Summer Trips: Mr. and Mrs. Al the RA

Our friend Al and his wife Jeanette (seen below as husband and wife for the first time) were kind enough to schedule their wedding to coincide with our East Coast trip to help Jessica move into college.

We celebrated Al and Jeanette's wedding at the picturesque Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston, MA.

After taking the questionable advice of our portable GPS system, I delivered our group (me, Julia, Rajeeve, Melissa and Patti) to the ceremony just as it was getting started. Whew... just in time! Al's Holy Cross roommate Malcolm did a great job as the officiant. I think that he introduced Mr. and Mrs. Al "the RA" at the end of it but then again I might just be making that up. As the sun set and the bride and groom were officially married the large group of Holy Cross alumni in attendance gathered for a few photos.

The dinner, dancing and catching-up that followed was a blast.
Several of us spent the night at the Cerreto house down the street in Micheal Bolton, MA.

The next day more friends arrived at the Cerreto's for a BBQ but Julia and I had to catch a flight home and couldn't stay long. We had a lot of fun though and hope to see our friends again soon.

By the way, Raj and Melissa are next. So we have that wedding to look forward to.
