"...it takes four men to make a salad; a madman, a scholar, a miser,
and a spendthrift."  "Meaning what, exactly?" James asked, mystified.
"Meaning that you need a madman to mix it-so," she said, shaking 
the ingredients vigorously together with her finger.  "But a scholar
to measure out the salt-one pinch.  Then you need a miser for the
vinegar."  She added a few tiny drops of vinegar. "But with the oil,
you want a spendthrift, because of course you cannot be to generous with good oil."

It truly takes a village to pull off a wedding!! And no ones needs to tell a bride and groom how much stress is involved in planning and pulling off a wedding. Im just here to say...it CANT BE DONE WITHOUT FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!! It just can't.   Unless of course money is not an issue. But its all the more meaningful when family and friends combine forces and do all in their power to pull off a dream wedding. Here below we have a little documentation of all the effort that went in to Brian and Mericar's wedding...and of course we didnt capture all the behind the scene work.  This is just the day of the reception/ring ceremony.  And this post is just about the prep work...stay tuned for the party and ceremony.
