It was with great joy that I watched my friends Julia and Justin set sail into wedded bliss yesterday afternoon!I have known Julie for more than a decade, since we struggled our ways through the minefield of college. I was so proud to be chosen as her Maid of Honor and to stand by her as she promised her life to this man who loves her for everything she is.
Julie and Justin were married on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship The Grandeur of the Sea, at the Baltimore harbor. Due to cruise and Customs limitations that allowed only an hour and a half of reception time on the wedding day, Julie instituted the first "upside-down" wedding I've ever been to by holding the reception the night before. Her good friend Ted Garber performed live for us, and I danced in my gold stilettos until I could dance no more!
At 1 p.m. on August 8, the music played, the bride appeared, and the groom teared up at the vision of the woman who would be his wife. At 4 p.m., they sailed away on their honeymoon.
My very best wishes go out to them both! Justin, your bride is among the truest and most romantic souls that ever was. Know the gift that you have been given, and take good care of her.
