a happy event.Many friends and family from all around the United States honored them with their presence, and to support them in this new phase of their lives.
The wedding party included Elizabeth's family of brothers, sisters, and professional colleagues, Bruce's sister, mother, his two sons and scores of friends from high school and college.
A close friend of Elizabeth, the Chaplin at Emory hospital in Atlanta, conducted the
ceremony in the chapel of the Academy of Medicine.
Bruce's son Grant was the ring bearer and his son Reed read selected Biblical scriptures about the true meaning of love. Following the ceremony and the cutting of the cake, the groom's life long friend gave the toast and told us about what his sleuthing had uncovered, regarding how Elizabeth knew that Bruce was the one for her. It seems that early in their courtship she asked him if he wanted to go shopping with her on a Friday evening, to purchase patio furniture. He said yes, and, as she said, "he showed up". Everyone chuckled at this information and felt it was evidence enough that Bruce would be a dedicated husband.
Dancing, dining and spirited conversation was holding sway until the bride and groom made their exit out the entrance and down the wide front stairway. On both sides friends held up sparklers as gathering darkness signaled that the evening was coming to a close.
We all wish Bruce and Elizabeth a long and happy life together.
