I thought that while the honeymooners were enjoying the weekend in Cape May, I would sneak you a peek of the GORGEOUS BRIDE and the HANDSOME GROOM! (I know that this is very subjective, but as the mother of a healthy, cancer-free groom ... I'm allowed to say that they had the most beautiful wedding that I have EVER seen!!!)
Daphne looked so elegant as she came down the aisle with her father, Ed. All of their friends and family in the wedding party looked beautiful, the music sounded so nice thanks to Richard's aunt, Donna, his father, and our friends Don Peris and Peg Bowers! The Mass was very meaningfully performed by Father Leo Goodman with readings by Richard's aunt, Paula and our friend, Steve Spealman. (Also the host of a great rehearsal dinner with his wife, Mandy, and her parents, John and Pat Karns. We thank them sooooo much!)
Rich and Daphne were married while the sun was shinning outside, but by the time they took their pictures, they had to stay inside away from the pouring rain. Once it stopped raining, we went across the street to The Pressroom for a small reception where they ate a delicious meal, danced with each other and their parents, and then cut their wedding cake. (No, they didn't smash it into each other's face!)
It was a wish come true for a very deserving couple...
We were sad that we couldn't have everyone join in the celebration, but we thank God for Richard's health on Thursday. Nobody knows what can happen a year from now, but we are preparing for a BIG celebration on July 11, 2008. We want to have family and friends with us as we celebrate their first year together, and hopefully, one year of good health for Richard. So mark the date on your calendars!
Congratulations, Daphne & Richard!!!
We love you both so much! Mom, Dad, and Peter XOXOXO
