This weekend I attended the wedding of one of my closest friends (and room-mate) from college, Elise, and her high school sweetheart, Scott. The ceremony was simple, elegant, and personal. They were married by Elise's aunt on a bluff overlooking the beautiful Massachusetts countryside. Her brother and uncle played "forever young" and our close friend Christine read the Irish blessing. My favorite part... Scott took Elise's last name!

Dinner was a delicious organic vegetarian meal including Swiss chard that Scott and Elise had grown themselves! And of course, we all danced until we dropped--the DJ was instructed to play the couple's favorite genre, 90's pop.

I'm a sucker for planning parties, but weddings have all these other factors involved that could be totally overwhleming (family, perhaps a spiritual or religious component, ETERNAL VOWS). Elise and Scott balanced all of these so beautifully, and their special day was absolutely stunning.
