Well, a lot has happened in the last week or so. I packed up my belongings, flew back to the US, spent a week doing paperwork and errands, got married, had a 2 day long honeymoon and flew back to Europe. I'm now in my beautiful apartment in Berlin, but sad to be away from my husband.
The wedding was a small civil ceremony on April 4th (our anniversary), which will be followed by a church ceremony next March (09). Everything went pretty smoothly, apart from the fact that neither the bride nor the groom remembered to bring the marriage license along to the court house, which is about 30-45 minutes away from Julian's apartment. He had to drive quickly back to find it, while I waited with friends and family. The ceremony was lovely, with nice words spoken by the officiant and the pastor who did our marriage counseling (early on in the week the pastor gave us an A+ for our preparations!). Afterwards, we went to dinner with everyone there. Here are some pictures of the event!
