I was behind in nearly everything I needed to do for the day, and Starr of course was in charge of a million things. Had it not been for kind, generous folks who pitched in, this would never ever have happened. But it did indeed, and we have proof:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/mikailborg\/pic\/0000wqz8\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/mikailborg\/pic\/0000wqz8\/s320x240\" alt=\"Our wedding reception, with ears\" height=\"320\" width=\"240\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here we see a mind-bendingly stunning bride, standing next to her doofus groom. Of course, we see Starr in fashionable cat ears in nearly every published picture, and this is no exception: Owen presented them to the two of us at the end of the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>I especially want to thank <a href=\"http:\/\/sir_alf.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">sir_alf<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/faekitty.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">faekitty<\/a> here: with practically no notice at all, they volunteered to pick up my mom from Roanoke, bring her to the ceremony, and give her a ride back. As well, they helped her with many things during the weekend that I hadn&#8217;t even put in the job description: they were two of many that went over and above the call. I cannot thank you both enough, nor tell you how much that meant to both my mother and I.<\/p>\n<p>I have awesome (and work-safe!) stories to tell from the honeymoon, but those will need to wait until I can sit and cull the photos.
