Join the new world

Dear eFriends,

Cotarius and I want to take this chance to thank you for the overwhelming love and support we received on the occasion of our eMarriage. If finding each other was the greatest thing in our eLives, the sharing of this time with so many wonderful people was surely the second greatest.



For those who were unable to be with us, here is the ceremony with a few edits for inappropriate comments - which can be revealed (or suppressed) with proper motivation:

*waits till MaryamQ and Cotarius are standing next to each other in front of me 🙂

Cotarius is always a cool person

This was just the beginning of the fun! For a good five hours or more, the party continued, with people dropping in and out, many of whom we have never seen on IRC before, and a lot of whom revealed themselves in unexpected ways – Olv for one quite literally! For a somewhat slanted view of the beginning of the party, please see cooke4444’s recent article, complete with pics.

The names of those who contributed to the fun are too numerous to mention. Special thanks go to the following:
Pieter557 for officiating
Cooke4444 for acting as DJ (and helping with publicity)
Mittekemuis – eSister of the bride and bridesmaid
Tecuvo – eTwin of the groom and best man
Konrad Neumann – eSon who gave the bride away
Flamendr – eSon who set up the room for the ceremony and party

We also want to thank BrunoCND for providing food (which cooke promptly ate) and his amazing gift of a Hummer, which was used by the rather drunk paras to go on their strike during the reception.
Thanks also to the many generous friends who sent us gifts in-game, some of which have been donated for the defense of eBe.

The guest list is long, and we could not possibly mention everyone, but we are very grateful to all who shared this evening with us and also to those who could not attend but sent their regrets. We feel very blessed to have so many wonderful friends.

Thanks to all of you for making this a night we will never forget!

And a special thanks to mittekemuis for the gift of this image. It sums it all up!
