We became a family. It was a day much like today, warm and sunny. It got cloudier as the day went on, and by the time we drove to the hotel it was raining. They say rain on your wedding day is good luck, so we had the benefit of good weather for an outdoor wedding and the luck. It seems to be working.
Being married doesn't seem like it should "mean" anything, but somehow it's one of the most amazing things that's happened to me. It's tied with Nino's birthday as the single greatest day ever. An entire day dedicated to committing ourselves to one another. Great friends, great food, great fun. It was so wonderful to have a big outdoor party, with children everywhere, family travelling to see us. Our top priorities were spending time together, and sitting down for dinner as a married couple at our own table was wonderful. I loved that it continued on for hours, and friends all came to our house afterward. Somehow it was the perfect balance of really bonding with each other, while enjoying the company of those who celebrated with us.
The next day, after a frenzy of opening gifts and cards, we left for Iceland. Simply amazing. Go if you get the chance. Bring sweaters and bathing suits and be prepared to use them both, outdoors, on the same day trip.
