A Fun Wedding
by Nancy ~ June 14th, 2008. Filed under: Featured, Friends, Latest News, Wedding.We enjoyed a terrfic time at our friends Marilyn & Peter’s son’s wedding. It was reminiscent of VT in the 60s .. with an international flavor. African drums for the wedding march and a Buddhist ceremony. The emphasis was on the celebration of the marriage and the family and friends and it was certainly a joyful event. So often in weddings the marriage becomes eclipsed by the wedding arrangements - this was warm, loving, relaxed and just plain fun. My friend, Marilyn, gave the most heartfelt, impromtu speech welcoming her new daughter-in-law, Wen, into the family. It went something like
“My mother always said to look at the way a person treats their parents when chosing a mate. When Wen’s Dad was ill she traveled every chance she could to California and it showed what a warm, loving person she is. We are so proud and lucky to have her join our family.”
