The best day of our lives.
You. Looked. Incredible. Just stunningly beautiful. I was slack jawed. I felt so lucky and honored and happy to get to start our new life, with you.
Mary and Larry did so much prep work for the place to look amazing for us. Aaron and Claire, and your parents and brother, all came to help construct and help with getting the property ready, including misting fans and handrails and string lights. We smudged each other, in front of everyone! The coffee grinder was emptied of the preground beans, so during our ceremony there was almost no coffee to brew, but it made a refreshing essence of coffee water that we actually quite enjoyed.
Our vows couldn’t have been more perfect. I was very proud of mine, working on them and revising for months. Yours were exactly what I wanted and needed to hear, and had me falling apart with happiness.
I slaved over making a Piña Colada recipe that didn’t use artificial ingredients, just real foods, for the slushy machine that Ben loaned us, and it worked!! Both that and my mom’s margarita mixes were a hit in the sweltering 99° heat. We rented an extra bathroom on wheels and people* would go there just for the AC.
*Maybe that was just Yuvi.
We had 6 amazing toasts from our friends and family. Both of us felt so connected to our people, honored by them, accepted, loved.
We danced and dipped. You and your dad were practiced. Me and my mom spun around to Aaron’s serenade. Then we all shook it off to Taylor. Did I mention you were drop dead gorgeous?
The cake was delicious, raspberry pistachio, and beautiful.
All our family and friends got along. People talked and mingled and said wonderful things about us. They were all so happy to be there and witnessing our union of love.
It was perfect.
