If You Will Dare, I Will Dare

Yep, while I was busy not blogging I was back home marrying my best friend. The weekend couldn’t have been more perfect, my mister and I exchanged the vows that we slowly pieced together over the week leading up to the big day while surrounded (both literally and in spirit) by the friends and family that make up the community we so cherish. The amazing group of people who traveled from all over the world to join us in the back woods of Wisconsin for a weekend of whiffle ball, brats, late night swims, brats, cornhole, brats, dancing, brats, beirut, brats and relaxing represented the many groups of people Ry and I have been blessed to have gathered along the way – both as individuals and as a pair. They are the people who have been with us through thick and thin; the ones who stood by us through our awkward teen age phases, cheered us up after break ups, challenged us to epic game nights, joined us for “family dinners”, supported us during my Ernesto experience, waited on line with us to get in to the shows we absolutely couldn’t miss and have given us great advice and even greater memories. Our wedding weekend was as much a celebration of the official union of this community as it was the official union of us – and we wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Now that I’m settling into my role as a wife and a normal non-DIY wedding crazed bride we’re slowly making our way through our thank you notes and I have time to turn my focus back to sharing my kitchen and concert adventures. First up my snickerdoodle recipe which I’ll post on Saturday but for now I’ll leave you with our vows since we’ve had a few requests for them …

Hers:
I will do my best to be patient and understanding
I will always share my feelings and thoughts with you
I promise to balance your seriousness with my silly
And continue to be your co-pilot, alarm clock and best friend
I look forward to making this marriage our greatest adventure
If you will dare, I will dare

His:

I will do my best to be patient and understanding
I will always share my feelings and thoughts with you
I promise to balance your randomness with my logic,
And continue to be your sous-chef, navigator and best friend
I look forward to making this marriage our greatest adventure
If you will dare, I will dare
