The Ceremony

This is the video and some photos of the ceremony. It is a bit tough to hear because of all the ambient noise and the cavernous hall. I think you are able to hear most of what Bob (our justice of the peace), said. Bob did a wonderful job with no coaching from us. Try to hear what he is saying. I think it will serve as a good reminder for years to come.

Behind us there is an auditorium that was having a performance in celebration of First Night (New Year's Eve). Serendipitously, applause broke out just as we finished our ring ceremony. For an instant I did think they were clapping for us.

There was something really fun about doing this so publicly, with people walking all around us. Behind the video camera was a hall with doors to municipal offices. I was told that government workers were peering through the doors during the ceremony. I hope it brightened their day a bit.
