Yes, the bride was beautiful. And wore the most breath-taking wedding gown I had ever seen. It should be in a museum with a glass case around it.
And yes, the groom had a real 70’s haircut.
(And yes, Camp Ojibwa represented.)
If a picture is worth a thousand words, let me add only these few more.
This wedding was a real blessed event for so many of us. Mary Lu and Kenny are a true “Power Couple.” They have used that power generously for friends and family alike. And together they have brought joy and happiness to everyone who has ever had the pleasure to have known them.
Congratulations, best wishes, and many, MANY more.
From your ever-lovin’ sister/sister-in-law,
Ellen
Thank you Ellen. Loveliest anniversary card, ever! Has been a lifetime and yet in many ways, seems like a minute. Very sweet. ❤️ 😘❤️
Glad you liked it. And you’re right. It’s all going by too fast! 😘🍾🥂
Too soon!
You’re quite a couple
I must admit…
That you make a team
With quite a great fit.
So we celebrate your time together
And a happy Jewish New Year,
We can also proclaim
Up with South Shore
And down with New Trier!
I can not approve the last line of this ditty. But (almost) thanks, Bernie! 🥂🍾
