Thursday, Aug. 11, 2011: Picture a bridal canopy (chuppah) hand-sewn by the groom's mom with a spiral of petals in front surrounded by three concentric circles of white chairs, full to the brimming with expectant guests. Then a long field of grass lined on both sides by stately fruit trees. The bridal party appears down a staircase hidden by bushes. One of the most beautiful women and her handsome father walk the long walk down to the center to meet her beaming groom. The coach and horses, the mice transforming into servants, etc. just hidden in the mist. Just a half hour north of Portland, a family estate. And now the couple are off to their honeymoon in Croatia.
