We got married yesterday!   We eloped to a Pacific Northwest island, and miraculously were able to have our little ceremony in a beautiful garden......outside, in October!  

 

We wanted to thank VJ for all the support and answers to questions along the way, particularly @Greenbaum, @geowrian, @Naes.   It sure helps to have advice from friendly folks further along in their journeys.

 

On to the next chapter!  ❤️
