Mellow Yellow

This past weekend was anything but mellow, and everything about fun. Michael and Katherine (also known as Mikey and Kat) got hitched at Wye River on a beautiful golden afternoon surrounded by great family and fun friends. I was so happy to have been invited and to share in their day.


The whole weekend was spent outside. We sat out on the back porch having drinks, enjoyed the reception on a huge deck above the river, had a fun hash with a beer check by the river, and ate crabs and shrimp out on the Bay. There were many bird sightings along the way, including multiple osprey nests and osprey in action. 

Then there was the wedding itself - intimate and sweet. There were many touching notes, from the minister who spoke personally to the couple to a lovely reading by Abigail Adams read by my friend Melissa.  A very moving moment for me was when Kat's dad gave her away. When asked who was giving Katherine to be married, her father said, "Her father does ... with great pride."

Everywhere you looked there were touches of the couple. Photos from their childhood lined the path to the reception and instead of traditional table numbers, they used bib numbers from their past races.  The accent color throughout was yellow - bright and cheery, hopeful. Here's what I brought home from the wedding to remind me of the great time and the great couple.

Thanks, Kat and Mikey for a bright, beautiful, wonderful time, and many, many years of happiness to both of you.
