The whole town is exhausted from the whirlwind of events of last weekend. A very happy sort of exhaustion. The anticipation of the wedding, family and friends coming into town from all directions, flowers to pick, and food to prepare. There was the bridesmaids dinner on Friday night that Anne never made it to. You see, the oven that she was using to bake the wedding cakes did not work and she first thought of crying because she had been up until 4:00 A.M.waiting for Liz and Seth on a much delayed flight from Boston. We put our heads together (what did we ever do before cell phones?) and borrowed another good friend's ovens. So she drove with batter-filled pans across town to Diana Wilson's and with a call ahead to have both ovens pre-heated, in they went while more batter was mixed. Oh - she also had to cart along a Kitchen Aid mixer and all the ingredients. Needless to say, her evening went a little later than she hoped, but the result was SO worth it. Liz took over a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for sustenance and to offer moral support and help with clean up.
Then there was the ceremony in the tea garden at Hillbrook Club. Could this Dad look any more proud? The dress and long veil were so perfect for Laura. So beautiful.

We all had many occasions to be together this weekend and it was so much fun. The rehearsal luncheon at the Morrow's could not have been a more beautiful setting with the lake in the background. Who ordered this weather? The party at the township hall Saturday night was a lot of fun. The hours of work to plan and decorate amazed me. Move over, Martha Stewart.
Now the garden needs tending to again after several days of neglect from me (but not from Terry!). The tomatoes just keep on coming with this heat. Saturday will come sooner than we think and it will be market day again. I'm very glad for special occasions like Laura and Benjamin's wedding. Some times you just have to stop everything, be still, and celebrate.
