[Malin] So Clarion is over. I didn't really blog a lot about it while I was there, because after a point it's hard to describe any individual part of it without making reference to a lot of other little parts of it.

We want to thank everyone who came to our wedding, and everyone who sent us well-wishes. We had the most amazing night, and the most wonderful weekend, and our friends and family were a large part of that. We'll post links to pictures as we have them, but here's one of us being pronounced married by our celebrant. (Thanks to Lion for the quickly- ( Read more... )
