Oh, I'm a such a sucker for a good love story. Nice to see that despite the arranged nature of their nuptials, the happy couple is already nuzzling to beat the band.

(Also, here's a nice aurora post by spock on MeFi for big sky fans here to enjoy, to which has been posted what I'd like to assume is a shot from the reception.)

Melissa, I am thinking those cows were indeed at the reception and, judging from their collective lack of pupilocity, were way into the thai stick. I always miss the good parties.
