The wedding video.

For all our family and friends who couldn't make it to our wedding in Las Vegas (particularly since most of you couldn't travel to the states on short notice), here is a video of our wedding ceremony at A Special Memory Wedding Chapel, a quintessential Vegas wedding chapel, just a few blocks off the strip.

The ceremony was surprisingly quick, but the important part where Simon finally makes an honest woman out of me is in there.

Our wedding was really fun, which is what we wanted. As you all know, we aren't much for pomp and circumstance. In fact, rather than a civilized sip of champagne for our toasts, we did shots of ouzo (to honor our meeting in Greece and to get drunk cheaply and efficiently)!



So I am now Alicia Irene Getchell Dearn. And Fitzroy is now Fitzroy "the Fuzz" Dearn. He's lost a few names and I've gained one.

Fun fact: the wedding immediately after ours was for a couple in a biker gang. Unbeknownst to the chapel, the rival gang had a wedding immediately after that. The two rival gangs decided that being in the same church at the same time justified several stabbings. Awww, the romance. (And the irony! I'm sure God really likes it when people stab one another in church.)

Also for fun: a picture of me doing a little work before the wedding. Because a lawyer can always be billing. (Just kidding. I was working on wedding stuff.)
