Single no more.

Before I write a post about the end of 2010, the things I did and didn't do this year, and the things I want to do in 2011, I'm going to share some photos of Marieke and Curt's wedding. These photos will remind me of what's good in the world. Friends, family, love, and hope. These things are important to have in one's life each and every year, and are important to remember and experience not just at weddings or at times of New Year's resolutions, but always. Thanks for the reminder of this, Marieke and Curt! Your wedding was a great event - beautiful, meaningful, full of each of your personalities, and full of fun. A great time and a perfect way to bring you into this next phase of life. Thanks for having us there! Now for the photos.

The ceremony was great - the perfect amount of God/spirituality and humor. I shed a tear (I always shed a tear at weddings), but it was hard not to when you could see how happy the bride and groom were to be getting married. Here's Marieke getting her ring from Curt:

Here's a shot of the table centerpieces (the red and cream made for classy decor!):

And now let's move on to the dancing. There was dancing thanks to Doug, the wedding DJ. He did a great job. Perhaps a side career?

The bride sure knew how to get down - here she shows off her moves:

At first Curt was not really present on the dance floor, but Sarah got him out there:

And then, once he was out there, Marieke got him to stay:

Perhaps a metaphor for their relationship? Once Marieke got Curt hooked, there was no looking back. Good-bye single life, hello married life. Trust me - you didn't make a bad choice!
