This is the proof for the Save the Date card we envisioned, which a lovely local designer is making a reality for us.
When I first pulled the photo from the blue envelope, I welled up with tears. Oh, I love him so. He has guided me home.
When he first saw the side with the words, he started to cry, in his kitchen. He didn't need to say a word.
This makes it official. We really are going to be married.
Wow.

James and Ahern? Welsh and Irish blood (respectively) maybe? Always knew you had Celtic fire in you from the way you write.
Welsh: Llongyfarchiadau ar eich bywyd newydd!

What beautiful invites! They are so unique and I always think that unique is best. None of these commercialized cards in a box. Thanks for all of the great content. I've never posted before but have been reading for quite a while. Congratulations to you and Daniel!
And now a whole new journey begins...together.
Congratulations! ^.^ I know you'll love it.
(Oh, I didn't understand the "yes" until I went back to your Oct post. So wonderful, so poetic!)
Shauna,
This is so beautiful... I am outrageously happy--and verging on giddy--for you!

Congratulations You Darlings! Your Love is Spilling all over Seattle *wink*...and we like it...a lot!
Just wanted to add my best wishes, you will have a wonderful day and I look forward to reading about it when the time comes.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
That is the only prayer I know.
We both feel so thrilled that we can share this with everyone we love. Truly, this space feels like our community as well. We read your comments and smile at your good wishes. If we could invite everyone to the wedding, we would!

The conversation and community is the best part of being here. Id love to hear what you have to say.
Let the conversation be spirited and full of questions. However, any nasty comments with a personal attack, or scurrilous ones with no intention but to hurt? They]re not getting published.
This is why I am no longer accepting anonymous comments. Too many insulting comments come through those.
This space is like my kitchen, and Im inviting you in. If you would feel comfortable pointing your finger at me and shouting during a party in my kitchen, well, I'd ask you to leave. And then the rest of us would clear the air and go back to talking and laughing. The same is true here.
Now. Enough of that. Let's talk.
