Kim Marcille & Michael Romaner tie the knot on the Savannah.
In a simple yet sweet ceremony, Michael and I were married on September 26th at Hammond’s Ferry in our hometown of North Augusta, SC on the Savannah River, just upriver from our neighborhood. In a quasi-elopement, we invited only our children (his daughter Alexis, 20, and friend Ray, and my son Zack, 19, with his girlfriend Katherine). We celebrated at Manuel’s Bread Cafe with prosecco, a lovely sparkling Italian wine, and a lovely dinner with the kids. A week later we embarked on a two-week tour of Italy, visiting such romantic places as Venice, Florence, Tuscany and Lake Como.
We re-said our vows at San Marlino church, a church high on a cliff that you can only reach by hiking a trail up the mountain. The last four days, we stayed at La Darsena (The Boathouse) in Tremezzo on Lake Como. The first day there, we took a ferry across the lake to Bellagio, and visited the Melzi estate. Melzi was the chancellor of Italy during Napoleon’s reign. We sat high up on the perfect lawn of this estate, and told each other Father Guido Sarducci jokes as we looked over the sparkling lake. (Remember the 5-Minute University?) We spoke in fake Italian accents for about a week after we got home. I’m happy to say we’re recovered from that now, but still suffering from having to leave that beautiful country behind.
Right at this moment, though, as I sit on the patio of my home in the beautiful Fall weather of our hometown, I can hear the church bells ringing the half hour across the river, and I think, “We’re not so far from Italy after all.”
Ciao, mios bellos.

You GUYS! I find out by checking LinkedIn and seeing Kim’s name change! Just so, so happy for you, you both look wonderful. And for the record, I’d like to think the DigiGals from NAA Fellows Class of 2006 had something to do with it. Excellent news. Here is to you both, congratulations.

Dear Kim.
It´s almost 20 years since I said goodbye to you and Zack back in Miami, but I think of you once in a while. A while ago I found you at LinkedIn, tonight (danish time) I find time to update my connections, and wanted also to send you an invitation. So I could read you re-married. Congratulations.
Kind regard – your first au-pair from Denmark, Marit
