All the News That's Fit to Print
First off, I realize that this is April 1st. But I assure you, the following is not a joke...just very coincidental timing.
I'm delighted to fill you all in on some extremely exciting news. I'm getting married! Those of you who follow AOTS, my moblog and the SarahCam may have already figured out that his name is Brendan Moran. Yes, that Brendan Moran. We've known each other for many years through TechTV and then G4, and our timing has finally worked out. Without getting too sappy on y'all, I'll just say that when you know, you know.
Brendan and I will be tying the knot in mid-May, in a beautiful spot not too far away from where I grew up. About ten days later, the two of us will be en route over the Atlantic Ocean, embarking on what could be considered a super-extended honeymoon that will span several continents and last about 13 months. I've always, always wanted to travel the world, and now I'm lucky enough to do it with him by my side.
So... it's with mixed feelings that I announce both Brendan's and my departure from Attack of the Show. We're starting a brand-new chapter of our lives and have both agreed that there's no better time to satisfy our wanderlust than as newlyweds! It's pretty much the coolest first year of marriage I could imagine. Somebody pinch me! Actually, don't.
G4 has known about our plans for some time now, and the company has been truly supportive toward our future endeavors while they've auditioned for our replacements. Though I haven't personally met the folks they've chosen, I've heard really good things. You'll get to know them soon.
I hope you all continue to support the show, the awesome production team behind the show, and the new additions to the show. A fabulous group of talented people work on both sides of the AOTS camera. Even though I've decided to move on, I believe in them all and I'll be rooting for their continued success. I've been extremely lucky, have had unbelievable opportunities, and I'm sorry to say goodbye to a lot of true friends. But they're always welcome to come visit Brendan and me out in Siberia for New Year's Eve! Wooooooo!!
Yes, I'm kidding. I believe we'll be in southern India.
Anyway, that's the scoop. Never one to be away from a computer for long, I'll be blogging regularly throughout our adventure with the Macbook Pro, and Brendan and I will both be shooting as much video as we can from some pretty amazing locales. So this really isn't much of a sayonara after all, my friends, just some good news in the continuing Sarah Lane saga. Or should I say the Sarah Moran saga? Many more details to come...
really?

First of all, congrats on the marriage, but please, for the love of god, say this is a joke! You're irreplacable.
I won't beleve it until I check your blog Sunday afternoon and see if you've made a retraction, or maybe till the show Monday.

Dang, as soon as I saw a street sign for a Sarah lane I was gonna steal it and try to send it to you. Closest I found was Sarah circle. Oh well, congrats and have an awesome time wherever you'll be.

Congrats and good luck with all your future endeavurs..just know that you will be missed and that you made atleast somebodys day a bit more enjoyable every week and I hope Kevin continues to do the same.
Posted by: Matthew | Saturday, April 01, 2006 at 10:44 PM

Cute April Fools joke!
Posted by: Steve | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 03:26 AM
Congratulations on the wedding!
I'm a TechTV fan who's stationed abroad (I moved right around the time of the "merger") and I hope I meet you during your travels.
I am actually part Indian (my grandma's from Hydrebad, in Southern India) and the Indian eighth of me says enjoy the trip!
Keep us informed of your adventures as newlyweds.
Holla back,
The Deen

Take heed with the video. Be sure to keep any special video out of your parents VCR. Trust me. First hand experience is often a bad way to find something like that out.
Posted by: Charles | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 08:12 AM
Well if this is a joke, good one. But if it's not, congrats to the both of you. Marriage is awesome. I can't wait to see all the photos from your trip; I know you'll be mobloggin it :)
Posted by: Clintus | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 09:17 AM
Grats to yall. I think i speak for all the AOTS and Screen Savers fans when I say I'm gonna miss you. You were the last true Screen Saver and one of few TechTV people left on G4.
Have a Great Time

Congrats Sarah, this is happy and sad at the same time. I won't allude to watch AOTS much anymore, but when I did seeing your face made it all worth while. R.I.P. G4, the last of the O.T. (original techs) is leaving the building.
Wow, 13 months too, that's a heck of a honeymoon. I'm jealous. Guess the best part is, you should know if its gonna keep working out before the honeymoon even ends! I feel good about it. Good luck Sarah future Moran.
Posted by: John-Paul | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 09:47 AM
Wait, I just realized Adam and Morgan are still probably there, but I'm not sure if they were techs to begin with, anyway, you know what I mean.
I just hope Brendon only acts like an ass sometimes on t.v. as an act. Cause I saw one segment where he was just walking around calling girls whores and propositioning them for sex, all in general degrading every girl he talked to. That kinda made me sick but it must be act or Sarah wouldn't have gone this far with him.
Posted by: John-Paul | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 09:52 AM
Sarah! First of all congrats!! Second of all, I think everyone is really going to miss you on AOTS. I've been a fan since TSS and I for one am kinda crushed that you're not going to be there anymore. Well, your honeymoon sounds FANTASTIC, I hope you enjoy it. Congrats again!
Posted by: Sean | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 09:52 AM
Hell yeah! She chose a decent guy! I want to get her a Wedding Gift! (0:

Congratulations Sarah and Brendan. I will really miss you as I have been a dedicated fan of yours from the very beginning on TechTV. Best wishes for your marriage and super long honeymoon and hopefully you and Brendan could come back to visit AOTS!!

