Nuptials

Long time readers may remember that me and Dori had some marital issues back in 2007; we wound up getting divorced that summer. Those issues have long since been worked out, but there was one thing missing: getting married again. A week ago today, it finally happened.

Since this was Take 2, we didn't feel that a big deal needed to be made of it. We hired a justice of the peace to perform the ceremony and rather than it taking place in a courthouse, as I initially envisioned, it was done just adjacent to our neighbors' rose garden.

Being a pop-culture connoisseur, it should be no surprise that the 70's classic "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" played in my mind from time to time during the ceremony. Here is a picture from it:



Next are the words that the justice of the peace spoke (click on the pic to see it full-size):



We used two songs during the ceremony: our original wedding one (Martina McBride and Jim Brickman's "Valentine") and a song that was a big hit the year we met (Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me").

Here are a few more pics from said event (our house is in the background in the shot directly below):

I'm glad you guys were able to work out your differences and rekindle you're marriage. Well done!

Congratulations on your nuptials.

I love the way in America, you can just hold a wedding ceremony more or less anywhere you feel like. So friendly, informal and romantic! Over here you are limited to a church, registry office or, in later years, a special place that has been licenced to hold weddings. So formal and stuffy!

Even Zoe looks pleased!
