We got married in the Shakespeare Garden in Central Park. Nandini,
Andy, and Camille were there. The officiant was the Reverend Tony
Johnson. We read our weblog proposals to each other, and also poems. I
read Shakespeare's Sonnet 116, and Sumana read Yevgeny Yevtushenko's
"Colors".
Then we were married! It was awesome. We devoured snacks that I
brought: pears, pear-based muffins, and brownies. Camille left to go
to work, but Nandini, Andy, Sumana and I went to Belvedere Castle and
looked down at the turtles in the turtle pond.
So far we've gotten two gifts! (But don't send us more gifts; see
below). Andy's family gave us a great new Shun knife with a caricature
of Alton Brown's face on it--a knife that claims to be dishwasher
safe! And Brendan and Maria sent us a bamboo steamer, in reference to
when they were in New York and I went with them and a friend to Joe's
Shanghai in Flushing and ate juicy dumplings.
So, instead of gifts, we would like you to send us advice about
marriage. And nice letters. Sumana says that if you want to spend
money, you should give to one of the charities Steve and Alice listed
when they got married, starting
here. Also, Sumana needs a new Brita pitcher and a bookcase that
folds up--but don't tell her I said so!
Nandini and Camille took pictures, so soon you'll be able to see pictures.
