklore, are spirits that take on the shapes of animals (they can be good or bad spirits). I am 100% convinced that this Lab was a "familiar" since he brought me good luck on my wedding day.
The night of my wedding, we turned on the news and it was reported that areas a stone's throw away from us (Belleville, Newark) DID get violent weather. But we were spared.
What a great surprise to read this at an unseemly hour! Mrs. Martta, I have enjoyed your many posts.
Best wishes for a long and happy marriage! Great photo.
Mrs. Martta,
That dog was sent there to tell you that you need to adopt your new lab from a rescue group or shelter.

All happiness is of course wished to the lady and the lucky guy. Long may they share joy together. Makes me want to whip them up an epithalamion.
But is that in fact Miss Martta in the photo?
