"How many hearts would feel the winter's wind blow..."

"...and still not turn cold?"

Linda and Alan were married today in a simple, beautiful ceremony that put many (far more expensive) weddings to shame. We witnessed their vows at City Hall instead of a church or grand ballroom; we gathered for the reception at a small bar downtown, not a banquet room or fancy restaurant.

It was the kind of wedding where the bride was stunning and the groom was beaming; where friends filled the roles of dressmaker, stylist and official photographer. It was the kind of reception where no one worried about assigned tables or speeches or formality of any kind. It was relaxed; it was fun; it was perfect. May their life together be as wonderful as this day.
