It’s hard to believe, but one week ago today Justin and Stephanie tied the knot, threw a great party, and found themselves a married couple. I had the distinct pleasure – and honor – of serving as the best man. As Justin and Steph jet off to Hawaii (maybe they’re already there), I thought I’d [...]

Daily* Photo: the bride takes matters into her own hands
Yes, that would be half of the assembled guests, during the ceremony, in a photo taken by the Bride. During the ceremony. Taken by the bride. Everybody follow? (click photo for more description)
*Don’t expect a photo every day. Hopefully we’ll have occasional posts based on a photo like this, though. It’s pretty easy and [...]
To My (New) Family
