Bigger wedding post

Hi all again.

So this is the promised, longer wedding post.

It started out a little rocky. Since we didnt get married in a church, we got a civil marriage. That isnt why it was rocky though, it was when we got to the office of the syslumaður(the "judge" who performs the marriage). Me, my wife, my brothers and sister, theire kids, Rebekka's sister and brother, theire kids and our parents ... had to wait.

the person taking calls didnt see or realize that we were there for an marriage. so, 14 ppl had to wait while she was busy handling some one person doing some stupid stuff. we asked and asked "what are we waiting for??" and all she could say was "just a moment please", ppl started laughing at her for stalling, she was starting to sweat etc etc..

Buuuut, it all worked out lovely in the end, the ceremony took about 10 minutes at most, the judge asked if Rebekka wanted to take me as her husband, i asked the judge where she'd want to take me, she didnt like that joke and went on with the ceremony :P

After that we went to the Reykjavik Botanical garden, took some realy nice pictures . The weather was beautiful, we were really lucky, it was raining up untill the ceremony started, then it rained a little after we were done with the photoshoot.

The party it self with only 47 guests was held in my sisters HUGE house(thanks ALOT sis, it was perfect), she made a floral arch to stand in front of front door, custom made for me and Rebekka :)

We didnt want a sit-down-and-eat party, we wanted more mingling and NO ALCOHOL, when my sis got married there wasnt any alcohol either, and it showed just how good sober partys can be, so we wanted that too. and (who knew) it WORKED.
The food was 16 kinds of finger-foods, realy good and tasty. perfect for this party.

My lovely parents gave us the party as a wedding present(and boy, it wasnt cheap)


All-in-all, im ExTREMELY happy with both the party and ceremony and the lovely, lovely wife ofc, she is a perfect match for me, i am quite certain that i will be happy for many, many years to come with her :)
