Our neighbors got married earlier this fall, on the last warm day before it turned cold.
I performed the ceremony, which is the second wedding I've performed. (I have another one in March that is more high stakes — it's at a wedding venue and will have about 80 people in attendance. Eek.)
Alex and Clarissa's wedding was perfect in every way. They did it at the Cincinnati Observatory on a Sunday late afternoon. It lasted about 7 minutes. Their vows were perfectly sweet and thoughtful and I read the ceremony from my phone, because that's where I'd written it. Somehow, their vows to each other and the ceremony I'd written all mentioned the same things — an apple cake, adventure and travel.
Either we know each other better than we even imagined (probably true), or we are connected on a spiritual plane (possibly true).
It was just the two of them, the two of us and their two dogs.
This is my favorite photo from the day: Them in their wedding attire, wrangling Ramond and Tina to a tree.
And then Tina photobombed us.
Afterward we went to our favorite place, Forno, for dinner. Because whatever day you get married, it's nothing without bolognese and bruschetta from Forno.
