Wedding

A wedding is not exactly a paddle, but is a pretty big event. H and I made it legal in a very short ceremony at Mt. Hope Farm in Bristol, RI. We followed it up with a long party to celebrate. It was great to have our families and close friends there to share the event with us!!

The minister, Rev. Charles Flag, did an wonderful job of making the ceremony personal, non-denominational, and short. He did two short readings that spoke to the course of mature love; its ebbs and flows; its delicate, powerful essence. One of H's close friends played the bag pipes for us which added to aura of the ceremony.

The party, with food provided by Blackstone Caterers and music by Rhythm Productions, was a blast. Instead of a sit down dinner we had stations: risotto, noodles, salad, and beef/chicken plates. It made for a fun and informal feel. People danced the night away and then returned to the hotel on a school bus.
It was a beautiful launch for what looks to be a grand journey!!
