Sunday August 2nd my 24 year old son Justin was married to the girl that he had been dating since 7th grade. Pictures are not the best, luckily we had a professional photographer to do the real work, but we won’t see those pics for weeks, so attached are a couple of the early rushes. We had a very nice rehearsal dinner at the Brewster Inn in Cazenovia on Saturday evening, it was a beautiful sunny day. The day of the wedding it rained all day long. About 20 minutes prior to the start of the ceremony it just poured. Thank goodness all events were indoors and most everyone had arrived prior to the cloudburst and thunder. About 225 guests joined us in the festivities. The happy couple left the day after the ceremony for their honeymoon at Lake Tahoe. Justin is a graduate of Cornell University and is currently working on his PHD in Micro Biology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Michelle is a graduate of SUNY Geneseo, she just completed her master’s degree and is now seeking employment, along with a few million others. They planned the entire event themselves and it turned out to be a very personal and moving wedding. The wedding party along with about 30 “close friends” returned to the Double Tree Hotel near Carrier Circle after the reception wound up and Dad sprung for a few extra hours of drinks and munchies. I was very glad to escape around midnight, with my wallet!!.
