I have spent the last two weekends out of town. The most recent of which, Beth and I traveled to Berkley, California for the wedding of our good friends Matt and Rachel. Beth went to high school with Matt (go BV!) and he stood in at our wedding as Beth’s Matron of Honor (to this day, he bemoans that we didn’t let him wear a dress). This time around, Beth had the honor of reading for them.

Despite the threat of rain, the ceremony went off beautifully against the backdrop of the Berkley Botanical Garden’s redwood grove. Although a bit exhausted by a weekend of cross-country travel, we had a great time – Beth’s high school friends along with Matt and Rachel's families are a good group. Mazel tov.
