One of this summer's highlights was going to a very lovely wedding that took place at the edge of a picturesque lake.
The parents of the groom live in a home in that sumptuous setting and set up a huge tent cover in the backyard, overlooking the lake.
Torrential rain fell earlier in the day but the tent cover provided perfect protection.
When it came time for the ceremony, the rain had stopped.
Guests wrote messages to the bride and groom about marriage, staying in love, and so forth.
A "thumbprint" family tree transpired, too. Each guest left a signed thumbprint on a drawn tree so the couple could remember all those who joined in celebration of their marriage.
The proud parents all looked wonderful and made guests feel very welcomed.
As evening fell, hundreds of lights filled the area and lighted candles twinkled on the tabletops.
Everyone enjoyed appetizers to the mellow and pleasing sounds of a solo guitarist.
Then, after the ceremony, itself, there was a lovely buffet and then, lots and lots of dancing.
People sipped beer, champagne and wine and toasted the happy couple.
May they have long and happy lives together.
It was a day to remember, always.
