and the winner is...

the Metropolitan Club!

yes, after all our searching, we opted to have our wedding at the Metropolitan Club. we just could not get past its architectural elegance and grand scale.

the winner is also ME, since for Valentine's Day Thurston gave me a limited edition, leatherbound book about said Club:

number 82 in a printing of 2,000!

wow, this was a thoughtful and amazing gift. especially in light of the fact that we don't officially "do" gifts on V-day. oh, that Thurston, he's a keeper...


that's my autographed copy, Kenny!

T also sent me pretty flowers because, despite his not being down with flowers ("they die!"), he knows that girls (often) like them, imminent death notwithstanding.


to his dismay though, i was not at work on Valentine's Day, foiling his plans to send the flowers there. (due to the blizzard, a wedding we had planned to attend on Sunday night was postponed* to Monday night. thus, i took Tuesday as vaca-- a girl needs to recuperate, after all!) but they were just as lovely in my own home and i adore them. (him, more so!)
