yay!

I was so excited to see that two of my couples for 2008 made it to the finalist round for Boston Magazine's special wedding edition. Check out the website and if you feel so compelled, vote for Robin & Erik or Christina & Phil because they're the best.

olive tree: athens

honeymoon update
we've been in crete for the last four days. everything is closed due to some kind of religious-pagan carnival (think mardi gras but with religious restrictions on serving meat) so all the stores, many restaurants, and most tourist destinations are just plain closed. basically every day we walk around and have little adventures, which if you know ali and I is exactly what we do best.
I like being in a place where you can't understand what anyone is saying or what the signs say. it puts a sort of hyper focus on the sights and on one another without distractions. I can't even find an english magazine here!

tonight we take another overnight ferry back to athens for one more night... then back to Boston and real life. both of us are kind of ready to go back but not looking forward to the daily non-honeymoon that awaits.
