“Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.”
~ Victor Hugo
I’ve been to a lot of weddings over the years and the ones I enjoy most are those that are extremely personal. Greg and Vanessa’s ceremony was just such an event. From the welcome sign to the table settings, they poured themselves into every tiny detail. The dishes were bought at Habitat ReStore. Annie Bassoni made their guestbook. Some of their flowers were bought fresh at the farmers market; the table arrangements centered around cabbages and brussels sprouts. The burlap napkins, no doubt made from recycled fabrics, were adorned with tiny woodland creatures. Even the silverware was made of wood; biodegradable and healthy for human and environment alike. Vanessa made some of the food – absolutely delicious, of course. She made jams, jellies, and mustard for guests to take home in small, perfect jars. I had the blueberry basil for breakfast. Exquisite. Everything about this exchange of love was deliberate. Ideal. As it should be.
