I think we all sent up prayers to the sky that it wouldn't rain on this day...but it did anyway. It wasn't just rainy, it was downright blustery--cold, windy and foggy with leaves blowing everywhere. Umbrellas were a must. We all got soaked and it. Was. BEAUTIFUL. It was perfect. It was cozy despite the dampness. And after it all, these two shared a private mountain on the deck facing the mountains to read vows they had written for each other. I ugly cried into my sweater. This is what love does--over comes all obstacles and truly feels joy even when it's a little grey (or a lot grey, whatever).

I swore to myself (and all of you) that 2017 would be the year of the blog (not dog...well that's a lie, I just got a puppy, but let's discuss that later). I know it's November, but join me in reflecting back on a summer full of epic and awesome weddings. Stephen and Olivia surprised everyone by throwing an "engagement party" turned surprise wedding, and followed it with delicious treats, farm animals, a gorgeous sunset and some serious vineyard races. Check it out.
