In the midst of the remnants of breifly-hurricaned Ernesto. Miss Christie Burns and I officially became man and wife (or woman and husband...whatever). It was a beautiful ceremony surrounded by tons of friends and lots of music: we were led in by Nykleharpa Players and there were THREE different kinds of bagpipers there. The event was (even more-so than most weddings) unforgettable. There were 217 there to brave the elements, a tree fell during the ceremony, and the father of the bride came dressed as Boss Hogg.
The rain only served to underscore the outpouring of love from both our closest friends throughout every stage of our lives and around the world, as well as strangers who became friends that weekend. If you feel like you should have been invited but were not, you are probably correct. We had a bear of a time with both paper and e-mail invites and our online registry things we so scattered and hectic that I know a good many people we would have liked to have there fell through the cracks. If you think that's you, you're probably right and I'm sorry.
I still have to write this thesis so we're playing just a few shows before the end of the year. Then you can look for me to be on the road a bit more in 2007. Including a much neglected tour of the Northeast again.
We'll get more pictures up again soon. And I'll be setting up a chat board for folks to share their wedding stories soon. stay tuned.
