This Is Honestly The Best I Can Do Right Now

I have a three story house where about fourteen people have been eating, sleeping, living in to clean up, packing to do, the breakfast to attend, and eight hours of a drive ahead of me. And a great many of those people are still here.
So. Here are a few pictures. I used my own camera and hardly like any of the pictures I took but my friend Kerry sent me some from his phone which are beautiful and I'm going to post some of those. There will be more eventually, I'm sure. These pictures are heavy on us old folks but you know what? You can see the love in them so clearly that they seem to me a reflection of the whole event.
It truly was the most beautiful wedding I've ever attended.
And the party was amazing.
So. Here we go:

    For once on your blog, I can say no words are required. It looks like an absolutely wonderful day.
    You'll have to tell me the area it was in, because I've already told Steph a week in the mountains isn't a bad idea. Have a safe trip back.

    Oh Mary, I can hardly stand it. So much love and joy. I remember when I first came to your blog, Jessie and Virgil had just met, and there was a post you wrote, the two of them in the hallway, and i remember distinctly feeling something, that Jessie's future had arrived. You must have felt it too, because I could only feel such a thing through you, your words, your mother's heart. The two of them were beautiful then and have only grown more so. I am so happy that the day was so glorious. Bless their love, always.

    I found the word. What you have all just made is SACRED. This is why it makes me cry in the best most holy way.

    Oh, it was beautiful. It is truly, truly beautiful. I can feel the energy of your family and friends through these photos and it is wonderful. I love the way people come together at a wedding and I can see that all over these posts. The love and community. Jessie looks like perfect spring and you are just infused with beautiful light. Both radiant.

    Congratulations, Ms. Moon.
