The Legend of Roo, Summer Boogaloo II (56k warning mebbe)
So I finally got around to figuring out how to ftp photos to my little Greek webpage, of my big, fat, Greek (Cypriot in this case) wedding.
We had some problems with my paperwork and your basic government red tape in Greece, so we went to Cyprus where they were more than happy to marry us (on a cliff side, overlooking a beautiful cove). Since we had to stay there a week to do paperwork as well, we turned it into a honeymoon, with the wedding in the middle. 
It was amazing. Beautiful. Everybody cried. Yes, me too. And I highly recommend getting married in Cyprus. Scenery is idealic. They have the wedding industry of Las Vegas, meaning they're all set up to take care of every last little thing, and every person on the island, from the passport control, to the taxi, to the hotel, to the townhall (paperwork), to the Ministry of Justice (more stamping of paperwork) were absolutely lovely to us.
Anyways, this thread is useless without the pics I cropped and re-sized in one minute, with no real uh skillz. Here you go.

Her wedding dress was in no way meant to hide our pride and joy (5 months pregnant with our little girl).
We couldn't be happier.
To all who've been following and support this whole little saga of mine....love ya all.
You crazy crazy like a fox bastard..
Cheers!

Congrats Roo! Such a great ending (well, not really a total ending... just a movie cutaway) to your story!

I've only been with GWJ for about 6 months now but I read your story from the beginning and I'm really impressed. Congratulations to you and your lovely bride! It just goes to show you that sometimes the greatest rewards in life are only available to those who go out on a limb and take a risk. You did just that and it's paid for itself in spades. Enjoy Fatherhood Roo - it's been the greatest adventure of my life and my beautiful wife and I couldn't be happier.

Congrats on your marriage, Roo! You both look so lovely and happy in your pics (well, except for her in that one where you're signing the marriage liscence--though, granted, it is pretty difficult to look enthusiastic about signing a piece of paper). You're right; the scenery IS gorgeous.
Opa!
I guess the obvious question is: when does the first season of your reality show start on MTV?

Way to go Roo! So who do they have lined up to play you in the movie version of your life? I vote John Travolta.

You're living the dream of a LOT of people, by the way, in case you haven't figured that out. Just sayin'.

Congrads Roo. I am extremely happy and proud of you for having the faith and courage to go through with all of this, as I know when you first seperated you were quite unsure of what the world had in store for you. Yours is an inspiring story that will be sung with much glory and honour in taverns all over the world
