NewsBusters and the Media Research Center wanted to take a moment to offer their best wishes to NB editor Matt Sheffield and his beautiful bride Yolanda Hibbler on the occasion of their wedding.
The couple will exchange vows in about an hour in Key West, Florida, and those of us that couldn't be there to celebrate the day wish them a wonderful wedding and a marvelous marriage.
Although it's early in the morning, let's raise our glasses to toast our dear friends.

The tax & spend drug war looks racist in the real world.

May 13, 2008 - 16:05 ET by KC MulvilleMatt apparently didn't invite too many NB staffers to the wedding. Did you guys piss him off or something? But on a serious note, let me pass along the advice my father gave me before I got married ...
Wow, Key West
May 13, 2008 - 09:52 ET by sarcasmoCongrats. You're sure to have fun there. Have a drink at La Te Da, and enjoy the sunset.

May 13, 2008 - 12:41 ET by mattmSomething to look forward to:
Grandpa Jones was celebrating his 100th birthday and everybody complimented him on how athletic and well-preserved he appeared.
"Gentlemen, I will tell you the secret of my success" he cackled. "I have been in the open air day after day for some 75 years now."
The celebrants were impressed and asked how he managed to keep up his rigorous fitness regime.
"Well, you see my wife and I were married 75 years ago. On our wedding night, we made a solemn pledge. Whenever we had a fight, the one who was proved wrong would go outside and take a walk."
Congratulations Matt and

what not to do together
May 13, 2008 - 22:07 ET by mom_roxWhen my husband and I married, we asked our friends for marital advice which we posted at our reception. The most common advice: Never, never, never wallpaper together!
So, hire out - and best wishes to a beautiful couple!

May 13, 2008 - 19:44 ET by Noel SheppardKJZ,
If I can answer in Matt's stead, they wanted a cruise wedding. The cruise started on Monday -- as many of them do -- and disembarks from Key West this evening.
The majority of attendees were joining them on the cruise afterwards. It's actually not that uncommon. I would have been there myself, but have done so much travelling the past couple of months, and likely more this month, that I just couldn't swing it.
But, my heart is with my dear friends, and I hope they enjoy what I asked the porter to leave in their room! :-) ns
