Two-phase commit and the real world

Picture this ...

Priest: Do you David, take this woman Helen to be your lawful wedded wife?

Dave: I do (log write).

Priest: Do you Helen, take this man David to be your lawful wedded husband?

Helen: I do (log write).

Priest: I now pronounce you man and wife.

Dave: [smiles] (delete log).

Helen: [smiles] (delete log).

Priest: (delete log) You may kiss the bride.

This is my roundabout way of saying congratulations to Dave and Helen. About time too! ;-)
