Nathan and Elena getting hitched

What better way to begin documenting my life than by getting married. It was crazy, borderline madness, at times. One really isn’t prepared for the undertaking until one is truly having it happen to them. Married to my love of the past three years, she complements me in every respect. Surrounded by friends and family from all walks of life, it was the perfect day to a perfect start. Pictures of this event are very much elsewhere on the intertubes, but here is where I point out the finer details of the ceremony that only a few picked up on.

One of the things I tried to accomplish was slip in as many video game theme songs as I could that would not stand out to the casual listener, but a fellow gamer would notice right away. Here are a few of what I managed to get air time. An both were from well-respected role playing games.

The real treat was having the second song played by an actual flutist. To add to this wonderfulness, the flutist is not a gamer, or even remotely in tune with gaming in general. But, after I asked her to play this song (and a few others that didn’t make the cut), she had a newfound respect for the artists who make electronic music.

Yeah, I call that a win.
