Woo-hoo! A shout-out to our dear friend Yong in Austin who's getting hitched in July!! Congrats, congrats, congrats!! Even though it's going to be in Korea and none of the SI folks are going to be there, I'm sure he knows out warmest wishes are with him & Dasan (even if Stan is probably shaking his head, sighing, "Another one bites the dust...")
And Yong, here's a little something to help you on your way towards internalizing the plural pronoun:
Maybe nothingness is to be without your presence,
without you moving, slicing the noon
like a blue flower, without you walking
later through the fog and the cobbles,
without the light you carry in your hand,
golden, which maybe others will not see,
which maybe no one knew was growing
like the red beginnings of a rose.
In short, without your presence: without your coming
suddenly, incitingly, to know my life,
gust of a rosebush, wheat of wind:
since then I am because you are,
since then you are, I am, we are,
and through love I will be, you will be, we'll be
-SONNET LXIX (Pablo Neruda)
Congratulations again Yong!

A wedding in Korea? That sounds like a challenge to me! Anyway, I'll use this as an opportunity to congratulate Yong on his engagement, in addition to an e-card that I am now obligated to send!
