We had left immediately after the reception was over. Artem and I were already packed and ready to go; all we needed to do was change our clothes and leave. We said goodbye to all the kids as well as our friends and family.
Mom and Dad packed their stuff and left with us as well, riding to the airport with us. However, once we were there we had to separate since they were leaving the country, and Artem and I weren't even leaving the state. That was fine though, Artem and I had recently had a trip that was just the two of us, and I didn't want to be gone for very long. Mom and Dad had just reunited and married after all those years apart; they deserved a nice, long honeymoon so that they could spend some quality time alone together.
