we are today's wedding of the day on weddingchannel.com
{ collage via weddingchannel.com }
this crazy world. we had so much fun with our amazing photographers (max + margaret of unusually fine!), and they asked if they could submit our photos out to blogs before i posted them here, and ... of course!
and that's how we ended up as a wedding of the day on weddingchannel.com. wild.
the gallery the editors put together lists just some of our amazing people and resources, which i plan to write about individually over the next few weeks -- it's hard to express just how thankful i am --
our wedding and everything you see in these photos is the combined effort of so many people -- painstaking and herculean labors, performed by joyous, patient, loving-beyond-words friends and family -- every photo from that day has a story, a labor, and love behind it, and i hope to tell you a few of them that do justice to the photos that max + margaret have made, also with love, by hand.
and -- max + margaret, you know how we feel. thank you.
more stories to come.

love, actually
{ book love photography print by heatherkingdesigns }
it has been a while, all. first, i've been spending all my free time working on an amazing project for our friend's dad. he's in his early 80s and has written his wife a daily poem for many years, leaving little notes for her as he left the house early in the morning. some are funny, some sad, most rhyme, and almost all are unabashed love poems.
so we're making and printing a book with more than 200 of them, with his photography, and it's just so cool. complicated, but almost done.
his epigram is a quote from obama's speech in tucson, AZ:
"Did we tell a spouse just how desperately we loved them, not just once in a while, but every single day?"it's so moving to meet someone who actually does this, who can answer a joyous, buoyant YES, i tell her. i write it in a new way, every day.
makes you think: what gesture, what small thing could we do so that when we hit our 80s we still make out and hold hands and make poetry books for our anniversary?
also: making a book is not (too) hard! i hope to write up a post of what i've learned for anyone wanting to make an album or book of their wedding, honeymoon, love stories. more soon.
xo,

happy new year!
{ vintage atlas "thank you" envelope seals by kisforcalligraphy }
a funny thing about thank-you notes: the longer you wait to write them, the more spectacularly moving and heartfelt you feel they should be. at least that's how i feel: since it it has taken me this long, it had *best* be a serious literary gratitudinal magnum opus. which... makes it take longer, you know?
the same could apply for blogging: the longer it takes one to post after a break, the more pressure there is to for god's sake make it a good comeback, at least.
so i've decided not to worry about it. am back from my annual holiday hiatus, extended by our honeymoon in november, and here i am again. whee!
a belated happy new year, friends -- am wishing you all love, health, peace, rest, sanity, laughter, and adventure for 2011. more to come!
