4 years ago today

*I was eating breakfast and talking to Mr. S, who was upstairs in our B&B(we weren't seeing each other, but were certainly talking!)
-I was wondering if the forecasted storms would make us move our wedding indoors. (we got to do the ceremony outside, but the reception was indoors, and surprisingly magical)

*My friends helped me get ready, did my hair, make-up, arranged flowers, made wonderful food, read poems and cheered our vows.
-I didn't understand why my dress was loose, last minute wedding jitters had made me lose weight!
*Our family got extra dressy, got a little lost on the way to the rehearsal dinner, read poems, made food, read poems, officiated(!), cried as we walked the labyrinth, took photos, and dj'ed music.
-My students served food and alcohol, played music( an incredible classical guitarist, a great 3 piece jazz band)- don't worry, we paid them...

*And, I walked a labyrinth and found Mr. S in the center and we got married. The river was sparkling, loving faces were all around us, and in the center it was just he and I and words we had chosen to say to each other. Vows that bind us.

It was a long, wonderful, exhausting day. And lovely. Our community was present, the community we can't wait to share with our baby.