Hey Sarah, Good for you on your plans.
I doubt that you read your comments but you should turn off your comments on your other site WSW. You dont deserve such AWFUL treatment from that bastard Kevn Rose.
Posted by: Ni | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 01:24 PM
Congratulations to you both. It was fun talking to you on the phone a few times on the air. The best of luck to you, when's your last day?
Posted by: Dengin | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 02:37 PM
Well there goes Techtv or i guess its G4 lol
haven't really watched the network since they took of the screensavers with Leo and Patrick, only watched here and there to see what Sarah was up to, no point in watchung the network any more unless they bring back a real tech show.
Good Luck Sarag
Posted by: Dennis | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 02:58 PM

Atleast we wont have to worry about G4 tracking folks on here. Looks like everyone is getting married. I have a wedding to go to in Washington D.C. this summer and another in Texas. Looks like your going to be a backpacker world traveler. Congrats! Sarah
Posted by: Don | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 04:26 PM
I recently saw Kevin & Alex in Reno for a DiggNation taping. I asked Kevin about you and he seemed sad. Now I know why. I've never seen two people more in love.
Posted by: FanMan | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 04:48 PM
Great news! Congratulations!!!
Posted by: SueN. | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 05:05 PM
I believe you Sarah
Posted by: Jason | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 05:32 PM
O Sarah just to let you know how much you and the show mean to me I just want to say that you and the show will be something I will never forget.You helped me threw a hard time in my life my grandma died in August and your show really helped me, it was pretty much the only thing at that time that I could depend on to be there everyday.I'm now crying *I'm not joking I am crying*you may think this is strange that someone you have never met is crying because your quiting your job but you mean alot to me Sarah and my life is not going to be the same without seeing you on the tv every weekday.My name is Darla I'm 15 and I'm going to miss you very much.I'll probably post something else in a min. because I keep thinking of things to say but I don't know if there are any words that could describe how I fill about this.This may seem strange but this has really upset me its like I have just found out that you have cancer its like your dieing because I'll probably never see you again except for pics on you blog.Please tell me this isn't true I'm setting in my room about to cry again because this is a part of my life coming to a end with you leaving the show.Please don't think I'm strange for being like this but I've often thought of trying to email you to let you know how you helped me through a hard time so thank you for that.
p.s good luck to you and Brendan.G4 should televise your wedding and then do a show about your honeymoon across the world just a thought.

Posted by: Nintendo_DS | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 06:20 PM
fanman you're a liar
naw i don't know, but it sounds like something someone was dying to post here and see what others would say about that
i really cant believe it, i watched sarah on the show for so long, it almost feels like you're losing a friend in life damn i hope sarah ends up on tv again and not just behind the camera in the future
the world needs more sarah lane! no, not sarah moran, sarah lane. :P
Oh i hope brendan doesn't get offended but keep your site as sarahlane.com not sarahmoran.com....

Sarah
Its been said enough already but one more time cant hurt. Congratulations to you both, its been a long time coming. It has been a great ride to watch you from your beggings on TSS and his on Fresh Gear/Tech Live. You are both good people worthy of nothing less than people you make you feel the best you can be.
Also big congrats on finally finding someone to finance your world tour even if in part you have to do it yourself. If i remember that is what you had on your myspace page for the little while you had it. It will be quite a trip for 13 months which will lead to what i hope are alot of blogging/video experiences.
Though we will miss you on AOTS we all realize that your honeymoon will make you happy and for all those of us who care about our TV personalities we want you to be happy. I'll wrap this up before i say something that crosses an unknown line that im to stupid to look out for. Enjoy your marriage, your honeymoon, and in case you just forget to post the rest of your life. You've earned it Ms Moran.
Posted by: Jason B | Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 07:53 PM
Congrats Sarah & Brendan!

And then what,buy a Hybrid, move to SF and smell your own farts. I understand it's Smug there.
Brendan is a very lucky guy.
Enjoy the world Morans!
For the record I like the smell of my own farts too.
