Rebecca and Steve tied the knot on Saturday at
Armstrong Farms. Their wedding was especially awesome for a number of reasons: one- they are my neighbors and friends, two- they had a very personal
self-uniting ceremony, during which a random goose made several cameo appearances, three- Rebecca's dress was hand made for her by one of her very talented friends, four- other very talented friends of theirs: did Rebecca's hair and makeup, cut Steve's hair the morning of the wedding, spoke about love and community during their ceremony, wrote and played a song for them, acted as dj and lighting specialist at the reception, and baked numerous pies and cakes for their dessert table. (Steve and Rebecca have many talented and gracious friends. Steve is the drummer in the band
Lotus, so many of his friends are talented musicians). All in all, it was a beautiful day filled with warmth and love and laughter and friends and family, and I felt lucky to be a part of it.
Here are some of the things that caught my eye throughout their day:

Here they are watching as their guests are being seated before the ceremony begins. Rebecca got a little choked up seeing so many of her friends and family there to celebrate their wedding day, many of whom had traveled across the country to be there.

I wasn't kidding about the goose.

The owner of Armstrong Farms has this cute little Corgi dog who laid down in the middle of the dance floor during the reception, looking for a belly rub. (I don't think anyone obliged either of these two).

Rebecca and Steve- wishing you a marriage full of love, laughter, rainbows and kittens.
