Happily Ever After: The Schamble Edition

On August 20th, 2011, Jen & Brendan got married and I was blessed and honored to be her MOH.  Jen & I have been best friends for 17 years and thus I'd been looking forward to this day for... well, 17 years.  I would love to pepper this post with funny anecdotes and sarcastic comments but the truth of the matter is that it was absolutely gorgeous and the fairy tale that she deserved.

Because I know that my writing could never truly do it justice, I'll let the pictures do the talking.  Congratulations to Jen & Brendan - I look forward to a lifetime of shopping while the boys watch football, road trips, terrible bar games and witnessing Brendan being scared of anything that flies.  I adore you both!

If the look on my face doesn't prove to you I shouldn't be given a mic... I don't know what does.
