Alex threw the bouquet and Matt threw the garter...wow is that a different tradition than it was back in the day! It was like a nightclub act..very burlesque...everyone knew their part...so adorable...I loved it! The music continued on and the dance floor stayed full! Several people left and changed clothes and came back including Alex. Shoes were off...people were searching for their things in the dark when they took their leave. Generation Y danced on!
It was hard to have conversation in the room with the music and now that the storm had passed, people were migrating out to the river front to breathe in the fresh air and have the conversations that they could not have inside. It was clean, cool, and fresh outside. The wind was gone...there were stars, the water was like glass and there was a full moon that we had not been able to see earlier in the evening. When I saw the moon I was reassured in an earthly yet superstitious way that the whole day had played out exactly as it was meant to. This calm... on the benches... behind the tent that was lifting off only a short time ago, was a reward. It was the calm after the storm, it was the gift at the end of a crazy night! God's Gift.

Isn't it amazing how to such polar opposite events were taking place at once? The devastation of the tornado in Gloucester and the incredible beauty of a new family beginning?
