She had trusted the florist to make the bouquet after seeing the dress (which is supposed to be wrinkled-looking and crinkly), and she couldn't have been happier with it. She said she felt self-conscious about carrying a "bouquet" but when she saw this one, it made her feel good. The whole thing was exactly what they wanted, and even the few glitches, which are inevitable, were minor. I think the sign they were looking for was that they didn't want to leave at 10:00- or 10:30, and obviously neither did most of the guests. If the band had stayed, we might still be there.
I'm physically and mentally wiped out today, but I'll gradually get this wonderful week recorded, starting with my moving to my home-away-from-home last Monday. I do have some pictures of that for another day. One of the best things about the week was having Ryan's family staying at the same place and sitting out in the courtyard in the early morning and by the pool at night getting to know each other better and watching all the children swim. Now I have to work, seriously work, since weddings are not free.
