Tang and DeadBob met online before Internet games, playing Sierra's INN over long distant telephone lines together until the $500 per month long distance charges forced DeadBob's hand and he proposed.

The online wedding took place October 1st, 1995.

A hundred players crowded onto a server about as stable as a pine tree rooted in lava flows. Guests crashed constantly and had to wait in a queue for someone else to crash before they could log back in.

It was one of the first online weddings and it was exciting. Given the graphics of the day, the chapel where the wedding took place, the music, the lighting and the ceremony were all created by the players imagination. In a magnificent chapel surrounded by cheering friends, Tang and DeadBob pledged to love and to honor one another for the rest of their lives.

DeadBob's comment:

Before Tang agreed to meet me in real life, she had me go to lunch with 3 other players so she could pump them for information. And when I requested a photo before we met, she refused, replying instead, "You won't be disappointed." WoW was she ever right!

Tang often comments:

"Our love proves that the Gods have a sense of humor."

You are cordially invited to join us as we celebrate our union.

I look forward to seeing you there and I know Tang will be delighted you came. Thank you! - db
