Storm doesn't ruin perfect day
It was a picture-perfect day, even though a thunderstorm made it impossible for us to have our wedding photos taken in the Boston Public Garden with a view of the Boston skyline.
We had so many of our family and friends around us that made our day exactly what we had hoped. After a wonderful evening, we ended it by walking hand-in-hand as husband and wife through the Boston Public Garden to our hotel.
