    The two of you look so lovely and happy! Congratulations and may you spend many happy days together.
    Were these particular pics of the Vancouver part of the wedding ceremony? If so, it makes my heart swell to be Canadian and that, at the moment, such a thing is legal in Canada. Let’s hope that the current conservative prime minister does not have his way in destroying such a special thing.
    Heartfelt congratulations to the two of you!
    Happy honeymooning, Gale

    I am a long time lurker ever since I knit your hot water bottle cozy (in Malabrigo, ooh perfect) — and feel a bit shy about this — but your gorgeous wedding and the lovely photos and that dress and the lipstick (love the lovely Mac) and you both and everything — I just wanted to wish you both much happiness and much yarn and many more such beautiful days. Your stories have made more than one of my days.
