We are still basking in the memory of James and Rachel's beautiful late summer wedding. Jim and I were pleased that so many family members and friends could join us for the out-of-state event.
From start to finish, it was an elegant affair. The ceremony itself was very traditional, and even though some of the rituals were new to us, we found it all very moving.
Watching my dad walk down the aisle, escorted by my brother Carl, was especially touching. In spite of Dad’s worsening dementia, he clearly enjoyed the ceremony and dinner. A smile from him is a fleeting thing these days, but the photographer managed to capture several.
A fabulous live “swing” band accompanied the reception and even lured me (and my wheelchair) onto the dance floor. At the end of the evening, the bride and groom opened their wedding quilt, which I'll share more about HERE.
Mazel tov to James and Rachel!
Your boys are so grown up! Thanks for a peek at the wedding.
