And so here’s a discussion topic. To my married readers…tell me about your wedding. What did you do? Where? Big and lavish? Small and intimate? Share as much or as little as you’d like.

Ours was in Phipps Conservatory's outdoor garden in Pittsburgh. Had about 115 people. Ish. Family and friends. Started about 6 in the evening, reception also in the garden. My cello teacher played a Bach piece during the wedding and we had a (CMU music student) string quartet play a couple pieces for the ceremony, the a friend of my mom's from grad school played jazz piano for the reception, along with a bass and a sax. Almost forgot to hire a photographer-- my bro takes really good photos, and his were the ones we looked at anyway. I think we could have just skipped the pro.

Followed up by a honeymoon camping and hiking in West Virginia-- we just got in the car and looked at topos and stopped when we felt like it. It was great.
The only think I'd have done differently would have been to have a longer time at the reception-- it went by too quickly! And there were so many people I wanted to talk to that I barely saw.
