You should go vote for my colleague and friend Erin Dawson Linn & her spouse Alder Linn in the America’s Favorite Couple contest. These two’s wedding was probably the most beautiful I’ve ever been to and left me in happy tears and feeling grateful for all the love in my life. I still have the little bottle of olive oil with a heart charm that they gave out as favors on display in my living room. These are two kind, loving people and it would make me so happy to see them win this contest and have more amazing adventures together!
