SDC Rewards Sweepstakes Draw #1: July 31st.

Good morning

Good morning, early birds! Here we are again, kicking off a brand-new week together. How are you all this morning? I (Vella) am ready for our little catch-up as we sip our morning cuppas. 😉 Now, who's excited about what we have in store for you today? If you are, let's start with the first riddle of the week:

I married your colleagues; I married your friends. I might have even married you, and I married every single girl that asks me to. Yet, I am still single. Who am I?

Submit your answers in our Riddle Masters thread here. If you get it correct, you’ll get a shout-out tomorrow.
