Love, love, and more love. 💜

You achieved exactly what you intended. Everything about your wedding was wonderful and it was exactly the right mix of organized and relaxed. It was ADHD-friendly in that my daughter and I were 30 minutes late but got there in time for most of the ceremony. lol

You and Gabriel were gorgeous. The setting, the decorations and the other guests were a feast for my eyes. All of the food was delicious, the toasts were all sweet and/or funny, the music was great, he dancing was fun. Even the weather was perfect. I haven't had such a good time at a wedding since my own! We were sorry to have to leave earlier than we planned, but a health issue arose. Hope your honeymoon trip goes as well as your wedding did, and that you both get to just relax and be awesome together!

I will read every word you write about your wedding. I've never been married and my partner and I have been happily unmarried for nearly 31 years, but I love weddings and this one seems like the best ever so please just write away!

I would really love to hear some sample lyrics from a blues song about wearing a retainer. Sounds like a talented kid.

Congratulations to the whole family!
