So, Annette and I got married yesterday. Which was awesome. I shall post pics, as soon as the photographer gets them back to us. It was great fun, we had the exact ceremony we wanted, and everything went off without a hitch. There were a few friends that I wished could have been there, but sadly, life conspired against it. Fitz & Annette, Emma and Karl, I’m lookin’ at you.
My wife is so totally awesome, and I feel very very lucky to have her beside me.
How long does it take to get used to wearing the ring? I keep tinkering with mine.
Tomorrow morning, we’re off to Japan for our honeymoon. We’ll be blogging regularly from there, and posting pictures.
I know exactly zero japanese, I can’t even remember the phrases that Annette tried to teach me, which translate to stuff like “Please Excuse Me!” and “Does anyone here speak english?” and “I am a howling barbarian ghost from beyond the edge of the world, and thus I do not know any better.”
Personally, I have a plan to just wave my arms and make a huge fuss if there are any problems, in an effort to leverage Japanese distaste for making a scene into me getting (a) what I want, and (b) out of trouble. I’ve seen this referred to as “Gaijin Smash!”.
I’ll let you know how it goes.

Have a wonderful time 🙂
When do you guys get back? We’re probably going to spend a few days in Auckland next month (mostly taking Crispin to see the dinosaur at the museum) I’d love to see you guys but I have a nasty feeling you’ll still be off honeymooning.

Congratulations! I still tinker with my ring. In fact, if I’ve taken it off to do house work etc, I go to play with it and it’s weirder cause it’s not there 🙂
Have a great honeymoon!

I think you may have an adequate amount of loom to get away without speaking Japanese!
