It was about to be the second act of Kerry and Robert's wedding and so we finished up the luncheon at home
and drove to Philadelphia where we checked into the Rittenhouse and had this amazing room

Once dressed and ready for the event, we took the elevator down and ran into Danny and Amy
Debbie and Andy
and Jane
before encountering the couple of honor
who then posed with Jane
but the action was too exciting when more of us joined the photo.
Next we met up with Jesse who posed with Suzanne
and I had a pleasant chat with Kerry's undergraduate room mate and her husband
before Katy, Jesse, Joe and Jane
convinced me that we should walk through the dance floor
and admire the center pieces while finding our seats.
Andy was by his table
as Suzanne posed with Katy and Jane
who then posed together
and took these photos of us
before Katy posed with her mother.
This gentleman seemed to be the person whose photo was never taken and so I took it
before Andy and Suzanne posed for a brother-sister photo.
Once at our table who met Ryan and Matt who were to be our tablemates.
But then the dancing began and Jesse spun Jane around the floor

while I admired the challah for the occasion
and in between photos of the band
Jane captured Suzanne and me
though we were still admiring the band
even as Suzanne, Jesse, Katy and Jane gathered
and I moved back to our table
though Joe and Danny were chatting
as I admired the menu
and the table setting
as my roll was calling to me
along with the first course, the beggars' purse.
Amy and Danny were at the table
as was Jane
who did her Blair Witch photo
which seemed to amuse Amy and Danny
even as the salad arrived.
Between courses, Suzanne and Jane were dancing
as were Andy and Debbie
and Jesse and Katy
before the group came together
and then apart with Jane and Suzanne doing arm motions
which Suzanne and I felt we had to follow along with mystical numerological signals.
before the group came together
but Suzanne and I peeled off
and posed separately
before Suzanne joined Sally
and they were then joined by Jane
before the mother and groom dance
which seemed to please Katy and Joe
as well as Suzanne and Jane.
Robert
was leading some dancing
and then came to join us
before we returned to our places
for the vegetarian dish
the salmon dishes
and the chicken
which fit into the table setting
as the men gathered
and photos of our table were taken
before the bride and groom walked away in the happiest of ways
and the PNC park shaped groom's cake appeared
which amused Suzanne and Andy
and led to applause
for the wonderful cake
as Suzanne and Jane returned to the dance floor
next to Katy and Joe
as the cake held forth
as Jane joined Suzanne
and then Katy
so that we could make our way back to dessert.
Amy and Danny were amused
by Jane eating a chocolate covered strawberry
but they then got more serious
and so Jane took phone photos
though Suzanne
and I
were looking at the centerpiece
as Danny and Amy explored the dance floor.
Katy and Jane
and Andy, Debbie and Suzanne
were excited and cheering
as Robert came by
and then Lois wished us a happy evening
though Andy seems to have already lapsed into the night
even as we brought our party favors
to our nicely made up room
and dreamed of putting these wonderful slippers on in the morning.
The next morning,w e made our way to the brunch
where this was the food on one side
this was Jane's plate
this was the food on the other side
and as Joe, Danny and Amy settled in
these were the juices
before I took photos of those at our table
and my plate
coffee
and confection
before the groom arrived
and Suzanne returned with oatmeal, suitably dressed, for me.
and Jesse showed me his magical cucumber
and the bacon arrived for Sally to dig into
even as Suzanne returned with her new plate.
After a while, it was determined that the bacon should be buried under napkins, undoubtedly a wise choice.
Next I took a few possibly LinkedIn photos of Jane
before Kerry joined our table
and spoke with Suzanne
even as her Uncle Howard came over and posed with Suzanne and Andy.
Katy and Jane
then led to the next round of potential LinkedIn photos of Jane
before there was an assembly around the PNC Park cake

to beheaded the cake figure
for all to see.
Suzanne and Andy seemed happy
especially as I brought over our piece of the park.
On our way out, we paused to pay homage to the statue in front of the hotel and then made our way home having wonderful feelings for Kerry and Robert and their happy life together.
