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.
Congratulations! JJ looks stunning, so do you and so does Jack.
This warms my cold, cynical heart. 🙂

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.
