Well, we made it....

On Saturday, me and Jane got married (I'm typing this from the hotel room in New York), it was an absolutely WONDERFUL day for both of us... everybody had a great time, and it was really nice everybody coming up to us saying our written vows were absolutely lovely. (nice to know we got them good enough!)

After 2 years of selling things, Jane doing overtime (lots of!), and general penny pinching we *almost* had enough money to make the honeymoon we'd dreamed of. Thankfully people who were coming to the wedding knew what we were doing, and apart from a couple of exceptions (and they were very nice exceptions.), all gave us help with the trip instead. A couple of close family members made up the shortfall that was left after that.... (it's actually really nice knowing that although we paid for most of it ourselves, that people we LOVE also helped to make the trip possible. It makes it more special somehow that they were a part of it)

So we're here in New York for a few days, then we pick up the RV and.... off we go! There'll be lots of photos from the wedding and the honeymoon road trip, and there'll be lots of video too when we get back. (the full wedding day was filmed too... so you'll all be able to see it)

and don't worry.... it'll be edited down to about 5 minutes or something.... lol, it won't be like 7 hours long or something

anyway... I just wanted to let you all know that we did it... we really did it... and we made it here. (we keep looking at each other and asking "are we actually here?")

A huge thanks to everyone who came to the wedding, it was wonderful getting married surrounded by everybody we love!
