Wedding reflections

First off, we had the best wedding ever. No, seriously. No slight intended to the many wonderful, touching, personal, genuine, heart-felt, loving weddings we’ve been to, but our wedding was the best one I’ve been to. 😀 And I think every single person who ever gets married should feel that way, so I feel lucky that I do.

So many components made it wonderful, but basically, it boiled down to this: Seppo and I love each other madly, seriously, ridiculously, committedly and our family & friends — basically all the people we love in the world — made it so clear to us in so many countless ways that they support us and our relationship. So many people did so much to help us, and so many people came so far to see us get married. We were surrounded by people who mean everything to us, and we were able to have the words we really meant said at our ceremony on our behalf. We only had eyes for each other, too far in the moment of getting married before man and God to notice anything that might have gone awry.

It had been raining buckets for weeks, but that morning, the sun broke out and we were able to celebrate our day in the glory of the sun and take some photos to commemorate the day. We had a great time. We laughed, we hugged, we cried, we kissed, and at the end of the day, we were left with great memories and horribly aching feet. Luckily, I was able to retrieve some pain killers in some deft covert action at the hotel, so we didn’t actually die from the pain.

Our lives, other than being on vacation, are the same as before. The wedding day was our day to dedicate ourselves formally to each other, but we don’t expect that that will be the best day of our lives by any stretch of the imagination. To the contrary, I hope it’s the worst day of our marriage. 😀 Because it kicked some major boot-ay.

For those of you who missed the wedding, we may post our ceremony and game card online at some point. 😀
