Yesterday's Times weddings pages announced the nuptials of Clara Lora-Ospina, a clinical psychologist, and Kevin McCrea, a Boston city-council candidate. And how did the loving couple first meet?

Dr. Lora-Ospina and Mr. McCrea became acquainted in the spring of last year through an exchange of e-mail messages on a craigslist.com discussion group.

"I had posted on the Rants and Raves section looking for moral and emotional support to help me deal with the recent death of my best friend from cancer," she said.

Mr. McCrea says it was late one night, and he was "just puttering around" online when he came across Dr. Lora-Ospina's post.

To recap: A psychologist is reduced to seeking emotional support on Craigslist, and a city-council candidate openly admits to late-night Craigslist trolling. This is, we're sure, a happy milestone in the online listings-and-hookups service's history.

It's also a milestone in the history of the wedding pages. A very sad one.
