I would have it no other way.
'Cut me and I bleed Black and Gold
my heart is shaped like a Fleur-de-Lys
those memories fo Superbowl 44
Will always be with me'

That got a little Ray Bradburyish there. Had to read it a couple of times to make sure you weren't saying you were watching the game when you got married.

But all kidding aside, thank you for choosing Black and Gold for all your (American

) football needs. Fans like you make me feel good. Anyone can obtain fanaticism through immersion like I did, but it takes a true fan to reach it the way you did.

WHO DAT!
