Happy Happy Joy Joy!

May 30, 2005

I’d always wanted to elope, so elope I did. Troy and I tied the knot on Saturday in a short and sweet civil ceremony at the Waterloo Park. I hope my family won’t hate me for this (I called home this morning to let my family know about the news, but nobody answered, so I emailed one of my brothers instead — no reply so far). So now I am part of a self-proclaimed crazy family. Both Troy’s mother’s side of the family and his father’s side of the family claim they are crazy. I guess that’s the reason everyone warmly welcomes me into the family. Because I’m crazy, too! :)

For a wedding that was planned in only two weeks, it went pretty awesomely. More pictures and gory details are coming up.
