Glory be! Today, according to Leah Garchick, Craig Newmark, the man who streamlined the way the world finds employment, sex, and used goods online, wed his partner Eileen Whelpley in New Jersey. The two native East Coaster met one another years ago on Cole Street. See:

In addition to being whipsmart and a San Francisco institution, Newark once posted these signs around San Francisco seeking the return of his future bride's eyeglasses. Cute. Chivalrous. Charming.
Best wishes and congratulations to the happy couple!
