May 9th I was actually invited to 3 different weddings--one in Boston, one in S. Carolina, and a Sikh one in San Jose. I wish that I could have gone to all of them, but decided on my best friend from high school's. I didn't take any photos at the wedding or reception, but they did have a lovely photographer. I even am in few of the photos on the photographer's blog. (The two b&w of her getting ready, and one of my hand with a plant.) It was a beautiful wedding, complete in every detail. The ceremony incorporated much music, and the reception focused on dancing. I am so happy that the two of them are together, and that I could be there to witness their union. Here's one photo I did take, at the bride's apartment, where she graciously let me stay:
Both hat and cello belong to the bride.
As favors they had a bottle of honey (from Ohio State bees! Educated bees make the best honey.) and elm tree sprouts, which they raised themselves. Two people at my table were not taking their trees home, so I brought home three. One didn't make it, and I was worried about one of the others, but I have 2 healthy plants right now. Here are some plants in their greenhouse:
