Well, I didn’t find the guy myself, and I haven’t actually met him, but I did get the wedding invitation so I guess we can mark this one “done”!
Kat, many wishes for much happiness.

How I did it
It made me
proud 
How I did it: In a non-coercive, friendly and non-judgemental way that didn't make anyone do more than they felt like. Hmm, any hints here? Read how I did it…

Tonight I returned to 43Things so I could update the team on the news that ChangeEverything.ca (a site inspired by 43Things) has been nominated for a Webby. (It’s up against Facebook, among others, in the social networking category. Please vote for Change Everything at http://pv.webbyawards.com !)
As I always do when I come back to 43T after a while, I cruised down my list of 43 Things. And here it was: the goal of starting a company that survives longer than 2 years.
Well, we’ve not only done it (we’re now at 29 months, officially) but we’ve even made the short list for a Webby. Not bad for two years in!
Congratulations Ian & Paul

I finally got to go to a gay wedding….and not just any wedding, but the wedding of our dearest friends. It was truly humbling and inspiring to be an event that was so personally happy and meaningful, and to reflect on the fact that this event was something none of us would have imagined possible even a decade ago. So—change IS possible!!!
