metawidgetOn Saturday, Elizabeth and I got married out in Ormstown, and celebrated with a bunch of family and friends.
Elizabeth has already posted some of her thoughts here, I'll add a few things for now, starting with pictures.
The ceremony was intimate and intense: Elizabeth and I both were on the verge of tears while we made our vows. We'd both known Ellie Hummel before we asked her to officiate, and it showed in how she did things. We'd planned on getting married outside under the apple tree, but it was threatening to rain, so we packed everyone into the basement of André's farmhouse, which felt like a tiny church, crypt or castle, with stone walls and metal and painted decorations. It was pretty hot, and very crowded, but it felt right. We did burst out to the yard with the tree for a toast and pictures afterward.
Later on, Owen had picked out a poem involving love and Scrabble for us at the cake-cutting, which was quite appropriate. I'll try and get the author and title. The folks at StatCan Scrabble Club will be impressed.
The day as a whole went really, really fast, and sort of unfolded before us due to all the help and merriness from everyone.
