wedding

Our amazing pianist friend is also a very talented photographer. Somehow, in between playing for hours, he also managed to get some great photos of the event!

This is a photo from one of our guests. I like the “forward momentum” and the happy looks on everyone’s faces.

Okay, let’s get this recap started! I slept like a rock on Friday night after all the rehearsal festivities. After a shower, I sat in the living room writing thank you notes while waiting to be picked up. Margaret and Nicole came over before 10 armed with pastries from Tartine. We drove across town to…

There were a few points during the wedding weekend that had me exclaiming “it’s a wedding miracle!” The rehearsal dinner was certainly the first! I booked this local pizza joint at the last minute after only eating there once and never seeing the private room. We had been told up until a few weeks before…

We very much required a rehearsal the evening before the wedding. All of our AV equipment had to be tested and the musical acts (some who had never before all played together) needed to give it a go. So it was a very happy scene when I arrived at 4:00 in the rain to find…

Okay, let’s get this wrap-up started! I had a packed evening the Thursday night before the wedding. It was so great to have this time to spend with friends before the madness. First, a group of us met in the neighborhood park to practice our songs for the wedding reception. We were outdoors to accommodate…

Good morning internet, how are you? I’m so excited to be home and to share all the news from the past four weeks. Honestly, I must be the luckiest person in the world the way everything has turned out. From the rehearsal dinner, to the wedding, to the show, to the entire honeymoon…it has all…

Emily has invited me to contribute to help ease the withdrawal pains. I won’t make any promises but I’ll do my best as a substitute. I just wanted to share a few photos of the big day! Everything was wonderful. The bride was lovely, the groom sentimental. I had a great time and was honored…

As Rob said yesterday: it’s the beginning of the beginning! In just a few hours, our wedding and vacation officially start. Guests are coming into town from all over the country. We’re getting well wishes from co-workers, friends and readers. People are offering to help left and right. And I appreciate it all! It’s been…
