Which you may find amusing
About nine years ago Mr Raitte created a modest html site, to share some of the photos of our most impromptu wedding with friends and family in far away places. He was as yet uninformed on the correct and consistent spelling of my sister's name.
We had thought the site was lost to time but last weekend, while searching for something else entirely, he found it. Here, for your (and my) viewing pleasure, it is.

Awwwww.
Also, are there really such hotties on irc? hmmm... :P

It's lovely Anna - a beautiful record of your day.

Mr. Raitte is obviously a keeper for many reasons, but one of them is that he makes a lovely wedding website (with footnotes no less). You should rent him out.
I love how your family could not be misaken for anything other than a family--you all look like peas in a pod.

Oooo what a beautiful love story! Thanks for sharing with us.
Posted by: Maryann at December 8, 2006 04:28 PM
I wish my wedding photos could rest on a web site with an accompanying sweet, sweet story! (Not to knock my own nuptials, though!) This is so charming.
I love seeing all those English faces. There is something distinct about them; my hubby is English (grew up in London) and when we spent time in the UK this past summer, I saw just how he fit in amid the fair skin and bright eyes. Lovely.
Posted by: Aura at December 8, 2006 04:51 PM
Amusing? No... more like a very special, very unique kind of wonderful!
