Highlights from the wedding

In point form, as has become the norm around here:
-how well everything came together, thanks to the bride's excellent planning
-speaking of the bride, how radiant she looked! Absolutely gorgeous.
-how quickly my hair was done (45 mins) and how well it stayed in through the day and night (oh yeah, we stayed until 10:30, and this with a newborn and a toddler! I felt like a superhero, albeit a very tired one by the time we got home.)
-how great the speeches were; I cried copiously
-how amazing the pictures are (the photog showed some to us as we went along, and wow. Can't wait to see the proofs)
-how adorable D was as flower girl; I didn't know how she'd be for the actual walking down the aisle, but she didn't spook. In fact, she held my hand and used her other hand to point out every guest while saying "who's that? who's that?" And all this on just a brief nap on the way to the venue!
-how happy the bride and groom, just absolutely delighted and beside themselves
-how great the groom's family was: his sisters played with D all through the rehearsal, and she loved them. His mom also loved visiting with M & D, and helped rock D in her stroller near the end of the evening when we were trying to get her to sleep

There was much more, too, but I can't remember it all. Overall, a great day for a great couple! And now on with the rest of their lives.

  1. Wow! Our hair is really starting to look the same color! The only reason it looks a bit darker at the bottom is probably a bit dyed still.. Cool!!
