A year and a day ago, I got married officially to the love of my life. The official ceremony (and paperwork) took place in our hometown, in Alkmaar, and afterwards we had a celeration with the close family and friends. We were really lucky that my parents could come all the way from SA as well, and Rufus could join us after the ceremony.
The old town hall is such a beautiful historic building and the officiant was riendly and even shared a bit of a promo for the Alkmaar Cheese market that happens on Friday mornings. Only a small group of people could be accomodated within the room, so afterwards, as we made our way to the restaurant, it felt like a treat as we noticed more and more friends along the way.
However, as we have lives in different countries, we had to have a follow up celebration in South Africa soon after.
What a year it has been! I am so happy to have Marinus by my side every day.
