Just for the record, you’ll probably never see this many photos of me in one post!  But I wanted to share a few of my favorites as well as ones in which you can see my dress (which is important, right?)  And, of course, the elusive husband makes his debut.

Chloe Aftel is the photographer and she did a wonderful job, as you will see; I was so excited when she agreed to take them and I feel lucky to have such lovely wedding photos.   (Sorry if these photos are huge for those of you with a slower connection or monitor resolution!)

I’m so glad that we went with a small (tiny) wedding.  All things considered, everyone was relaxed (Yes, including me for the most part!).  It felt really intimate and special even though this all took place at a public park, Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills.  Like Chloe said, it’s like Alice in Wonderland there! And without further ado…

Macaroons (including rose, my favorite) from a local French patisserie displayed on my grandparent’s wedding china and some vintage napkins:

In the living room before the ceremony:

The men:

The women:

The rest:

Edited to note: Oh, I amost forgot to mention that the six of us went to dinner immediately afterwards, back at Osteria Mozza (the place of the proposal!).  It was delicious - best. wedding. food. ever.
