We got married, and everything was exactly incredibly magically perfect. Everything! Sometime around 3am, just after the third DJ had finished his set, my friend Megan jokingly asked me, “Jeez, how are any of us ever going to top this?”
“Have your friends do the whole wedding!” I laughed. And it’s true. Our community of friends and family gave us the most amazing party ever. What a gift. How does one even begin to say thank you? I have no idea.
I’m sure I’ll write more after I’ve gotten my head out of my ass.

congratulations & all that jazz! your wedding party sounds amazing…one question, i must know what kind of flowers those are in your bouquet, the purply-bluish ones that are most apparent in that photo of the two of you. they’re exactly what i’m looking for to go in my bouquet..if you don’t mind.
