Michael's Wedding

Last night Michael and Samantha were married, and Matthew stood by his friend as best man. It was a beautiful outcome of a sometimes difficult journey, and in the faces of Lynn and Mike, you could read incredible joy. I wish I had a photo of the proud parents, but these others do reflect the happiness of the occasion. A couple of notes on the ceremony: Lynn’s mother, a former judge, presided over the exchange of vows, Matthew did the reading to the couple, and Michael and Sam read words they had written to each other. Also, Sam had chosen Beatles (and Led Zeppelin) songs for the string quartet. I include photos of Lynn’s friends sitting together at the reception, as well as one of Lynn’s daughter Kristen and her husband. But the night belonged to the young couple and their dear friends who came together out of love for them.
