A wedding.....

Heidi and John were married this afternoon. After a cool dry summer suddenly it is hot and humid. The wedding was at a farm turned reception area east of St. Paul, MN. The service was in a grassy clearing with little shade. People who don't like heat said it was hot; nineties and humid. It was a wonderful celebration full of love and respect abounding in good taste. It was filled with elements congruent with their values.
After the wedding we moved to an area where the tables were set under awnings. That was fortunate because thunder soon rumbled and rain fell. It did not dampen the spirits at all.
Gratifying to me was the maturity of the bride and groom who planned a reverent, creative service and a fine reception yet were mindful that marriage is much more than a wedding. I wish them well and will follow their journey with interest.
