The wedding and afterparty

were great.

Friday: a lovely ceremony, I read my piece, family and friends and a thrill when the minister (named, fittingly enough, the Rev. Jenny Justice) said, “By the authority vested in me…” and Dan and Mike got to kiss as a legally married couple.

Then, we decorated an Old Town Trolley with a “Just Married” rainbow flag and balloons to take the guests on a wild ride to the reception — folks were honking and screaming and applauding as we drove by. We even went by the State House to see if the governor was in so we could wave hi….but no dice.

On to the reception: at the amazing Radius restaurant, a full vegetarian banquet of English pea soup, asparagus with morels and truffle vinaigrette, hand rolled potato gnocchi with spring veggie ragout, roasted cauliflower, and a dessert of the best chocolate dishes ever — a chef’s sampling. Oh, jeez, was it amazing. That and the pinot noir flowing all night….

The next day — shoot home, do some errands, then back for the big party — huge quantities of Vietnamese food and good talk with friends we didn’t see the night before.

Today was recovery, as you can imagine.

See you soon…
