Mon. 5/2/11: Charleston/Swing dance lessons for couple today in
preparation for their processional and first dance....and the groom
got it! Plus Sunday wedding at Canvas Art Bar: canvases set up with
paint for guests to contribute to artwork for couple's home; and
first ceremony I have officiated in which couple said nothing, just
listened. They sat on a couch, listening to all their friends and
relatives tell stories and give advice; exchanged rings to the poem
"Love" by Roy Croft read by me. And such a fabulous sunshine day in
Portland!
