There's no place like home!

“Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.”

-Confucius

We're back home from our overnight in the woods of Pennsylvania.

The wedding was lovely...a bit chilly ,but lovely none the less.

The setting was unlike any wedding I have ever been at,deep in the woods of the Pocono Mountains.

The entire affair was outdoors.

There was a barn(not heated) and a couple of roofed pavilions (again not heated).

There was a bathroom (Yep, you guessed right....not heated) and a building where the buffet was laid out (guess...!).

Everything was spectacularly beautiful,surrounded by a perfectly chilly Autumn evening.

The bride glowed.

The groom was handsome.

And they shared with all of us that which they enjoy most in life, their love for each other, their friends and family and being outdoors in the woods.

The wedding was at 4:30 , just as the Sun started to set.

Every now and again, beams of light broke through the trees during the ceremony casting a radiating aura over the couple.

It was at times magical.

The buses were scheduled to take us back to the hotel (about 20 minutes away) at 10. We departed late, eventually return at just about 11 o'clock.

Susan and I opted to skip the after party, leaving that for the younger crowd.

We said our good-nights and headed back to our room for the evening.

The last time I saw the clock ,it was just after midnight.

It was nice to get away.

It was wonderful being with family.

It had been a wonderful event.

I am so glad we were a part of it.

And maybe just as happy to be home!

Shavua Tov!
