I’m here, I’m here! :eek: I’ve just been too emotionally fried since Saturday to post much of anything. I haven’t even done any reflection on it yet in my LJ.

From both of us, thanks so much for your kind and thoughtful messages. Our wedding turned out to be even more moving than I could have possibly imagined. I’m glad we kept it small, which was not for financial reasons, but rather because we wanted something more intimate.

Thanks to **matt\_mcl** and **Hamish** for ushing, and to **matt** for the great pictures. And to **Eonwe** for not being late. (In fact, he was _early!_) 😉

And of course, our deepest gratitude to **CuriousCanuck** and **clayton\_e** not only for standing for and with us as groomsmen, but also for keeping us sane all weekend. _Relatively_ sane.

Dude, that’s hilarious. 😃

Congrats Evil and Evil!

Translation for **Eats\_Crayons** : Congratulations Elvis and Elvis! 😛

Here’s wishing the two of you many, many, many happy years together!

Have fun on the cruise! If y’all haven’t been on one before, here’s a bit of advice:

Eat early and eat often.

Oh, my Gods!? _ **WHERE** _??

My partner and I are going on a cruise, too, along the Mexican reviera, along the west coast of the country, between Dec. 19th to the 26th. If you’re in the same area, we need to get intouch! 😃

If you all do decide to hook up, be careful how you tell people about it …

Officemate: So, what are you doing in Mexico?

Freyr: Oh, I’m meeting up with some 'Dopers …

From the 13th to the 18th. We leave from New Orleans, and our two ports of call in Mexico are along the Yucatan Peninsula. Mayan ruins and all that.

[whine]Take me with you!!![/whine]

I know the Spanish word for bathroom.  
I can also say ¿Dónde está la maleta? which will locate either a bank, keys, or luggage…I forget which but they are all very useful items.

Please?

So much for that. Just as you two are getting back, we’ll be heading out. We’ll also be on the ocean side of Mexico whilst you’re on the Gulf side. _shrug__oh well_

Enjoy yourself, tho! I understand it’s lovely there!

Again, congrats on the honeymoon!

Well, keys are los laves (phonetically), and I’ll bet “bank” is “el bank” because that would be funny. But never having had a spanish class, I’ll leave it there.

Please?

OK. Why can I see the thumbnails and when I click, all I get is that damned little red “x”?

Congratulations, you two! May your years be filled with happiness. ;j

And thanks to matt and clayton for sharing pictures of the day. I love seeing people’s weddings.

Just couldn’t let myself get to 1000 posts without using that little Jewish smilie…
