This weekend Rob and I were in Berkeley for the wedding of our dear friends Brooke and Krista. The ceremony was in their backyard and was lovely and very memorable--they were married by the community of 40 friends and family. Krista's mom read a poem by Oriah Mountain Dreamer, which you can see here. I think one of my favorite things about it was that her mom was really not very into Oriah's name, and told Krista that if she had to say who the poem was written by, she was going to say it was a poem by "Oriah M. Dreamer", presumably to make it sound less, um, insanely hippie-ish. But the poem and her reading were quite perfect. She did not say the author's name at all.
Krista and Brooke looked like tall, elegant princesses. [I'm sorry, but really, what kind of blog post would it be if I didn't insert my height insecurities?] I will post more pics as soon as possible, but for now, I just wanted to post a big congratulations to my beautiful friends. And I wanted you to see the cake, which was a lemon affair with fresh raspberries and blackberries.

Congratulations Krista and Brooke!
Man I want some of that cake right now.
Thanks Sarah. It was a perfect day. I'm a little bit sad it's over. (What an attention hog I must be.) And that cake WAS amazing, courtesy of the lovely Michael Baum. So glad you both were there. Big hugs. xoxo
Thanks, Sarah. This is so sweet. It was a perfect day and I did feel like a tall princess. :)
We love you! Can't wait to see your new place.
