It was one of the great joys of my life, and one of the best parties I’ve ever been to, but I’m not sure it was the best day of my life. The best day of my life probably involved a few more naps.
When we were about to leave our best man asked me if it was everything I’d hoped for. Without hesitating I said yes. Yes, yes, yes.
And anyone who tells you that you won’t remember your wedding is a fool.
PS Before you ask, I made my own hair thing, in the end. Well, WE did.
PPS Please note the guy dancing in the sweat soaked shirt behind us. That really says it all, no?
I am so over-the-moon happy for you guys!

Glad you mentioned naps – at my sister's wedding this weekend I was working out how I can get a nap at ours. And so glad to hear you can remember it all.

I hope your wedding was all kinds of Wonderfulness, but NOT the happiest day of your life – otherwise you'd have nothing else to look forward to except life going downhill.
And you're much too young for that kind of despair.

In honor of the Practical Bride, here is a blast from the past . . . 1913 to be exact.

It proves that "practical weddings" are an eternal challenge. They are talking about bridesmaids dresses that can be worn again, and other "new" ideas.

Hi Meg,
First of all, congratulations. Your blog was a calm storm for me in the midst of my wedding planning madness. I felt as though you always kept the focus on what is important- which had me jetissoning a lot of my uber decor ideas, trusting the beauty of the space that I had chosen, and really focusing on the ceremony and the people. On my wedding day I was joyous, nervous, excited, and a little bit crabby by the end (who knew I don't like my picture taken relentlessly?) but mostly overjoyed that so many different people from different parts of our lives could make it. Your wedding so far sounds joyous too and I can't wait to see more of it!
