Congratulations! I see someone is successfully mixing work and pleasure, at least in terms of locale ;)
Out of idle curiosity, any particular reason you didn't have friends or family over? Are you planning an "official" wedding later?
Oh, and I see the resemblance between your Substack profile picture and yourself, was that you intentionally choosing a similar picture or did you commission it/generate it with an AI?
Thanks! Both of us wanted to avoid the stress of combining the rote legal filing with the social ceremony, so eloping was our way of "getting it over with". We didn't do this correctly though, because rule #1 of eloping is to shut the fuck up, but we told people about it and naturally they wanted to attend. We thought about maybe opening it up to 4-6 people, but then other people heard about that and understandably got pissed. So we resorted back to zero guests. Our plan is indeed to have follow-up parties to make sure everyone is included, but at a much more leisurely pace.
The profile pic is a random portrait of Ibn Battuta the Maghrebi explorer. I didn't think we looked very similar, but it was close and fitting enough for a PFP.
I dimly recall his career as an explorer, and also the fact that there was a Bollywood song named after him, for god knows what reason haha.
A bald faced lie, as expected of a lawyer (who is incidentally also bald), I can clear see one, don't tell me a royal feline doesn't count!
Haha what a bizarre topic to have a Bollywood song on, but hey at least he did visit India on his way to China
