It was such a joy to witness my dear cousin, Rebecca Slicker's, marriage to her new husband, John Lubatti. The ceremony was beautiful; Rebecca & John added a number of small touches, including the lighting of a unity candle, the blessing of an Irish wedding bell, an incredible solo by Aunt Linda's significant other, Andrew, and a number of special readings. Perhaps most unique, Rebecca & John personally served Communion to each of their guests. The reception, held on the top floor of Bayfront Towers, in downtown St. Petersburg, offered incredible views of the entire area. Rebecca & Vanessa, two special sisters and amazing cousins, got married within months of each other and used the same venues for each of their ceremonies & receptions. Witnessing the many ways in which each personalized her own special day was a real pleasure! Congratulations to each of my beautiful cousins!
As an extra pleasure, I got to visit with my brother Rodney and his girlfriend, Sophia. Since they live in Tallahassee (a six hour drive to the north), we rarely have the chance to see each other. Having the opportunity to chat made the evening a particular joy for me :-)
