Thanks to Ami LeBlanc for sending me this gorgeous photo set of Lucid & Eenor's wedding in the Bay Area. Everything looks amazing, from the bride and groom's stunning outfits, to the flower girl, to the tantalizing buffet. And tellingly, it looks like the guests were loving it.

Somehow, that's always the cherry on top for me: sure the bride and groom will look lovely in their wedding photos. They've had a lot of time to prep and look their best. But do the guests look happy? Does there seem to be a genuine sense of joy in the air? To sound like the old raver I am, does the wedding have a good vibe? That's the sign of a true offbeat wedding. Yay for Lucid and Eenor!
