Our Wedding

July 27, 2002

 
 

This portion of the site is devoted to the biggest event of 2002, our wedding! The pages themselves are nothing special, but the wedding certainly was. We were so happy to celebrate with our families and close friends. Now that it's been 5 years, Robyn has finally gotten some pictures up. Why bother? Because it was truly a magical day, where Robyn got to be a princess (and eat her meal!), and Max got his wish - the end of the wedding planning.


So, here they are, 5 years later... the photos!



 

You Are My Home

The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you, not knowing
How blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.
