Though the wedding took place in a church, it'd be hard to say that Beth and I take much stock in ceremony. About 180 people were fit into the Unitarian Universalist Church in Urbana - where I had gone to nursery school decades before - and sat through the ~5 minute ceremony, written by myself and performed by the Pastor Axel Gehrmann. It was short, to the point, and, to my mind, absolutely wonderful. And as we came out, escorted by our closest friends, we were finally married.

Note that the ceremony is reproduced here. And that most of the pictures here were taken by Himanchu and Josh Tolbert.
