Here and below are just five of the over 800 stunning images from the wedding. I will post more later when we get them! Many, many people told us that this was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. Someone said that with most weddings, there is one thing that is good: it might be the photographs, the flowers, the clothing, or the food; but with Claire & Steve's wedding, everything went perfectly, and I never use that "P" word lightly, without worrying about making the Gods laugh at me.


The weather for the outdoor ceremony was gorgeous; no one stumbled on the brick pathway to the altar; no one got sick; no one flubbed their lines; all the vendors did an outstanding job. In all, the wedding was a celebration of life, perhaps the celebration of a lifetime.

I hope readers enjoy these pictures, as they show the results of all the technical steps needed to actually produce the garments that I blogged about in previous posts.

My heartfelt thanks to my son, who made the wedding and groom's cakes, the mini-desserts, and the croquembuche; to the Elkridge Furnace Inn (where both the bride and her brother worked for many years); to the florist for the beautiful flowers; to the craftsman who made the silver, pearl, and blue topaz custom jewelry for the bride, bridesmaids, and myself; to the DJ's who kept the young people dancing all night long, and to Balance Weddings for their light-blessed images.


And now, on with all our lives!
