Wedding Photos

Let’s see, it’s been more than a week since I’ve been married. A better blogger would have had some photos up by now. What can I say? The wife has been keeping me busy since the wedding… if you know what I mean.

And if by “if you know what I mean” you think I mean “the two of you have been doing a lot of web chatting,” then you and I are on the same page. She and I, after all, live 2,500 miles apart for the time being. In two different countries (sort of, they’re very similar… Canada and my part of the US).

Anyway, how about some wedding photos.

In this one I look like a spy (if you were thinking “this is a ‘nerd’ one,” hang on… it gets worse). In this photo, our Wedding Commissioner, The Canadian Gal, and Bond… James Bond (don’t laugh… I could kill you with that recipe card I’m holding in my hands).

You may be wondering, “where did all the kids come from in these last two photos?” The bride is providing a clue with her left hand.

The Canadian Gal, unsure of whether I’d look like a nerd or a spy later, thought she’d start drinking so it wouldn’t matter so much to her. (You nerds know what I’m talking about here.)

  2. Wow! Did you ever get a great deal with that Canadian Gal! A new improved version of the family mini-van, budgies, 5 new kids and the coolest looking dust mop I've ever seen! Pretty good for a nerd/spy! Looks like you're in for a good time!

  3. Eve: I certainly married up. I know because my buddies keep telling me so. :)

    CatLadyLarew: Eeek! I forgot to mention she's a good cook too. All she's getting out of the marriage is a guy who can get things down off the high shelves without a ladder... I certainly got the better deal.

  4. Your new wife's gorgeous, you lucky guy you. And you turned around and beat it back across the border? What's up with that?
