It wouldn’t do justice for me to recount, with mere words, the emotion they induced in so many of us as we looked on; Stephanie walking up the aisle, arms clutched tightly around her father’s, as Alan stood by the altar, lip quivering at the sight of his bride. I can’t describe the sincerity and passion evoked as the bride and groom seemed to drown in each other’s eyes as they vowed to cherish each other as long as they both shall live.

From the moment they joined hands at the altar, to each flash of the camera, from the trolley ride to the reception, to their first dance as a married couple, I knew this was a day no one would soon forget. And it won’t be the flower arrangements we’ll recall, or the fancy dresses people wore; nor will we remember the food we ate or the drinks they served. What we WILL remember are the two people whose new lives we helped celebrate that day. We’ll remember with fondness our part as family and friends in their new beginning. And most of all, we’ll recall, with smiles on our faces and laughter in hearts, the new memories we’ve added to the scrapbooks in our minds, realizing more than ever that our all-to-frequent good-byes only allow us to look forward to forthcoming hellos.
