Reboot!

Hi everyone,

I’m rebooting Matthew and Molly dot com!  How excited are you?

This space was created as a place for stories, information, and updates about our wedding. But the wedding is a year since, and our life together rolls on.  There are new stories, information, and updates!  Some people might actually be interested in them!

So here we are.  The Brand New Matthew and Molly dot com.  I hope you like it.

I’m hoping to go back in time a bit and put posts up about our adventures in the past year, so that’ll be fun.

Also, all the content from the wedding is still available.  Just see the menu.

One Month Married

Hello Loves!

We’ve been married for one month as of today, and we are so happy.

It was wonderful to stand there together, in front of all of you (in the chilly drizzle) and promise to love one another no matter what.  And it was wonderful to go inside the warm Armory and see people we cared about literally everywhere we looked!  We’re sorry we didn’t get a chance to really talk to anyone – we’re pretty sure that we didn’t even say “hi” to some of you, sorry about that.  Know that we are so glad that you were all there!

One of the things we had hoped to do that evening, but didn’t make the time for, is to give a toast to make some special thank yous.  Here it is in no particular order:

  • Thank you, Ned, for marrying us.  You pretty much came up with that entire ceremony on your own, and you did a really phenomenal job.  We loved it!
  • Thank you, Karen, for our beautiful and delicious cake!  It was perfection.
  • Thank you, Annie, for the gorgeous flowers!  I didn’t get to really take in how perfect and beautiful they were until I got home the next day and saw my bouquet.  Wow!
  • Thank you, Rachel N. and Stuart, for being our awesome Maid of Honor and Best Man.  We love you.
  • Thank you, Rachel S. for being the honorary Maid of Honor and such a tremendous help!
  • Thank you, Ashley S. for the makeup help and the hair referral!
  • Thank you, Groomsman, for decorating the Airstream.
  • Thank you, Bridesmaids, for helping get ready and set up.
  • Thank you, Jaime Haber, for playing during the ceremony.
  • Thank you, Jaime Hamlin, for helping us coordinate and for lending your elegant touch to the event.  Seriously, it was a dream of mine that you’d be a part of my wedding, and I’m glad we found a way to make that happen.
  • Thank you, Meryl, for doing your thing.  You had already done so much to help, but when I called you to ask a question about our altar you just took on the project and I just let you.  That was awesome!
  • Thank you, RTQ and Emma, for providing the amazing music.  I’d been dreaming of hearing you preform together, and it was more than we’d imagined!
  • Thank you to everyone who traveled from afar, including the following people who got on a plane to come:  Lisa & Syd (Illinois), Zach & Lisa (California), Rollie & Grandma Rita (Texas), Caroline & Kiyoshi (California), Ashley & Hal (Minnesota), Alison & James (Utah), Seth & Christine & Chloe (California), Kevin & Amy & Maggie & Lilly (California), Dana (California), Rachel N (Oregon), Betsy & Marc (Texas), Gary & Julie (Washington), Aurora (California), Brucie & Linda (Florida), and Helga & Myrthe (Holland!!)
  • Thank you to Michelle and Thomas for the tremendously beautiful pictures!
  • Thank you, Quita, Bill, Peter, Elaine, Rollie, and Sherry.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude.  Please expect effusive thank you notes at some point in the not-too-distant future.

Oh, and pictures! Do you have some? Please send them along! Also, let us know if we can share them with everyone else on the Wedding Photos page.  We love looking at them – what a fun night!
