cuddlyeconomist and I had a great wedding at The Salish Lodge, and the hard work for the event paid off with a short & sweet little ceremony, excellent food, fun music, tasty Mike's Amazing Cakes (one fully sculptural; the other decorated with DrB's handmade royal icing flowers), cool games, and a wonderful assortment of our friends and family. We are both very much looking forward to part 2 down at TRF in October to see the rest of our Texas people who weren't able to join us. Even as it was, the venue forced us to keep the guest list a bit tight, so if you weren't there know that we were thinking of all of you.
We got many compliments on various aspects of the evening, and the Salish staff did an awesome job all day. Special thanks to the bellman, Kevin, who shuffled much of the wedding materials and mediated between the various hotel rooms involved in the preparations.
It was also great to have an event that mostly ran on auto-pilot with some great help from DrB's mom, a family friend Carol, and our friend Denise plus assists fromgreeneyedkitty, loree, and tithonium. We had thrown family dinner parties Thursday and Friday nights so I had my fill of cooking and cleaning for the week.
Rhys had a great time, and he did great with a room full of adults many of whom he didn't know all that well. He even took a bath without too much fuss--the fact that the Salish has awesome spa tubs helped. Saturday night he stayed in our room and frankly everyone was wiped so we slept well. Tonight we have the room to just the two of us so we'll get some quality time in with the tub and the fireplace ourselves.
