an end of summer wedding

over the weekend ceej and i went to a good friend's wedding.

it was one of those beautiful gatherings when we got to see friends

we haven't seen in weeks, months, and years, a gathering where there

were lots of big smiles and big hugs...and lots and lots of planning:

planning yurt trips, cabin trips, lord of the rings parties, picnics in the mountains,

and buying houses on the same street so we can all settle down together

for our kids to play together and most likely marry each other.

the wedding itself was simply perfect : a view of our valley and mountains,

party lights, beautiful flowers {yay ranunculus!}, cupcakes flown in from nyc,

a taco truck, and hand-squeezed limeaide...holy smokes that food was incredible!

and, and, and! the bride's elegant dress was made from a curtain purchased

at the local thrift store. a lovely night indeed.

someone's got to get married again so we can see everybody.
