As we bid farewell to Amber, we moved on to the official opening of the wedding weekend, the rehearsal dinner (sans rehearsal of course). And this brings up a slight logistical problem for me, as we have roughly 47,000 photos and twelve hours of video of the wedding weekend, which I think may slow down the progress of the blog a bit. And since this is really supposed to be a travel blog, we should move through this part of our travels briskly to make room for the many subsequent trips. So I've devised an easy way to decide which of the 47,000 photos get to make it into the blog, using the laziness test. Whichever photos are easiest for me to locate, preferably already digitized so I don't have to scan, I will use.

I realize none of this is very romantic, but as you'll see from my waterworks on the wedding day itself, it was of course the most special time of our lives, and we are eternally grateful to the friends and family who schlepped all the way to the middle of nowhere to share this with us.
