{Click to get a closer look – apologies for the reflection in the photo} Here’s the gift I gave to Rob on our wedding day. I made this little collage from leftover wedding invitations on a quiet weekend after watching too much Michel Gondry. The scene on the left is the San Francisco skyline and…

I was so happy with the way the ceremony went! Our friend, Ken, was the officiant. My mom wrote the introduction about the importance of trust in a marriage and how we have trusted each other over the years. Here’s an excerpt: Trust seems to be key to maintaining long term relationships. Trust that the…

Our amazing pianist friend is also a very talented photographer. Somehow, in between playing for hours, he also managed to get some great photos of the event!

This is a photo from one of our guests. I like the “forward momentum” and the happy looks on everyone’s faces.

Okay, let’s get this recap started! I slept like a rock on Friday night after all the rehearsal festivities. After a shower, I sat in the living room writing thank you notes while waiting to be picked up. Margaret and Nicole came over before 10 armed with pastries from Tartine. We drove across town to…

Stephanie hosted us at Kezar Stadium last night for an intense “Cardio and Core” workout with her friend who is a trainer (I’ll…

There were a few points during the wedding weekend that had me exclaiming “it’s a wedding miracle!” The rehearsal dinner was certainly the first! I booked this local pizza joint at the last minute after only eating there once and never seeing the private room. We had been told up until a few weeks before…

We very much required a rehearsal the evening before the wedding. All of our AV equipment had to be tested and the musical acts (some who had never before all played together) needed to give it a go. So it was a very happy scene when I arrived at 4:00 in the rain to find…

First thing Friday morning, my mom, sister and Margaret arrived to go to the flower market. Browsing the stalls, we bought gorgeous butter yellow roses, white dahlias, white lisianthus, two kinds of eucalyptus pods, green “berries,” yellow and brown solidago, and chocolate cosmos. I lost track, but I think we spent about $400 on all…
