This past week {{< tess >}} and I traveled to Chicago to attend the wedding of
Bill, one of my oldest friends, and his partner Ashley. They've been a couple
for a long time. I'm thrilled that they've decided to take this step together,
and grateful to have been invited to witness it. Bill also asked my dad to
perform the ceremony, and I think he did an excellent job.

particularly proud of my Diamond Ring image (above) with the additional drama
the clouds brought to an already stunning event.
I'm also grateful to Breanna for hosting me. We had a great time visiting, and I
enjoyed getting to explore Austin with her.
Apart from the eclipse, I got to see Breanna do a book event in Bee Cave, TX.
This town is adorable and leans hard into its name -- everything has a bee
theme.

I was also eager to try [Comadre Panadería](https://comadrepanaderia.com) after
hearing about it from Claire Saffitz on [one of her videos][comadre-yt] on her
Dessert Person YouTube channel. I have a huge soft spot for conchas -- Mexican
pan dulces shaped like shells -- and these were _incredible_.
{{< figures/image name=concha >}}
All told, a very successful trip! Breanna and I had a great time hanging out
together, and despite the clouds we got some great views of the eclipse.
