We sit in the Air New Zealand lounge, ten minutes until boarding time. After the whirlwind of the last week (honestly, month or more), we spent the last three hours with a few things to finalize. But, mostly, we finally had the time to sit and reflect. And with our amazing wedding ceremony and reception having come to a raucous close, we are left with thoughts of all of you.

Thank you to Bob for hosting an amazing extravaganza of a party. Thank you to Pat, Barbara, Maly, and JJ for standing with us throughout. Thank you to our families–our parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and all relatives (blood or bond)–for being there to celebrate the union of souls you helped forge. Thank you to our friends, without whom we would have had too much food (and also the constant, unyielding emotional support you offer).

Thank you to those with whom we got to dance. Thank you to the ones we saw for a few minutes. And especially thank you to everyone who we didn’t quite have time to connect with for more than a quick hug, wave or good-night.  

We could never have made it through the last few months, days and definitely not last night, without all of you. We will think of you all whilst traveling in New Zealand, Moorea and every day after.

We will be globetrotting for the next two weeks. But, you had better believe there are tons of photos and updates coming. And with all the pressure off, maybe Andy can get them up in a timely manner, ;-).

Vi ses snart!
