Lovely

Tara’s wedding was yesterday and it was beautiful — she was beautiful. 

It seems I’ve had everyone I know — and almost everyone I’m related
to — in here working with us at times during the last two weeks so we
could keep humming along without adding undo pressure on Tara while she
prepared for her wedding.  With only two weeks to pull off a wedding,
you can bet she had enough on her mind. 

Friday night, as Tara and I set the tables for her reception, Tara
decided on a Jennifer Paganelli print for her table decor.  I picked up
a bolt from Jona in the wee hours of the night & sewed up six
table-runners for her on Saturday morning.  Tara & Colin picked up
the cake, Isaac did the roses run, Tara’s mom set out the food, and
everything elegantly came together just in time for the Saturday
afternoon reception. 

Sunday was the wedding and it was as lovely as any I’ve been to.
Tara was stunning.  Colin was beaming.  Everything was so peaceful and
joyful and sweet.  True, I should probably save my reporting until
Isaac’s processed the photos, but how can I resist?   I’ll just have to
re-visit the subject. 

It was a beautiful weekend, with a small group of guests (mainly
just the bride & groom’s close family members) — and two glowing
people who were clearly thrilled to finally be married.
