Wedding, 3 October 2009
From round the girdled Earth they roamed
We were honored to have so many of our friends and family with us to be a part of it. So many people came from so many different places around the world, we have put together this map.

Legal Ceremony
It was not possible to get married legally in New York State (marriage is regulated in the United States independently by each state, not by the federal government). Therefore, we took the train to Darien, Connecticut. Kevin lived in Darien when we met, and Simon lived there the summer of 1997. We got our license from the Town Hall, then Justice of the Peace Mary Pugh took us to the Darien town beach on the Long Island Sound for a simple ceremony. We then went back to Darien town hall to get our marriage certificate. From there we took the train back to NYC for a celebratory lunch and then the rest of the activities. Mary also took a lot of pictures and video.
There are lots of details below about the wedding, but we know what everyone wants is
as well as an expanded version of the program, including audio recordings.
Love makes a family: nothing more, nothing less.
So live and love as hard as you know how.
