And also, I keep forgetting to put this link in. Here are our wedding photos, in case I forgot to e-mail anyone:

The day after the wedding. Photo taken from the roof of the house where we stayed, on the South coast of Wellington.
Our steadfast companion for the holiday - a FunCargo that we affectionately named "Barry". It was really short, but had a very high roof. I think we laughed all the way from Hokitika airport until we got to HariHari (where we were staying), about a 50 minute drive!
Franz Josef Glacier.
It felt like it was 2 degrees, and the wind was gusting at about 200km/h. Hence Jeremy's slightly pained look.
Hannah trying to look happy. Note the 5 jumpers, scarf, hat, and mittens.
Lake Matheson, near Fox Glacier. Unfortunately the photo is too dark to see Jeremy, but you can see how beautiful the lake is. A nice walk from the carpark to that viewing jetty.
Apparently it was a nice drive between the glaciers, but I fell asleep, so I wouldn't know..
Fox Glacier. We couldn't get very close without having to do an hour's walk, and it was getting late. So picture is taken from a carpark.
This is at Hokitika Gorge. Can you tell that I'm trying really hard not to freak out? The swingbridge was moving in the wind, and there is a swift-moving river about 100m underneath...
We spent our last afternoon walking around the beach. We played petanque in the sand. And I won.
And I saw my old science teacher, of all people!

Fabulous wedding attire. Your gown is so sophisticated and unusual, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the red shoes and stockings.
