“Blue Plate Married Guy” doesn’t have the same ring to it.
If you payed close attention to snarky comments and references to the “Blue Plate Betrothed” then you would have ascertained that I was getting hitched.
More than one person has remarked to me “so now your going to have to change the name of your website”.
No I don’t.
If Fake Steve Jobs can continue to be both fake and Steve Jobs, I can continue to write the “Blue Plate Bachelor”.
Here’s my reasoning:
- It’s a cool URL. I thought of it all by myself. I’m not changing it.
- I began this web site when I was a bachelor, using my culinary prowess to woo women. Guess what? It worked.
- I have wisdom to share with other wastrel bachelors lost in the woods
- It’s just a blog for cryin’ out loud.
However, I do think I may change the tone of my writing a bit. I’ve written this site in a pseudo-anonymous tongue-in-cheek fashion. I expect I will remove 15% of my tongue from my cheek and be less pseudo-anonymous.
Also, I think we did a darn fine job with our wedding. We had a lovely ceremony, and the reception was a hoot. Also, the after-party was pretty good too.
So following this little announcement I’ll be writing up my experiences with our photographer (awesome), our reception (very, very good), our florist (exceptional for a straight man. I’m kidding. Really. I’m not a jerk.), our wedding registry experience, and whatever details crop up.

Congratulations. I will also be making that long walk in a month. It has to be nice to be able to enjoy each other again, huh? Not have to worry about making sure everything is perfect for the wedding. Lucky bastard. Congrats again, the best to the both of you.
I agree with you on not changing your website name. I will be using similar reasoning to convince my fiance that once we get married I won’t be wearing my wedding ring. I mean, I was a bachelor when I started life.

One of the most surprising side-effects of being newly married is how relaxing it is. There is so much pressure removed. Yeah, we’re not worried about the wedding anymore…but we’re also not worried about a lot of other crap too. It’s nice.
One interesting thing about wearing a wedding ring is the amount of new attention it brings from women. I suppose seeing a ring implies “this man is high-quality-husband material-yet-safe-for-me-to-socialize-with”
The fools! Mwa ha ha ha!
Oh. Hi. Uh. Honey. Sweetie. Baby.
