THE WEDDING

We got married on Sunday, June 28th, 2009. Nicholas and Erica Clement. The weather was beautiful. My wife looked extraordinary. The food was sensational. Everyone partied. Everything went perfect. Take a peek.

Our sweet-heart table, next to the cake (natch).

The Perennial Garden at Elizabeth Park in West Hartford, CT.

We named the various guest tables after some of our favorite movies. We sat at True Romance, natch.

Happy. Relieved. Excited.
