Hitched!

I’ve mentioned the epic awesomeness of my best friend Quinn on a number of occasions. She’s everything you could ever want in a best friend, and more - kind, brilliant, thoughtful and hilarious. Plus, she genuinely appreciates the knitting in a way that’s really rare for a non-knitter.

Given her many exceptional qualities, it takes an exceptionally great guy to meet the good-enough-to-date-my-BFF standard.

Luckily, she has just such a guy. He’s good and kind and makes her laugh. They’ve made a really lovely life together over the last several years. And this past weekend, they made it all official: my darling BFF eloped with this wonderful guy and got herself married.

He’s everything I could want for her, and I know they’ll be brilliantly happy together.

So, congratulations again, pumpkin!

You did good. Really, really good.

Congrats Quinn! I can't imagine a man good enough to have gotten a spectacular lady like yourself. :) I look forward to getting to meet him soon! Hope the honeymoon is lots of fun and you spend plenty of time, umm, off your feet.....

Quinn, I don't know you at all, but if you're Ariel's best friend you've got to be pretty damn awesome. Congratulations, and I like your style! :)

Hurray!!! I love fairy tales with happy endings. :) The princess should always end up with her prince. Congrats to them both!

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. And especially to Ariel for being the best BFF a gal could ever have, and for spending a million or so hours on the phone with me talking about me, and about me and him, and about him, and what it all means. If I didn't have you to straighten me out, who knows what bonkers decisions I would have made over the years. Behind every happy marriage there must be a crackerjack best friend with a huge phone bill. That's you, kiddo.
