you may kiss the bride
Saturday was kind of a blur. First, thank you to every one who made it. Even though I did not get much time to see all of you, it was very important to have you there. Second, there are many more people I wish could be there. Time, space and money not being factors… but alas that ‘finite universe’ concept… Third, I am now a husband. K was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen.
I was very happy with everything. We had few requirements about how we wanted things. They were:
Our wedding be in a church
Our friends and family be there
It be pretty
We be married when is was over
Thinking back, some very simple decisions made things much better. We wanted a church we would make a home. This meant visiting churches and making lists of what we liked and disliked. It took us a couple of weeks to find one we really liked. The church we decided on made a big difference in ways we had not even thought about at the time.
Some friends of ours had a stage manager for their wedding. This is a person with a clipboard and a watch to keep all the players on time. We asked Linnea to handle this job. There is not enough room on my wed server to tell you all the things she just handled. She ran things with grace and charm. K’s father said it was the best run wedding he had ever seen. I can not tell you how much that meant.
Last and best in my mind is that we married the right person.

I'm glad everything went so smoothly. I was delighted to get to be a part of making your day full of happy memories, and as few "details" as possible. I love you both.
