But the notion of mundane, everyday existence as a married man is at least as exciting as the event for which we'd waited and worked and worried for so long.
Everything really is different now. The light falls differently on the earth; the tone and texture of life is radically altered.

I was thinking of it as a stage production: the collaboration of so many talented people toward a single goal. A show usually happened two or four or even ten times, but this is a single event on a single day, and as someone pointed out, "fifteen minutes, really, and it's over."

I say, that many), we spent the weekend in Seattle. This was due entirely to the enthusiasm and the funding of Kyrie's parents, and I am eternally grateful. Having never been anywhere ever, particularly not Seattle, I was mightily impressed by the city's sleek and funky beauty. Sure would be cool to live there.

CORVALLIS, Ore., March 26 — Here in the rain-soaked Willamette Valley, wedding season doesn't arrive in earnest until July. But that didn't stop Benton County from jilting everyone at the altar this week.

I found a shirt, a jacket and pants whose combined elegance, sharpness and effortless hip causes fiancees and retail employees to spontaneously exclaim and bounce up and down upon the balls of their feet. I've never been so well appointed. Perhaps there will be pictures soon.

As can be ascertained from the proliferation of photos of Kyrie and I in various locales, leaning against one another and grinning profusely, we've been busy. The engagement party was wonderful, and the food nearly boundless in kind and quantity.

For those of you wondering about my "pants" comment: it has been suggested that, in spite of our initial plans for a "casual" wedding (which originally meant "simple" or "uncomplicated" but which really means, I guess, "fun"), I'm going to look pretty starkly "casual" in relation to, say, robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09374060433802353461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363346.post-1075226100148544962004-01-27T09:55:00.000-08:002004-01-27T09:57:09.030-08:00i'd just like to remind everyone that i am the luckiest girl in the world!!! of course, for those of you who know and love rob already, you already know this. for those of you who don't, i just have to say, for the record, that i wake up every morning grateful that he is a part of my life. how beautiful my life has become.Kyrienoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363346.post-1075189637978652922004-01-26T23:47:00.000-08:002004-01-26T23:49:26.420-08:00So we have been working on our registry, to which there are some links in the sidebar. it tends to make us feel a bit greedy- after all, what we really want is you, our friends. not some spiral-mounted towel warmer. we've picked some things. so. there you are. we love you.Kyrienoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363346.post-1075054815725575392004-01-25T10:15:00.000-08:002004-01-25T10:22:22.390-08:00Hello, dear ones.
