My sister's wedding was incredible! I want it to happen annually! If you have no interest in my sister or her wedding, make sure to at least scroll down to the picture of my dad in his Elvis costume.

Trevor Johnson Photography has generously allowed me to share some of the photos from my sister's wedding. Trevor is a lovely friend of Kate's who lives in Wisconsin. He has offered a 10% discount to anyone who mentions eyes of my eyes when booking him for a future job. So all of you Midwest families out there, check out his
work. Trevor was one of those great photographers who you don't even notice are present. Thanks Trevor. Oh, and I'm so glad all of your cameras survived, I thought the beauty of my sister might cause them to spontaneously combust.

| Meazi and her cousins, Betsy and Abby. Flower Girls Extraordinaire. |
 |
| Sigh. |
 |
| Don't hate her because she's perfect. |
 |
| Did I mention Kate is a choreographer? |
 |
| The ceremony was on the roof of Madison's modern art museum. |
 |
| Modern art. |

| Remind me later to tell you why Kate chose green... |

| Available, one Nordstrom's flower girl dress worn once. 6x, already too small for Ms. Meazi. Will trade for Grenache Blanc, Dalwhinne, or Chocolate of any kind, or size 7 girl's clothes. |

| My brother Bubs looking dapper, with Bets. |
 |
| Can I get a witness? |

| LA's newest power couple- Best man Greg, and his beautiful wife Claire. I keep checking Greg's website to see if he has posted his charming and eloquent best man speech, and I keep checking Claire's to see if her book is out yet. Still waiting... |
 |
| Uhm, why my sister chose GREEN! |
 |
| Again, please don't hate her for her charming form and her giant brain. |
|

 |
| One of my dates- the shorter one. |
 |
| The reception was at the Orpheum Theatre. Kate had two poets open the evening reciting a love poem to each other from the Romeo and Juliet balconies (not shown). |
 |
| I said a few words. |
 |
| It was impossible for me to describe what it means to have Kate as my sister. |
 |
| They chose one of my absolute favorite Talking Heads' songs for their first dance- This must be the Place. |
 |
| My Father. |
 |
| My Father- after a couple of cocktails. (Some people garden, play chess, he dresses like the king and performs). |
 |
| It is a freaking miracle she didn't fall over this balcony. | | | | |

It was a truly spectacular evening. I love my new brother Tarek so much. I didn't post a lot of pictures of his absolutely lovely family because, well, I'm not sure how they feel about blogs. Perhaps they enjoy privacy like some husbands I know.
I truly underestimated how moving an experience this would be, watching Katie tie the knot. She looked at Tarek in a way I'd never seen her look before. It was a thing of beauty.
