Slinger/Hayley update
August 7th is the date! Yes Hayley and Slinger have announced they plan to tie the knot in Tornoto with a traditional church wedding. Hayley says "a reception will be at a local Inn...which will hopefully tempt some out of towners to join in the festivities ;)" A honeymoon will follow, but destination is unknown at this time. Then sometime in the future they hope to have a ceremony in Ireland for friends and family there.

Haha! Some things never change, but there must be something in
the #pub air. Old time pubber Pianoman returned with his own
news...he's getting "hitched to his sweetheart."
Pianoman said he's been engaged for about two weeks and they'll
get married when he's out of school in a year and a half. As he
put it...
<PianoMan> Its someone I met a year and half ago, we met through work. Her name is Peggy, she's wonderful. :)
