Saturday in the Park

Dale had the pleasure of officiating at a wedding on May 16. Jill Halbach, one of his former students and one of my part-time employees at the Post Library, married Adam Boswell at Cunningham Park. It was a very sweet wedding with lots of personal touches due to the creativity of Jill.
Adam collects rubber ducks, so ducks figured prominently in the wedding festivities. Paula, who works in the library, made the delicious cakes. Jill was up all night preparing food for the reception. Everything was wonderful.
Jill made her bouquet--a lovely assortment of flowers crafted from duct tape.
She walked down the aisle, which was formed by pinwheels stuck into the ground.
The ceremony was briefly interrupted by the arrival of a helicopter at St. John's Hospital.
Here are the Merry Boswells taking their vows. They decided their original plan to promise faithfulness until "worms eat your face" was a tad disrespectful for the seriousness of the commitment.

I'm so bored with these weddings, all the same, rubber ducks on the cake, bouquet made of duct tape, pinwheels to line the bridal path, Medical helicopters overhead. Why oh why can't people do something unique?
