Just Married!
This will be a surprise for most of you since, well, that's what we wanted! Rich and I tied the knot on a sunny evening on December 9th. It was a traditional Sri Lankan Poruwa ceremony - entirely in Sinhalese (so we think we're married...) We were joined by our great friends Sam Wales and Dave Brennan. We were going to send out a global invite but decided to keep it really intimate and simple - as simple as you can get with dancers, drummers, chanters and an elephant! Also, Sri Lanka is a little far for most of you (especially those of you with new babies). We know some of you will be a little disappointed that we didn't fill you in on the details beforehand but, you all know how I love surprises! So, SURPRISE!We will put up more photos and some videos soon. It was quite the production! Needless to say, Rich and I are very happy and we had a wonderful day. More to come...

I have been "away" from the website for a few weeks! However, I too had a feeling... this would be one of the "tasks" on the trip "to-do list". You both beam with love and happiness, and I can't wait to hear all about it...
Many happy returns to you both. Best wishes on your upcoming adventures.

Hi Richard & Joanne,
The video and photos on CD are now being dubbed across Kirkland. Ralph and Christianne are the official spreaders of this wonderful news to Larochelle Street.
My Mom saw the photos and was simply amazed. We are bringing the video to the annual Gregory gathering this Saturday so that Gerry can catch up on all the fine details.
Congratulations, we love you both.
Love
Mom & Dad
All the best to the both of you...May your lives be filled with health, love and happiness...
