Probably because I’m not terribly sharp and actually know diddly about engineering, when I heard Charlotte + Thomas were both engineers, I shuddered at the possibilities of a wedding planned with spreadsheets, slide rule and cold, precise calculation. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about weddings is that they don’t want to be planned too much. A wedding day is a force of nature with its own Dali-esque clock and a sick sense of humor with Murphy’s Law as the punchline.
I couldn’t have been more (happily) wrong. Our handsome duo’s low-key, DIY vibe kept drama on the sideline. Built on a foundation of backyard ceremony, BBQ and beer, the wedding gods surrendered and let love set its own schedule.

great pic and CONGRATULATION TO MY NIECE AND JEN
One might look at these photos and say, “Hey, isn’t that the governor’s son getting married? If so, where the heck are the pix of the groom’s father and our state’s glorious leader shimmying the night away?” Pertinent question and I wish I could show you some. Let’s just say that when I ran into the DJ the next day and he regaled me with tales of Gov. Branstad putting on a polka clinic after I left the reception, I was crushed. Conspiracy? Coverup? Who knows? If I had any inkling that the governor was going to trip the light fantastic that evening, I would have staged my own Occupy Terrace Hill to bring it to you. Alas…

[...] feed that my wedding photographer, Mark Kegans, had posted his fave pics from our wedding on his phlog (get it, photo blog). I could look at these photos [...]
Mark, I can’t begin to thank you enough. Still one more sister left to go, and I’m sure my dad will be in rare form for that one as well. It was a perfect day and you captured every moment.
