Message from Doug:
The big day has come and gone, and it was great thanks to all the great friends who showed up and give us well wishin’. To all: Thank you for helping make what was definitively the best day of my life thus far. Sniff.

A special thanks to Giahn Carlson, who interpreted my weird musical instructions, helped me with a last-minute wine-run, and just generally hung around to make sure I didn’t pass out or anything.

Check in on Tessa’s Flickr account later this week to see some of the Official Photos, but in the meantime, Aly did a fantastic job (and got some incredible macro shots of the location). I am supremely envious of her skillz.

To recap: Thanks again friends and favored ones, and we’ll see you in a week or so!

From Mele:
After months of hard work and effort, our big day came off a huge success! We could not have asked for a more perfect day, it was really wonderful. As Doug says, it could not have been done without the help of our great friends and family. Special mention goes to my Maid of Honor, Lindsay, who was so amazing and helped out with so much…from wardrobe consultation to transporting our photographer in her time of need! We’ve got a few hours before our flight leaves, so we’re dealing with all the pre-trip loose ends. Keep us in your thoughts when we are abroad!
