Mar 2018

We had the greatest time at our wedding. We were starving young graduate students. most of the people at the wedding were fellow grad students, a few professors we were close to, friends from undergrad days, and some family thrown in. We had three receptions.. one in grad school, where we lived. One in my folks hometown for their friends a couple of weeks later, and one in Hawaii, for my wife's family and relatives ... most of whom didn't come to where we went to grad school for the first. It was a blast!
