First - my apologies for the adulteration of Morgan's engagement story.

Ahem:

Mike, Morgan and Nibblet moved to North Carolina 3 years ago so Morgan could go to grad school at Duke. Mike and Morgan drove from Texax, but Nibblet took a less conventional means of transport:

Once in North Carolina, Morgan began her studies and Nibblet enrolled as a part time student. While Morgan was a very dilligent student, Nibblet was less devoted:

Nibblet was, however, very involved in th e community at Duke. He dated the head cheerleader:

Mike and Morgan's favorite thing to do in North Carolina is hiking. Nibblet often rides along in Morgan's pack:

Morgan is always careful to make sure Nibblet stays warm by putting him in one of his two favorite hats:

So, tomorrow, Morgan and Mike will have their legal ceremony. Nibblet is beside himself with joy and excitement. He even has his outfit picked out:

And then later this month, they will all be traveling to Mexico to have their destination wedding. Nibblet has been instrumental in the planning. He helped pick out the flowers:
