==Coincidence==
Lew and Tafka got married on the 10th Anniversary of Daria. They didn’t actually plan it that way. They’d originally planned to get married on the 6th Anniversary of OzDariaCon – the 20th of January, but decided it was way too hot to do it then, and so picked a date they though would be cooler. They found out that the date we’d picked was the big day for Daria fans just as we were finishing up the last of the invites.
