Seven months after we returned from Europe (yeah, I’m slacking on the photos), our honeymoon pictures are finally online. Select a photo to go to that picture in Flickr where you’ll have easy access to the rest of our shots from that city. Or you can view the entire collection here.

In the next few months we’re profiling all of our wedding guests. Check back to see what we write about you.

As with so many of the other guests at our wedding, I met Jeff when I pledged his fraternity at Wake Forest. The first impression he made on me was at our spring formal in 1995. We had encountered some students from a nearby, rival university and had invited them to our campfire. Jeff, however, let them know in no uncertain terms how he felt about their school. Repeatedly.

Jeff made an impression on Tracey that weekend too. She attended our formal as the guest of another fraternity brother, but she pretty much left with Jeff. They just celebrated their five-year wedding anniversary and have two lovely daughters.

As my first post-college, big-boy roommate, Jeff had quite an impact on me. In fact, I was thinking of him this morning when I put a new Clorox Bleach Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaner tab in the tank of my toilet; one of the first lessons Jeff taught me was that using such a product would keep me from having to clean my toilet as often. For that guidance, Margaret and I both thank him.

Tracey and Jeff are also an inspiration for our wedding-night plans; they joined their guests at the after-party too. Hopefully their return from the bar to their hotel room after ours, however, will be less eventful than mine was after their wedding (again, I apologize to Pittsburgh’s homeless population and media outlets).

If you are talking with Jeff and the conversation hits a lull, ask him if in hindsight, he’d rather have been in Madrid, Spain, or at Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, on January 23, 2005. Or ask Tracey about the coolest gift she ever gave Jeff.

And if it appears the wedding reception hits a lull, I’m going to introduce Jeff to one of our guests who is a Duke alumnae.
