I had booked Sara and Joe for a wedding, without meeting them.

Several downpours of rain made everyone say: “It’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day!!” This very special ceremony and reception honored the two faiths of the families: Christian and Jewish. …

Ashley and Brian live in DC but will soon move to Charleston! What lucky people they are! Ashley’s mother, during her toast, said that…
