It has been another busy week. This past weekend saw the wedding of my wife's niece at a scenic and celebrated location in The City. The weather was perfect (again), and the ceremony, conducted by the bride's cousin, proceeded flawlessly. At the reception we were introduced to relatives and friends from both sides. Some of the people had come from as far away as England, Canada, New York, and Washington State. The bride looked radiant. The groom was his usual amiable self. The newlyweds had planned every last detail of the ceremony and reception, but they had some help from the bride's sister.

In the days following, we entertained several of the out-of-town visitors, and in turn we were entertained by other family members who live in the vicinity. Weddings are of course wonderful venues to meet new friends and young people. They also provide many opportunities to reminisce about old times with relatives of our own vintage. Conversations that carry on far into the night are to be anticipated as well, and we certainly had more than our share of those.
