It's amazing how fast time flies when you're (1) happy and (2) planning a wedding.

We got married last Friday, here's the video page and the photo page.

The ceremony was very informal and brief, but everyone enjoyed it very much. We broadcast live to Russia so that Natasha's family could also watch. Many of my family and friends stepped in front of the computer and waved to Natasha's assembled family, so it was a very interactive experience for all!

There are 4 videos, the longest being the ceremony itself and I think that one is only 9 minutes or so long. There are more than 500 photos, though, so enter there at your own risk!

Many thanks to everyone here on VJ who answered our stupid questions on our journey, and many congratulations and well wishes to everyone here!

Kevin & Natasha

Vika is doing excellent in school, which she loves (most days). Her progress in English is just amazing. Natasha is ready to look for a job, but we still have to wait for AOS and EAD. She comes to work with me 9 days out of 10 and plays on the computer. Next up is SSN name change, then submit all the docs for AOS. Given the cost of the application and the recent wedding expenditures, I imagine we'll be filing just prior to the visa expiration!
