Jason and Liz got hitched in the lovely setting above, by a small beach near the house they’d rented for the occasion.
My niece Liz, with the phone, her sister, my niece Katie, await the ceremony. Their dad, my brother-in-law Pete, married to my sister Anna, also with his phone, is on the right — Blake, Liz’s boyfriend, is on the left.
My cousin Katherine, above, with the water bottle, chats before the ceremony.
My niece Keaton with her son Jackson arrives at the scene. Jackson was extremely proud of his new seersucker suit, and justly so. He managed to trash it completely during the festivities that followed the wedding.
The mother and father of the groom, my sister Libba and her husband Simon.
Liz’s father escorts her to the altar. She looked to me like a vision of Titania from A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
My mom does not always cooperate cheerfully in the taking of photographs — she has no one but herself to blame for this one. She’s seated next to Simon after the ceremony, with my sister Lee behind her and Jackson, on the left, gearing up for the party, where he danced the night away in mad abandon.

Hi Lloyd, you probably don’t remember me but I was your sister Libba’s (Swedish) room mate in New York back in 1973-74. Have not seen her since she left for Kenya to marry Simon that year. Am amazed to stumble upon her here in these photos. And you, and Lee. Recognized you guys immediately! Is there any way you could send her a greeting from me?

Of course I remember you — have sent you an e-mail with a funny picture from the old days and passed along your e-mail to Libba. Great to hear from you!
