Two of my greatest college friends finally tied the knot this weekend on a spit of land along the Guadelupe River in central Texas. Most of the wedding party and family arrived on Friday morning to help set up and spend some quality time shootin the breeze. 
The wedding itself was simple and beautiful. Their vows included serving one another while encouraging their individuality. The mood was joyous and light-hearted especially in the middle of the blessi
ng when the pastor referred to them as Regan and May instead of Megan and Ray. The wedding party and family did most of the set up and break down, cake cutting, center piece arranging, DJing (iPod management), etc, so it was very laid back and FUN. The ceremony was on a landing looking out over the river at dusk--75 degrees, sunny, breezy, perfect. Dinner was an enchilada buffet, chips/salsa/guacamole on every table, and a keg and 
margarita machine to top things off--yeehaw! Apparently Megan and Ray bring 
out the dancer in us all and we partied until the cows came home. We sent them off through a tunnel of sparklers
It was fantastic to reminisce, but also to create some new memories from scratch--to hear what people are up to and what kind of an impact these 
beautiful, talented, and passionate people are having on their communities. Does everyone have friends as great as these? 
This was the first time since graduation (2.5 years ago) that I've seen most of these folks, and it was strange how NOT strange it felt! Seeing them and being with them was like putting on an old sock. These country bumpkins are like family--they make me feel comfortable and content in my own skin. We came from near and far to celebrate (Chicago, DC, New York, Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, CHINA), and most if not all of my closest friends from college made an appearance. In fact, I can't think of one person who was missing! If only the weekend could have stretched just a little longer...

Looks like it was a really nice wedding, and I'm so glad you had a wonderful time!!
Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures. Looks like it was a blast. You should find an excuse to all gather together for a long weekend every couple years to stay in touch.
