The rest of our day was spent at the Philadelphia Society of Free Letts, the oldest Latvian Society outside of Latvia. They had a spunky mid-century building (although the society dates back to the 1890's), with the tiniest library I'd ever seen, and a sprawling auditorium upstairs for our reception concert.
The wedding party and some friends walked with Sam and me while we paraded down St. John Nuemann's Way. Philadelphia is full of so much history; you cannot escape it! Our wedding photo-shoots were split between this historic belgian block street, and the
Edgar Allen Poe House, where we also took our engagement photos.

I had a friend from Moore make Fletcher a bow-tie with the fabric from the ladies' dresses. |
 |
Lunch from BirchTree Catering was delicious. Light summer sandwiches and salads. I screenprinted the menus at each table setting with hand-drawn text and illustrations. |
 |
Fancies from Federal Donuts in South Philly. We strived to use our Philly favorites throughout the day. |
 |
Cutting the donut. We are not huge cake fans; and who doesn't love a great donut! |
 |
| Fletcher and Aubrey in the tiny library. |
 |
| Me and my mother, making funny faces. |
 |
| In the scary basement of the Edgar Allan Poe House. |
