I very rarely do this, but you have to go read this guest post by a bride on San Francisco wedding photographer Anna Kuperberg’s blog. You have to. It’s like a wedding graduate post, but from a totally different perspective. It’s well written and wise and true. It sums up a lot of what I’m trying to write about here, in a way I would never quite say it. She says about your wedding day:

Yes. Because you mustn’t take the title of my blog too seriously. In the end, a wedding is about something deeply unpractical, something deep and real and silly and foolish and wonderful and true. Now go read it.
