Dilbert's creator gets married

SAN FRANCISCO — Scott Adams called his weekend wedding aboard a yacht in the San Francisco Bay "tremendous", but said he doesn't expect to win a dance competition anytime soon.Adams, 49, creator of the Dilbert comic strip, and Shelly Miles, 37, were married Saturday evening on the Commodore Galaxy yacht by the ship's captain. About 150 guests attended.

It is the first marriage for Adams and the second for Miles. They met at his health club four years ago.

Miles has two children, a six-year-old son and an eight-year-old daughter, and both participated in the ceremony, Adams said.

"We included the kids in the vows because we're making a new family unit," Adams said Tuesday, reached by phone at his home in Dublin, California "The kids had to promise to pretend to enjoy my jokes."

Adams said he and Miles exchanged rings and gave the children family medallions.

Today, the couple, Miles' children and both sets of parents will head to the western Caribbean for a Disney cruise honeymoon, Adams said.

There will be no vacation for Dilbert, though. Adams said he has a week's worth of comic strips ready.
