Two Texas bloggers have gotten married via their blogs. How can this be done on two blogs? The bride explains:
The state of Texas has a little known law governing "informal marriage". For a marriage to be legal, we must publicly declare that we consider each other as spouses and this fact be known to other residents of the state of Texas. We got our certificate this afternoon and have now fulfilled the requirements as there's bound to be a Texas resident or two amongst our joint readership.
In a nutshell, the blogs' commenters served as witnesses to their marriage.
You know what this means? The first blog-based divorce is a matter of when, not if.

Sorry, one "first" is enough for us, so someone else will have to take the honors to that!
