It’s all over!
The wedding weekend is over–Hugh and I are exhausted, but we had such a good time. The weather was perfect and there was a slight breeze. The sun set right after we were pronounced husband and wife. Minus the wedding crashers (seriously) everything went perfectly and exactly how we imagined it. We only wish we [...]
There’s got to be a limit to this…
There’s got to be a limit on this whole, “it’s MY day” thing. Am I the only bride-to-be on earth who’s freaked out by reading the big wedding message boards?

First post
Welcome to our wedding blog. I closed my personal blog to the public in 2007 after blogging since 1999 (back then I called it an “internet diary”).
