Well, something very big happened this month — Charlie and I got married! After nearly four years together, we had the city hall wedding of our dreams on April 28, 2023.
This was the first of our three weddings — the small, legal wedding. After this one we have our big Prague wedding in late May, and our smaller Boston wedding in early July.
Read on for the wedding — and more adventures in this past month.

Highlights
Getting married! It was an awesome day and we had a blast!
Some details: I wore an ivory Gaâla skirt suit with a matching fascinator and gold Jonak pumps. Charlie wore a navy suit with a white shirt and a purple tie. I carried a cat-safe bouquet with pale pink roses and freesia; Charlie wore a matching boutonniere.
We walked into the town hall on Old Town Square; made vows that were officiated by a city councilor wearing a lot of gold medals; listened to hyped up organ versions of Mozart’s overture to The Magic Flute, Tonight from West Side Story, All You Need is Love by the Beatles, and Handel’s Arrival of the Queen of Sheba (we had to choose four songs from a very random collection!); signed some papers; and walked out of the building into a crowd waiting for the astronomical clock to do its hourly show.
Our friends Klara and Aeon served as witnesses. Afterward we headed across the street to U Prince, a rooftop bar with the best view over the square, and shared a bottle of Prosecco. Then we headed to Kantyna, our favorite restaurant, for carpaccio, tartare, steak, and beer. Then a cupcake place nearby. Then Bugsy’s Bar for craft cocktails. And a return home at a reasonable hour!
All in all, a great day, and I’m so glad I got to have the simple courthouse wedding experience. It really pares it down to what matters.
If you’re planning a complicated wedding — multiple nationalities or locations — I highly recommend doing the legal wedding on your own ahead of time! It’s such a relief to know that the paperwork is DONE so we can focus on having a great time.
