Well my friends, it’s my pleasure to tell you that Cynthia and I finally tied the knot. On December 19 in Abu Dhabi she said yes and August 6 in Williamsburg Virginia we got hitched. Those 8 months have been a whirlwind of emotions to say the least. And the final week it seems I just did what everyone told me to. I had so much going on that my typical response was ‘sounds great, let’s go with it’. I could only imagine what Cynthia was going through. People would ask ‘What do you think about these flowers? These colors?’ Me: ‘Sounds great, let’s go with it’.
I pretty much said yes to most everything except for 3 key pieces of the wedding: the rehearsal dinner (a whole hog roast on the beach–wouldn’t have it any other way), the 1st dance (Buble’s ‘The Best Has Yet To Come’ elegantly choreographed to foxtrot, tango and salsa) and the honeymoon (10 days of adventure in the Nicaraguan jungle). Cynthia has excellent taste in pretty much everything, so I was agreeable on how everything else was put together, but these three things were mine.
So yeah! We did it, and looking back on the whole event I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Everyone had a blast and there were no complications whatsoever (a little rain just before the ceremony, but it was inside the church 
). I can’t tell you how many scenarios with hiccups were running through my mind, luckily none panned out. And major props to her sister Kathryn for handling the wedding planning (if the State Department doesn’t pan out, she has a real future here). Here are a few of Peter Davis’s photographs from the event (major props here too!).
