The wedding! So fun! My feet hurt! But my heart is full! Here are some pics!
And the flowers were a hit! It was a total joint effort — so many people pitching in. We had a ball.
Barbara was the coordinator. She had a clipboard! So official.
We were waiting for the food truck.
It was actually the first time I ever attended a same-sex wedding. And guess what? It’s just like any other wedding — only more fun! 
I am so happy to be helping two of my friends with their wedding flowers next Saturday.
This is the third time I’ve done flowers for a wedding. It is a lot of work and a lot of fun, and only slightly stressful. I never studied floral design, but I think I have a pretty good eye.
Another reason I am super-excited for Bridget and Amanda’s wedding is that this will be my first lesbian wedding. I know. I know. I am a little behind the times. I have many LGBT friends and you might think I’ve been to several. So proud my state honors same-sex unions!
I love love. And I love these two women — colleagues and friends — and super happy to celebrate their union.
Although, to be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of marriage, I am a huge fan of love. And I am a hopeless romantic. (Just because my marriages have been hard doesn’t mean everyone’s have to be!)
My brilliant friend Emily created a beautiful Pinterest board to guide the helpers on the flowers and the wedding vibe. I think this is one of the beauties of Pinterest — as a visual dictionary to inspire and guide.
So, day 5 of my writing challenge to write every day for the month of October, on this Sunday, I celebrate love and marriage and same sex unions! And flowers!
