The getting ready.
The nervous laughter.
The family formals that somehow became comedy hour.
The little looks between them when nobody else was supposed to be watching.
A short trip to the park, where these two said I do beneath a gazebo tucked into the trees, surrounded by all that lovely green, and then back home again — because apparently the best wedding venue was the one with the good people already in it.
Cocktails in the backyard.
Ch*****ne.
Speeches delivered beneath warm pools of incandescent light.
A room full of people laughing too loudly and crying too easily.
The kind of wedding where the day feels less like an event and more like a very beautiful gathering of people who genuinely, deeply love each other.
And then, naturally, the night ended exactly where it should:
In the dedicated smoking section.
Honestly. A perfect wedding.
Here’s to a marriage full of the same things that made this day so good: good friends, great food, terrible jokes, beautiful surroundings, and enough love to make a backyard feel like the whole world.
