 | We were fortunate to find Karen, a community minister with the University Unitarian Church, to officiate our wedding. Her friendly smile and general exuberance helped make everything about our wedding wonderful. |
 |
Meagan contributed the music and choose the march for us: Carmen Suite Intermezzo by Georges Bizet. |
 |
Les read Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken, which is my mother's, and her mother's, favorite poem. Mom was going to read, but she was too sick with an epidemic 24-hour flu bug to attend the wedding. We missed her, and Les read beautifully in her stead. |
 |
Joe read William Carlos Williams' The Ivy Crown, a wonderful and honest poem about mature love. |
 |
Nicole, my great friend and writing partner, read from The Bible's Song of Songs. It was an uplifiting reading that we appreciated very much. We're just sorry that there's no digital photo of her standing at the mic. |
 |
Alison read from D.H. Lawrence's Know Deeply, Know Thyself More Deeply, beautiful words about the all-consuming depths of love. |
 |
Steena finished us off with an exhilarating reading of Dr. Seuss' Oh, The Places You'll Go!, which she and Adrian had edited just a bit to include a girl for the boy in the illustrations and to mention John and me by name. |
