happy, love-filled blur

Today Britton and I celebrate our first anniversary, and I finally got most of the photos uploaded to flickr.

After the wedding, I told B that now I know why people get wedding photographers--so they can see what happened at their own wedding!

The whole thing was a blur, but it was a blur of goodness and happiness and faces and voices of people who we love best.

There were so many personal touches from people we love, too--Shanna's wreath on the garden door, Dan and Marta's Martha-perfect signs, Robby's website, Emily's hand-bound guest book, my mom's homemade mint brownies and lemon cookies, Jamie's groom cake, my dad's ingenious floating lights system, dozens of lanterns hung by family, last-minute touches of ribbon or a vintage cake plate from the Valentiners...not to mention wonderful pre-show showers and parties thrown by family and friends. We also had childhood friends and high school friends and city friends and hometown friends who came from all over. Thank you thank you to everyone who added their touch or came from near and far to be with us.

Getting to be with the one person you love best, surrounded by people who love you best, is pretty much as good as it gets.
