the Proof is in the Pictures
Have you ever heard a director say that “99% of good directing is good casting”? In other words, if you hire the right people, your job is easy. Blame it on six zillion years of theatre training, but that’s the mentality I took with me, as I planned our wedding. I knew if I hired the right vendors, I wouldn’t have to worry about a thing.
And, as it turns out, I didn’t – worry about a thing, that is. Not surprisingly, that old director’s dictum is right. From the beautiful invitations, thank you notes, and programs created to perfection by Brooke Rainey Designs to spot-on floral arrangements by Adina at Frilly Bloomers, I was THRILLED by (and so grateful for) the work folks did on behalf of me and Jeremy. Add to the paper and flowers a breathtaking big band (Equinox Jazz), incredible cake maker (Kathy & Company), and weather so wonderful it could ONLY have come in answer to a million and a half prayers, and the end result was a day that, in my admittedly biased opinion, could not have been more beautiful. 
Luckily for Jeremy and me, we will never be able to forget it! Another amazing vendor was on tap to capture the entire event. Cristobal and Kathleen Perez, co-owners of Azul Photography, put their Pulitzer Prize-nominated talents to work and produced pictures that make me laugh, cry, and feel like the luckiest girl alive. 
At the risk of being that tacky hostess who makes you look at her vacation photos (though, honestly, since when has THAT stopped me?!), I’m posting a slideshow of some of my favorite shots here. It probably won’t surprise you to know that I’ve already watched it about sixteen thousand times. Each time I see these images, though, I am dumbstruck by the thought that that woman in the white dress in those pictures had absolutely no idea then just how amazing a man she was marrying. Jeremy truly is better than I even imagined.Sweetheart, as Dorothy wrote 81 years before we ever even met, “I know why I’ve waited / know why I’ve been blue / prayed each nite for someone / exactly like you.”
