There's something to say about smaller weddings...that I love them. I love the intimacy of just having close friends and family, the ease of not feeling overwhelmed to meet and greet a ton of people, and to really enjoy the day for what it is, a celebration of your love for one another. Katja said she knew she wanted to meet me when she read that my bio was full of foodie facts and of course when I heard that, I loved her even more! Katja & Kirby had a lovely outdoor ceremony, followed by a romantically delicious dinner at Wine Vault in Little Italy. Did I mention I got to have the incredible 5-course dinner as well ;-)
