Married.

We started off our wedding day with a drive to Brenham. On the way, we stopped for a tasty breakfast at Chappell Hill Cafe. It's about half way between Houston and Austin. We both got properly caffeinated and full bellies for less than $12. The sign looked really cool by these clouds.

I got my hair done at a day spa in Brenham by a race car driver named Lindsey. She was a trip. Clay came along, and the spa people gave him some beer while he waited. (This is our kind of day spa.) After an hour, an entire pack of bobby pins, and a half a can of hair spray, we were set to move on to the B&B.

Clay and I stated simple vows in front of a rustic shed at Murski Homestead Bed and Breakfast at 2:00 PM on February 29, 2012. While witnesses in Texas aren't mandatory, our wedding was attended by Pamela, the owner of the B&B and Zach, our photographer. Steve, another B&B owner, officiated the ceremony. After the ceremony, we walked the grounds for a bit, avoiding cow pies when possible. We didn't take too many photos of our own, since Zach's a professional and all. We did ask him to take one with my phone so you could see us now.

We did have a champagne toast and a wedding (cheese)cake that was honestly the finest cheesecake that I've ever had. She put our tiny wooden us (see previous blog) on top of it. We had a wonderful dinner of brisket, ribs, beans, mac & cheese, and cole slaw. And more wine and champagne. We were both incredibly calm all day. And happy.

It was an absolutely perfect day. We promise to follow up with more pictures in the next few weeks. Thank you to our families and friends for letting us run off and do this. We love you.
