Weddings

After a year of no weddings, I’m very pleased to report that Ezra and I have three coming up, and on the eve of our own 5th anniversary, we attended Rebecca Lord and Francois Gauvin’s beautiful wedding last night. It was very sweet, and lots of little things reminded us in all kinds of good ways of our own wedding–right down to the color scheme (burgundy bridesmaid dresses), the flowers (deep burgundy dahlias), and the size of the wedding, which I think was just slightly smaller than ours. If you were at our wedding, you remember my sister’s toast (so special to me that I can’t think of an adequate word to describe it). Rebecca’s maid of honor made a similarly touching toast. Love!

Thought of the night: Just as being very unhappy drives people to do things they would never do otherwise, being extaordinarily happy makes people do things (sometimes great things) that they maybe wouldn’t normally do.

    Gee, with all of the wonderful things that happened that day & night, I didn’t know that you still remembered that :) Happy me :) Still one of the happiest days of my life!

    How do you know the wedded folks, anyway?

    K– Terri has them on Flickr, but only in friends & family mode for now.

    I worked with Becky for ages; she moved on a couple of years ago, but we’re still in touch.

    And of course we remember your speech. It was great! Heartfelt and well-written and well-delivered. Yay!

    Rebecca used to work with Ezra at Forrester. I couldn’t forget Kimby’s toast!

    I, too, remember Kim’s toast, and not only was it lovely, but she had a tickler; she told us all to ask her about how Terri and Ezra met. A great toast, a wonderful wedding, a beautiful love.
