Pictures, the continuing saga

Wow, does anyone still look at this site?

If so, you're probably waiting for a gallery of pictures from the wedding.  We have been quite negligent in getting these pics out there.  The delay stems from our own orientation toward this task, which, unfortunately winds up feeling more like "chore" than like the "fun" it should be.

We've gotten some 800+ pictures from the excellent Scott Berlin, and some 400+ pictures from everyone's favorite strudel, Iris Bitter.  Not to mention a good chunk from Tom Gray, and a handful from many others.  (If you have pics, please send 'em along!)

What we're planning on doing in the coming weeks is sorting through all of these and creating a gallery of the best pics for you.  (We'll probably put them up on picassa, which is what everyone seems to use.  But if you have a good suggestion for the easiest way to share pics, we're all ears.)

Do stay tuned.  In the meantime, if you care to peruse the full set of Scott's unedited pics, you can check them out here.

We feel indicted.

We got pictures!  In the coming days, we'll be going through the pictures & sharing them with you.  In the meantime, enjoy this fun, depressing compilation on the bridal experience from our friends at Everything Is Terrible.

Synergy / Frying Pan

Cross-posting from my blog entry on The Frying Pan, "I'm Creating Jobs- How About You?"  The Frying Pan - a project of LAANE - is a new blog on the economy where I am a regular contributor.

I wrote this well over a month ago, but sometimes things take a while to get through the editing process, I guess.  Take a look, after the jump.

Mailbag

I tend not to be a greeting card kinda guy, but some of the cards that we got were truly excellent and really need to be recognized.  In no particular order, after the jump, are the five cards that made me smile the most.

Wedding Ceremony

After the jump, you can see the entire text of the wedding ceremony.  Again, we want to thank everyone who had a hand in this, especially Solemnizer Todd Polenberg, who helped to edit and shape our ideas into this final product, and who wrote the Charge for the Couple.  Also Sanjukta Paul, for her essay/reading which helped to ground this enterprise of marriage in an Aristotelian worldview.  And of course the rest of our wedding party - Josh, James, Albert, Claire & Julia - for being so game and reading (and, along with Leigh, singing) what we'd written or selected.

I've made a

Not enough postage on the marriage certificate; it was returned in the mail.  Why? What did you think I meant?
