Thanks to all who have put up with my absense from teaching the past few weeks. The wedding was a wonderful experience, well worth all the hard work. Everything fell into place, and people all round gave excellent advise on how to be present and get married, rather than just have a wedding. I wish I could say that I followed it; actually when I went up there about everything except my vows went right out of my head.

By way of introduction, Franco is Einar's little brother, and the girl to my left holding my flowers is my little sister Katie. Oh, yeah, and the guy next to me is Einar, who I was lucky enough to get to marry. I wish everyone could have attended, unfortunately we reached the capacity of the church and reception hall well before we reached the end of the list of people we wanted to be there.

Huge thanks to Philippe for the moral support and photos. I miss YiY and look forward to seeing you all January 15th when I return.
