Floating

An aura of lightness envelopes the bride and groom as they seem to magically float down the aisle as husband and wife. Their profoundly tender affection for each other is enchanting and their enthusiasm contagious. The clipboard of time-lines and lists are long forgotten, worries over potential squabbles and old grievances are non-existent and the important thing is that we are all gathered together in celebration of this beautiful couple. In the blink of an eye the ketubbah signing, genuinely heartfelt ceremony and cocktail reception have given way to dinner and dancing.  And with joyful buoyancy in the air we hear our names announced by the band as we make our entrance into the room, followed by the parents-in law. We are surrounded by family and friends ready to cheer in appreciation of the newlyweds as they dance, hand in hand, into the ballroom to boisterous, unbridled applause!
