Gooey Like Grilled Cheese

I am speechless. Not sure where to start with this one.

It was fabulous. It was gorgeous and intimate and so much more than I ever envisioned. When I started the planning process, I had nothing in my head. As I tried to figure it all out, it became slightly more clear. When I started blogging in April, the vision became a little less hazy, but I still couldn't see the final thing in my head. This was tough for me as it's how I work in my day job. I can see the final thing in my head and work towards that vision. My wedding was somehow different though.

Towards the end of the process, I had a clearer picture but the reality was so much more wonderful than anything I ever conjured up in my head. The flowers were stunning. The food was delicious. The friends and family who came to witness our love and commitment to each other was completely overwhelming. The support of our vendors and their commitment to our day was outstanding.

Did we have a few little hiccups? Why, yes we did. But they were small and managed with tack and speed by my wonderful day-of planner, Tabitha.

The most wonderful part of the whole thing is that The Candyman and I committed ourselves to each other in a way that was the most meaningful to us. It was so freakin' cool.

I'm trying to figure out where to start on the recaps. I can't do budget for a while because I need to get all that sorted out. And honestly, I do NOT want to look at that goddamn spreadsheet for a while. I need the honeymoon first (we leave on Thursday!). I don't have too many pictures yet, but I have a few from friends who posted on Facebook.

Once I get some more photos and have some more time. I'll start sharing! I gotta get ready to go to Mexico!!!!!

Thanks so much to everyone who came and helped us celebrate. It was so wonderful and meaningful to us, you have no idea. All the family and friends who worked so hard to get here - to travel from far and wide and take time away from their own lives and families to be with us - it means so much to us. Especially now, when everyone is feeling the pinch of the economy, that reality is not lost on us and that makes all the effort that much more wonderful, powerful and thick with ooey, gooey love. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, as well as The Candyman's!
