Do You Know the Way to Santa Fe?

The worst thing about Joy’s wedding was that it was so good, I fear the comparison when our college friends attend mine. Muchas gracias to Hennifer for deciding to get married the month before my summer wedding!

The matching necklaces for the bridal party…I swear I was going to do that. The tables named for geographic locations…ask Dean about the maps I have on special order. No matter how much I huff about having certain ideas in my head, Joy’s execution was spot on. Besides, I don’t have enough creative juices in my pinky to pull off what she delivered. Joy made gift bags for the out-of-town guests. I’d count the Loretto Chapel as the best wedding ceremony location I’ve ever witnessed. The programs, escort cards, and typewritten letters for each guest? The best artistic designer or professional wedding coordinator couldn’t have done a better job. Joy’s dress? It sparkled more than my engagement ring.

Pictures coming as soon as I clear out my emails, clean the RV tonight, catch up on voicemails, watch missed episodes of Entourage…
