So...I'm married now! Yippy! For something so low key, there was actually a bit of stress and busy times for a while there. But it was still really fun. I actually had fun DURING the ceremony, which I did not foresee. Anyway, here are the pictures: ( Read more... )

Gregory proposed! We're engaged!
