So there we were at Panera Bread. Rick and Esther were telling me what they had planned for their wedding. I’ve known both of them for a few years, and I was struck by how them<\/em> their wedding sounded.<\/p>\n

When the big day actually came, it captured their approachability, joy, and genuineness even more than I imagined. I would like to think that if we had gotten married outside, we would have thought of croquet and badminton, but I know we wouldn’t have come up with horseshoes and kites. It was so fun!<\/p>\n

Okay, so it was a little hot that day. But we resuscitated all of the wedding party before the reception… no problem.
