With an army, you can do anything!

It's official!  We're married.  By now, the Boone County Recorder has the marriage license and we are on record as tying the knot :-)  Before I add a post related to the fun part of the wedding or the honeymoon,  I want to send a shout out to all of the people who helped along the way.   Thank you to every last person who helped brainstorm, prepare, enact and clean up the best party we've ever thrown.  We love you all very much.
