7/7/07 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

07/07/07 The famous wedding date of the season! There must have been church bells ringing across the world. My wife and I were fortunate enough to spend the day with a great set of families to celebrate and capture the memories of Kathleen and Geoff. The morning began by rallying the Geoff and the groomsmen into their Tuxes and getting some fun shots of them showing off their golf swing and of course, having a quick beer to ward off the heat. We then headed to get some photos of Kathleen and the lovely ladies of her bridal party. I was slightly shocked that they were ready so fast and we had plenty of time to get some solo and group photos – well done ladies – Sexy, Sassy, and Seventeen!

Kathleen and Geoff were married in Nahant, a quaint seaside town north of Boston, and they had a lovely service that spoke to their devotion and future happiness together. My wife always tears up during wedding vows, and this was no exception. Once the service was over, guests followed a bagpiper and headed over to the Nahant Country Club for the reception. We were lucky enough to steal the new husband and wife for a few minutes and grabbed the last light of the day in some amazing photographs on the beach. The sharp rocks and the smooth ocean really reminded me of what marriage is all about in the first place – a navigation through the rough and smooth to finally be standing in the same place knowing that there is

someone by your side looking out with you and for you.

The reception was a great party, and hosts Mary and Brad were wonderful hosts. There were speeches, song dedications, and even a serenade to the couple from the groom’s sister – the immortal “At last” by Etta James. All the parent dances and the couple’s first dance were chosen to fit the unique relationships they share. We left the reception happy to have taken part. But the story doesn’t end there……

Luckily, this was a wonderful wedding, but on the way home, things took a turn for the worst as our car battery died on Interstate 95! I managed to get us off the highway onto the grass, but as we had no electricity, no flashers could warn people of our presence. At this point it was 12:30am! And of course, out AAA had run out and we had to renew our membership before they would send a tow truck. We ended up being towed almost 100 miles from ~Boston to Portland, Maine! Once we dropped off the car, we got a taxi back to the house and made it home around 4am. What a night! All in all, it’s a funny story, and the only problem left to deal with is how I can make

sure my dog sleeps in a bit longer, the 5:30am wake-up call was not as welcome as usual!

Cheers to the happy couple – best wishes and have fun in Mexico.
