The People Who Made it Happen

October 29th, 2005, Laurel Canyon boulevard, Hollywood, California

For the month before the wedding, Andy, myself, my mother, our friend Dave, the wonderful Anna, Spencer, Nick, Julio, Mariah, David, Annie, Mike Dawson, “Cat and Mouse” Westmorland the fantastic couple who lent us so many of the Halloween decorations and Ben were all working to put together the makings of a Halloween wedding at Patrick’s beautiful house in the hills.
This was quite a feat, as we had very little money to work with and little time to do everything in, but what we did have was some wonderful friends and family who helped to make the wedding happen. Before I go into the actual wedding, I want to thank you all for your help.





Mom (Calista):

Thank you for your dedication and problem solving brain. No matter what the problem was, you helped to find the answer, and if you didn’t have the answer, you found someone who did. You’re one on-the-ball chick, and I don’t think we could have had the wedding without you. (And thank you for the beautiful turquoise ring…I’d wear it more often, but it falls off my finger. I’ll have to get it resized soon). You're a fantastic mother, and we'll never forget how you pulled through for us. We love you.








Dad (Thomas Adam Boffi):

Thank you for walking me down the aisle. It wouldn't have been the same without you. I love you.







Anna:
thank you so much for making my wedding dress come to life and for all the wonderful food you cooked for our guests (I hear it was delicious, though Andy and I never actually had the chance to taste any of it). Anna worked her ass off for the wedding, so much so, that our reverend, Doc, has saintified her through the Universal Life Church (he became a reverend online). Anna, you truly are a Saint. Thank you.










Patrick:
I’ve always loved your beautiful home, and wish to have one like yours someday. Thank you for allowing us to plan and hold our wedding in your home. The stone theatre in the hill was perfect.









Kay Morris (Momasita Morris):
Kay put together an awesome Rehearsal dinner in Hollywood...that even came with some of our favorite actors from Buffy and Angel...as most of us there were all huge Joss Wheedon fans. Thank you. It was great to have an evening where we could relax between the crazy crazy.











Dave, Nick, Julio, and Ben:

Thank you for helping put up the decorations and spider webs for the wedding, and for being as good of friends as you are. (and for going on beer runs and pizza runs during it all).









Mariah (my sister):
Thank you for the beautiful and very Halloween wedding cake and the clever little chocolate caskets for Andy, myself and the groomsmen and brides men.







“Cat and Mouse” Westmorland:
You two are some of the most generous, kind and wonderful people we’ve yet to meet. Without a complaint, you let us borrow your fantastic Halloween decorations and were always eager to help and give. Without you, it’d be half the Halloween celebration that it was. Meeting you was wonderful. I’d love to see you both again. Thank you.






David and Annie:
You two managed to get everyone up to the wedding in the precarious streets of Laurel Canyon, by organizing and paying for the parking for all of our guests. Thank you.








Mike Dawson:
Another giving wonderful man, you allowed us to use your stunning Halloween decorations from your own personal collection. So sorry for the casualty of war.





The Bands:

Thank you to Christaain Morris, Christy, Sage and Pat, for performing their first official show as Knives in the Attic (formerly Last Great Liar) at our humble Halloween wedding. You were great, and the costumes were awesome.

Also thanks to Calista, Scott, Tyler, Brent, Ofir, and Julian for the wonderful jazzy music.










Finally, thank you to everyone who came, and for the presents you brought, and if I’m forgetting anyone, you are thanked, I’m just forgetful.

Okay, now on to the wedding!
