Hitched

I'm not going to post a lot of wedding pictures here. There are already plenty on Facebook and also on Google+ for FB refuseniks. So this is just for decoration:

A very lovely day was had -- by me and Ian, certainly, and by all accounts everyone else had a good time too. I was sort-of surprised by how nice it was and how well it went, since in the final couple of weeks I had gotten totally over the whole thing; but of course not that surprised, because, well, duh!

Speeches went by the wayside, which is probably just as well -- I had already boiled down the posted text to something marginally less pompous and wanky, but was probably a bit too tipsy to do it justice and not at all sorry to avoid trying. Neither of the other intended speakers seemed exactly disappointed, although apparently a very small number of would-be listeners grumbled. Too bad.

And now it's all over, visitors departed and wedding cake leftovers distributed. On with life.

Sights currently set on this job at Imperial (I assume that link will die in a couple of weeks). No idea what my chances are, but I'll keep you posted...
