Starting Out

What a week!

Wedding festivities happened with only a moderate amount of me running around stressed out about logistics. But I didn't get too stressed out, and the logistics were handled.

Our wedding announcement was published in the Times.

All the events were really beautiful, it was great to see all the planning come together, and to share the occasion with so many friends and family. The toasts and well-wishes were amazing. The ceremony was all that I'd hoped. I took far too long on couple's photos afterwards, inadvertently delaying everyone's brunch (feel a bit embarrassed about that), but that still turned out great.

So much thanks to everyone involved, starting with our parents!

It was great to see my niece Emilia in person for the first time, she's adorable, already very strong and outgoing at two months old.

I'm now on a train to NYC with Julie. From there, flying direct to Tokyo this evening. Hopefully we'll have a fascinating and relaxing vacation. I'm sure it will be a great start.

It was a really awesome wedding.

Was super awesome to see you guys get married. I'm really happy for you both.

As well as happy and honored to be a part of the whole thing. :)

Have fun on the honeymoon!

Congratulations, and many years of felicity!... And really, a very adorable announcement! (I forgot that that is the writing style of the Times!)

I'm so far behind on LJ, I just read this entry and the NY Times link. I love her comment about the lab date being more of a test than a date.
