I Now Pronounce You, "Man and Wife!"

Now I have a surprise for you, so please read on. Marilyn and I attended two weddings this summer; our nieces were getting married on both sides of our family. The weather was warm and the skies were clear. Both the bride and groom showed up for each wedding, always a good thing. The reception for one wedding (Megan & Drew) was across from the Hudson River with the Mid-Hudson Bridge in the distance. The other wedding was at a Golf Resort in York, PA, with a golf course in the background. Everything, of course, was memorable from the nuptial mass to the cutting of the cake. But if I had to pick one thing from Emily's wedding it would be the vows. Their vows were poetry to everyone's ears. They were beautiful, personal and original. You had to be there to really appreciate them.

As for the wedding of Emily and Ryan, if I had to pick one very special aspect that I had never seen done before, it was that the bride and groom thanked everyone for witnessing their marriage as they left the pew, not as they entered the back of the church or on the steps of the church.

As for the surprise, that's Bill Clinton with the straw or canvas hat on in the middle of Drew and Megan. You probably figured that out already. They ran into Bill on their windy honeymoon in Bermuda. All I can say is small world, eh? And, oh yes, "Bill could you squeeze Megan a little less?"
