I just got even luckier.

Posted on by dannygregory

On Tuesday, the 88th* day of the year, my best friend and love and the prettiest and most brilliant woman in the world, Jennifer James — became my wife.

When I proposed, JJ said she wanted to get married on some random Tuesday in the spring and to take the subway to City Hall and have a sundae. So we did.

Jack, my best man, was the only non-stranger and non-clerk in attendance. Then we went to our favorite restaurant, had lunch, and got drunk with thirty of our favorite people. What a perfect, perfect day.

In case you missed it, here’re some pages from the wedding album:

*Well, 89th actually, ’cause its a leap year. But it’ll make it easier to remember this unforgettable day.

  72. I’m sitting here with a big, goofy smile as I look at your wedding photos — so romantic, meaningful and lovely. Count me among the many who haven’t met you in person but feel like you’re part of my tribe. I’m so very happy for you.

  74. Sounds and looked absolutely amazing!- just love that ‘some random Tuesday’ sentiment!- Many congratulations to you both and thanks for all the art!

  76. Danny, We’ve never met, or even spoken; maybe we will one day. But you changed my world through your books and Sketchbook Skool, found me my spiritual home and my peeps, and you feel like family. So I shed a few happy tears looking at your wedding day photos ( as family do), and wish you and Jenny a long life brimming with happiness and fun and joy (and art of course) (and dogs) (and sundaes!). xxxx

  81. A toast from the west coast to loving kindness and belly laughs throughout your days together. Congratulations! You deserve all the joy as you give so much to others.

  84. In the words of Mr. Billy Idol, What a nice day for a white wedding. NYC style. Good health and happiness to both of you.

  86. WONDERFUL!! Congratulations to you both, & the best of everything in years to come. xx

  88. Congrats! Happy for you both! Sounds like the perfect wedding. Cool to see Tommy Kane there too. Best wishes for a wonderful life together.

  92. Much deserved happiness to you both – My husband and I had a similar low-key wedding many years ago in Washington, DC at the courthouse. So I feel a kinship with your new bride’s sense of things. Cheers!

  93. Amazing. And perfect indeed. The Dude and I got married similarly: official wedding photo by the hot dog stand, Carvel wedding cake. And we just celebrated our 32nd anniversary. Guess this stuff works! (Oh, almost forgot: congratulations!!!)

  95. Congratulations, Danny !!Thank you so much for posting photos. I am so happy for your happiness. Congratulations, Jennifer! What a fun & original way to celebrate exactly as you wanted. You guys rock.
