At Last...

There comes a time in every woman’s life when she wonders when (or sadly, if) she will ever get married. She’s dreamt about that moment since the time she was a little girl and used a pillowcase as a veil and wilted daises as her bouquet. She’s thought about who she would invite, where it would be, who would be her bridesmaids and where she would go to relax on her honeymoon. Like Monica on “Friends” she probably has a book somewhere, filled with pictures of rings and dresses and flowers and cakes. She knows what her wedding song will be and that she will cry when she walks down the aisle.

The only thing missing from the equation is one very important factor: the groom. Just a little minor detail that may have slipped our minds. When we are young, we don’t know who he will be but we dream of him and how happy he will make us and how happy we will make him. He is just a faceless man in a tuxedo at the end of the aisle and we can’t wait to meet him. For my friend Jennifer Lake, that face is no longer a blur but one that is clear and recognizable and smiling and ready to take her hand and become her husband. That man, I am very happy to say, is Jim Cozzarelli, and he has asked Jen to marry him and she has said yes. So Congratulations Jen and Jim, and may your dream become a wonderful reality….
