i've always done things differently. choosing holiday card colors is no exception.

all growed up: my brother's wedding

aren't we cute? i think this is from 1979.
flash forward, er um, back? to 2004, when i was a redhead.


i was the "best man" in my brother's wedding.

i shouldn't have to tell you this was a big deal for me, but i just did.

my sister-in-law enlisted me to help with the invites, programs, table names, CD favors, and the drink menu.

my family will never let me live down how tipsy i got at the reception.
but...nobody will ever forget my "best-'best-man'-ever" toast (or the inside-joke-plastic cups)!
not a dry eye in the room.

cheers!
