"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

PJr and Nedda got married!

The entire wedding experience was delightful.

I'm going to post some more thoughts (and photos) on this shortly. 

In the meantime, a photo.  The constituent shots were taken by Charlie on Sunday morning in the Marriott lobby as we were getting ready to check out of the hotel.  The right half of this was one of my very favorite photos of the entire weekend.  (The left half . . . sort of . . . complements the right half . . . sort of.)
