Hello!
This is a blog designed for quantum pontificating. All of the posts on this blog are true and by true, I mean false. It's all lies. But they're entertaining lies, and in the end isn't that the real truth? The answer is no. More information here.

Congratulations! The wedding photo looks great. I’ve managed to gain weight while you’ve lost it. Ashland is a great place to visit as well as, I’m sure, a great place to get married. Make sure to see a play or two while you are there; and check out Morning Glory, one of the best breakfast restaurants in America.
Okay, this is dated advice now, but still, you can always come back.

No, the Pope can get married (a Quantum Pontiff only once, because of quantum monogamy). Pope Hormisdas (514-523) was married. His son has been Pope, under the name of Silverius (536-538).

Wow, my congratulations to both. Looks like you are meant to be together, and she is indeed a jewel.
Married life is wonderful, if you can take a bit of suffering and sacrifice for the common good. The reward is big. Only… After 10 years I forgot what it is. But I know it’s there, that’s the main thing.
Cheers,
T.

Congratulations,
Some are apparently taking issue. But of course, the Pontiff of the Quantum world is not obligated to take a vow of celibacy, so there is no problem.
