The wedding

The wedding was truly beautiful. We had such a great time. The ceremony was held at a beautiful church with great stained glass windows. The ceremony itself had many beautiful, religious aspects. Becky is a true pr gal...all details buttoned up and perfect.

But the reception was awesome. We had about a 3 hour break. First we went to pinkberry (my first experience after hearing rave reviews...honestly, not overly impressed)--my favorite yogurt place is still Yogurt Park in Berkeley, CA! Spent some Saturdays there when I was a teen.

We decided it was too nice of a day to be inside (or at a museum) so we headed down to the Staten Island Ferry for a boat ride. It was actually really fun and you can't beat the price (free.)

As we walked down the street to Bryant Park Grill, we could hear the bagpiper playing. The restaurant was beautiful, overlooking the park. First appetizers and drinks (I told M. it was only my 3rd Diet Coke)... on the roof with a guitarist singing among other ballads, some by James Taylor. Fun times visiting with Mark's co-workers. Then we went inside for a sit down dinner. Delicious salad, choice of entree, dessert bar. Dancing! Can't remember the last time we danced. We hated to call it a night at 10:30. I felt good in my outfit, so that worked out too. It was a fun fun day/night. All our best to Becky and Darren, who are sure to have a happy happy life together.
