Still basking (wedding rambling)

I can see myself reflected in my ring. That's so cool!

I can't tell you how wonderful it was to be surrounded by so many awesome people last Friday (two Fridays ago, I suppose). I wanted to hug everyone. I wish I could have spent hours talking to each of you, but that's what we have the many years ahead for, right? I loved seeing the different groups mix and mingle. My London paradigm swirled with Cleveland Street on the dance floor and seeing Father Donahue talk to some of you guys blew my mind. What could you possibly be talking about?

People say that the next time that I'll be surrounded by so many people I know and love will be at my funeral, which isn't exactly true. I mean, Cyndi could die before me. :) Whatever truth may be in that statement, such a negative thought isn't worth dwelling on. Instead, what I'll take away is the great times I had with all of you guys, and how I need to see every single one of you more. Take it as my married life resolution.

I've collected a few links from various posts that mention the wedding (this is more for me than anyone else).

Quick Update

We're back and we're pretty beat. I promise there will be more updates to follow (with pictures included), but here's a quick snippet I'm lifting from an e-mail to Novak:

As for Buenos Aires, it was a very cool city. In many ways, it was like Paris (like people say), although only in parts of the city. Other parts had an entirely different--yet still very foreign--feel. I'm still digesting it all. We went to the ballet at one of the most renowned opera houses in the world (Teatra Colon), we saw a tango show in a small cafe (Tortoni), which was certainly not touristy, like so many of the shows, we shopped in these huge outdoor markets, saw Evita's tomb in one of the coolest necropolises I've ever seen (okay, I'm going to admit here that it's also the only one I've ever seen), discovered a park filled with literally hundreds of feral (but very cute) cats, and did a wealth of other things that are all blending together now.

Oh, a few other things: those people LOVE steak and beef--not a single day went by that I didn't have something that involved red meat; I witnessed some of the worst driving I have ever seen (and this includes Rome); and a bottle of wine a day is healthy, right?
