HOLY SHIT I’M MARRIED: the long version!
So yeah, that wedding thing. I got married! It’s crazy. I have a ring and a cute wife now. Crazy! First, the executive summary: Everything went wonderfully. It was sunny and bright with a few clouds — a bit warm, but nearly everything was inside, so that was fine. But everything just worked. All of […]
