Well...

We got married today...

Here we are looking very serious/very European in the "marriage room" at the Magistare's office. That guy lurking in the background was one of our witnesses who works in the office, Caj. He was pretty nice.


Kristina's ring...


My ring....

SMOOCHES!!! This was a requirement to validate the relationship. As you can tell by my awkward stance, I've only done this one other time.

The little ceremony was quick, but quite nice. All of the people in the office were very friendly and happy to be there. That magistrate made several comments about marriage that were very impressive coming from a government agency: Marriage is permanent, marriages should ordinarily produce children, marriage is good for the stability of the state, etc. We are excited!

Wes-
This is awesome news. We're all very excited for you!
Also I think I recognize the tie you're wearing, and it's pretty slick if I say so myself.
