Married!

It is with great happiness that I make my first post-wedding post! All went well on Friday morning and we were married in the Rathaus in Heidelberg! (The car in the picture belonged to the couple married after us, but I couldn't resist!) It was the most beautiful fall morning and a really lovely ceremony as, too...the standesbeamt said some very nice words about marriage, and our interpreter (slash-unofficial-photographer!) was also very friendly. All in all, it was a very sweet moment and the beginning of a new chapter and our new family. Thank you to everyone who sent good wishes our way: it worked, and all was wonderful...and we look forward to celebrating with all of our friends and family stateside very, very soon!
