Wow, what a week. After finishing a sequencing plate at work on Tuesday, Ariela and I were off to California to finish planning for an incredible party on Saturday. I must have had too much fun or too much to drink, because I think some scientist nabbed me and affixed a tracking device to my left hand. Ariela got one exactly like it too. Maybe we’re part of some sociologists’s study of pair bonded humans. Anybody ever seen anything like this shiny metal band before?

Wait a second, that looks like something that we had a jeweler in Madison make us for our…

WEDDING!

Great Darwin’s Galapagos, I’m married!

Currently, my name is still Karl Joseph Mogel, and my spouse’s name is still Ariela Haro, as we have to go through court to get our new fantastic name. I’ll be sure to inform of that change in official nomenclature when it happens.

Here’s another picture of the side of my ring.

I’ll have plenty of time to describe the details of the wedding later. And what went into it. For now, it seems the videographer has finished their work and the whole thing is viewable on Youtube, so enjoy! :)

Now that I’m back it’s time to hit the ground running tomorrow - field, film, grad student get-together… back to life.

Update: Due to popular demand for wedding pictures, there are a few available to check out on Ariela’s MySpace page, just check the tagged photos in her profile.
