I feel very lucky to report the wedding was lovely and a good time was had by all. Two very important lessons learned: 1. My girlfriend was right when she said that people will surprise you during your wedding planning - for better or worse. Some will step up beyond your wildest expectations, and some don't, but it all works out in the end. My groom showed up and stepped up, and I could not be more proud to be his wife. 2. Weddings are a lot of work! But in the end, really cool, especially when your guests and wedding party are really good people. We were surrounded by a lot of love that day. Even the sun showed some love, beaming down over the cloudless sky though crisp, colorful October leaves.

Here's just a sampling of our snapshots.
