Alex's brother Ben married Kim this weekend. It was a happy handmade affair featuring:
home-brewed beer by Alex,
a home-sewn flower girl dress for Lil by Grandma Cindy (Thanks Mom!!),
home-cooked food by Kim's brother-in-law and a Taysetee cake by my sister Heather,
origami flowers folded by the bride and groom for centerpieces and bouquets,
and, the piece de resistance, one thousand gently folded paper cranes arranged as a background for the ceremony.
Ben and Kim, congratulations! May your marriage reflect the patience, love, and beauty of your handmade wedding details.
