Margaret & Tom {A Sneak Peek}

The sun shone brightly. A slight autumn chill tempered the day's warmth only slightly - it was a perfect day. The day began surrounded by friends - all through the salon the commotion of girls getting ready filled the space with energy, and at the center of it all, Margaret laughed and talked with friends wrapped in a shroud of contentment.

I remember when I first met Margaret and Tom. It was cold and the long night of winter made it seem much later than it was. We chatted and talked - and I knew somehow in that first meeting that these two were special - they had this perfect balance of laid-back outdoorsyness meets cocktail party.  I liked them immediately.

That balance carried over perfectly to their wedding - a blend of classic tradition sprinkled with Margaret and Tom's unique outlook.  The ceremony took place at the historic St. James Church in Lakewood, the reception at the jazz club Nighttown.  It was perfectly them. The sound of live music filled the air while they celebrated with their family and friends into the darkness of night.
