People talk about how your wedding day is the best day of your life, and if it weren't for the built up exhaustion and stress, worrying about the order of the day, and trying to somehow talk to all of your favorite people plus a lot of adults you've never actually met before at the same time, it would totally be true. The one that is actually, completely true is how everything distills into small moments. The oddest combinations of people in my childhood home. Waiting to walk down the aisle with my parents and my mom immediately bursting into tears when the processional music started, and me immediately, reactively, following suit. Waiting outside with our officient, watching the sun set, before being announced. Choking up during my dad's toast. Mostly holding it together during allchildren's toast. Introducing all the people I have wanted to introduce for years in many unsubtle ways ("HI NOW YOU'VE MET BE BEST FRIENDS OKAY BYE"). Running after the photographer to get an All Nerd picture. Hugging everyone so many times because I was so unbelievably, uncontainably happy and grateful.

That feeling doesn't quite go away, and I was possibly overly grateful and enthusiastic with many people for several days. "Oh, this soda! Thank you so much, this means so much to me!" "Please let go of my hand." But I am, still, so grateful for everything, that so many people traveled so far, for all of the beautiful, hilarious cards and speeches, for so much love and wonderful big and silly and quiet moments that if I had year I couldn't process all of it.

Dear the universe, with sincerest thanks for everything, love MC Cullen and Fancyman.
