Just...


... married

We had a wonderful, intense wedding celebration, and a fantastic day - better than anything we could have dreamed of.

Thank you so much to all those sent us loving notes, cards, and thoughts... They touched our hearts.
Thank you Jenna for making my wedding jewellery... It was stunning and I'll show it better in a later post.
Many, many thanks to Sylvie, Julie and Thomas, who agreed to attend the wedding despite being the only non-relatives. It was very special to us that you were part of our joy. Thank you!

~*~
Pictures of the dresses will follow in the next few days... Yes - dresses! As you can see in the above picture, I had a surprise in store and made another, totally different dress for the wedding, which you can see here and that no one knew about except Seb. The dupioni dress I wore later, at the countryside reception.

~*~
We're spending the week in the countryside with my family, putting (frantic) finishing touches to our respective working assignments; we'll be spending the next week in Sweden, where Seb is attending a scientific symposium. An exciting prospect, for sure!
Meanwhile, our cat Ptite Mignonne is having a holiday of her own at Julie's! Merci encore, Julie...

(I'll be removing the picture in a fortnight... Convincing Seb to post this one was quite an accomplishment in itself. I can totally understand his reluctance - this "my" community of friends, after all, not his, even though he truly appreciates my online friends! Consider the above picture as a huge gift on his part) Picture removed and replaced with a less revealing one.
