Please hold us in your hearts tomorrow.* We're doing this thing...
*For those of you, who like me need precise times for these things, please give a cheer at 10:30 AM PST, when we will most likely be walking down the aisle.

Hi, I'm Meg Keene and I live in San Francisco. I started this blog to talk about planning our 2009 wedding, but it grew to include a lot of grounded smart-alecky women talking intelligently about their weddings and marriages. My first book, A Practical Wedding, was released in January 2012.

Just arriving from annual kid-free weekend with hubby but thought of you today… I hope everything went maybe not perfect, maybe not like you thought it would, but fantastic nonetheless!
Congratulations, you did it! See you on the other side.

CONGRATULATIONS Miss Meg, from Wilmington, NC! I am so happy for you, and I hope to have the distinct pleasure of reading all about it some day. I hope you guys are off honeymooning right this very minute (or just sleeping to your hearts' content).
Have fun!

I almost mentioned at least 3 times yesterday to random friends/family, "Meg's getting married today!" like anyone knows who I'm talking about. I love you team practical.
Congrats Meg!! can't wait for stories/thoughts/photos.

A friend of mine shared your recent post (from Liz, about waiting for sex until the wedding night) in Google Reader and first of all: I LOVE THIS BLOG. Secondly?
August 8, 2009 was also my wedding date. So can I ask you: now that it’s just two months from our one-year anniversary, am I the only one who feels like time totally FLEW? (And yet, also like I’ve been married forever and it’s the greatest thing?)
:-)

Agreed. We got married the day after you did, and agreed.
