Kate and Patrick got married on October 11 at 11-ish in the morning. They planned to have their ceremony in the woods but the weather made that a bit difficult (rain, rain and more rain) so the ceremony took place at the hall where the reception was to be held.
It all started on Friday night when Kate and Patrick and friends and family showed up to decorate the hall. It was a nice space and a perfect size for the number of people. Not too big so that it felt imposing but not too small so that you felt crowded. We swathed the walls and doorways with tulle and flowers and put some centerpieces made of natural elements (wood and candles in glass jars) and then left for the night.

On Saturday morning I was expecting 7 or 8 young women at my house to get dressed and gussied up. I was a bit concerned-one bathroom/one mirror and all those young women. Somehow it all worked out and the day was beautiful. I'll let the photos tell the story.

| And family. |
There was an amazing well written and performed Toast by Emily. She based it on D&D (which Kate and Patrick play each week).
It was a wonderful day and a Good Time Was Had By All.

The next day, Pk and I went out for brunch to celebrate our anniversary. We had a great time eating good food and then walking around a flea market where I found a replacement bowl for the one that got broken last week (a Depression Glass bowl that belonged to my grandmother) for 5 dollars!

I started one more in neon green, neon purple and white stripes. I love it but Peter Kevin says it's "interesting".
A bit of insomnia last night is making me fight to keep my eyes open today so I'll sign off. Have a great Monday!
