Ben and me (with swollen face) after a night in the ER.  Yay for allergic reactions!!!  The really funny part is that the wedding was so amazing that even a night in the ER didn't put me in a bad mood.  (A big thank you to my face which decided to wait to swell too much until after the reception.)

Although we were exhausted, we stayed at our venue until our last guests were leaving, so we could have some nice, relaxing fun time with friends.  Ben remembered that he had the kite we had gotten off our registry in his bag and we went out and flew it (in a field that had very very little wind).  It was lovely!

OMG!! How awful!! What did it turn out you were allergic to?

the doctor in the ER couldn't really narrow it down, because in addition to antibiotics, there were a bunch of other unusual things - new sheets, soap, foods, room of 600 roses...
but the doctor who prescribed the antibiotics felt pretty certain that they must have been the culprit. anyway, prednisone, benadryl, and pepcid (which apparently blocks itchiness) will hopefully get me back to normal in a few days...
we were just bummed that we missed most of the campfire...
