Super congrats to Hannah Elvrum and Barry Miller for getting hitched. The ceremony/reception was one of the very best that I’ve ever gone to. And I’m clocking in at 60+ weddings over the past 4 years or so. It helps that the Elvrums have a flat-out wonderful piece of property to hold an event like this. Quite frankly, that has much more to do with the hard work Janet and Flip (Filip?, I don’t think I’ve ever written his nickname before…) have put in over the years. They have made their home one of the most friendly and welcoming places I have had the pleasure of spending time. Every time I turn the corner into their driveway, I think to myself “You know, I’m REALLY glad to be here.” Stacey and I will consider ourselves amazingly lucky if we can ever create a space with the same warm feel to it.

Hannah and Barry (and all the family members and friends) did a great job putting everything together. The event was very classy, yet low key and unstressful. You were welcome in a suit and you were welcome in flip-flops. Nicole and Maggie from Adrift provided a great meal, Tim Moffet handled creation of the “signature cocktail” mojitos all night, and HB wisely followed our lead for starting a successful marriage and had Spoonshine providing the dance grooves. There are a lot of couples who spend tens of thousands of dollars (even hundreds of thousands of dollars) more and can’t even come close to creating something as special as Hannah and Barry did.

Well done you two. All the best from us.
