Wedding Album

Pictures behind cut

Well, we're married now.



There were a few minor glitches (the wedding party showed up about 15-20 minutes before the property managers did, and we had to bake in the heat out front; the speakers didn't connect to our laptop, so the wedding & reception music was pretty much inaudible) but people seemed to enjoy it - the readings went over well, our minister, Sheila, was terrific, the best man, in a perfect, unintentional comedy trope, dropped the rings - "he'll never be an international jewel thief," the engineer later quipped.





There was a cocktail buffet. The shrimp disappeared fast.


I didn't force my bridesmaids/matrons of honour to wear anything too cruel.

Afterwards, some of us went out for Chinese food.






As we'd already been living together for five or six years (Himself, contrary to stereotype, is the one who remmebrs anniversaries), it doesn't feel that much different, but at least we got to shout it from the rooftops.

Hey Sarah,

Wedding and pictures

[(Anonymous)]

Great pictures! I'm glad to see that my head was extra-shiny that day: as I had instructed my barbers that it should be. Even so, I must confess that Angus was the most elegant of us by far.

I wasn't clear on whether or not there would be an open mike so I had a speech prepared. Here it is:

Welcome and thank you all so much for coming out to Andrew and Sarah's wedding. When we rule you will all be on the protected lists.

Yes, when *WE* rule! For as many of you may have guessed by the 2, 3 and (well, yes) 4 hour conversations that Sarah and I have been having whenever we get together we are from the same ..how do you people so crudely put it?.. "place", yes - that's it - "place". We scouts must know everything you see and there is such a lot of information to trade and discuss: the bones of the inner ear, comic books, Victorian explorers and so on and so forth.

Now, although we are all but nimble fingers of the same infinite gestalt, some of us are positively outstanding in the diligence and energy of our explorations. I mean, when I heard that Sarah had gotten to *know* Andrew I thought, "Well, talk about above and beyond the call of duty!"

But I have since been given to understand that you people *do* have your advantages. (I may get one myself some day! But I digress....) In Andrew's case this is because he is absolutely *complimentary* as opposed to merely *compatible*. If, for example Sarah and I got together we would simply be a matching pair of fingers {make chopsticks gestures with fingers} and, as you can see, there is a limit to what you can do with that. Andrew however, as anyone who knows him can attest, is all thumbs. Now with a finger and an opposing thumb you have grip! You have grasp! {demonstrate uses of thumb/finger combination}

That being the case I am sure that you will all join me in wishing that this lucky couple may always find happiness within their grasp!

All fingers are equal, but some are more talkative about our secret plans than others!
