Marriage Slideshow

  

On May 4, 2005, for various personal and financial reasons, we went to City Hall in Brooklyn and tied the knot -- legally, at least.

It was a very small celebration, as we are saving the big guns for December in Arnsberg, Germany, where our wedding will take place.

Joining us in the chapel were Robyn Goldstein, who introduced Steffi and me, her boyfriend, Andy, and Steffi's mother, Christiane, visiting from Germany.

Joining us for the brunch afterward were Christaine's fellow German travelers, Gudrun and Linda.
