Wedding: Laura & Sean

Laura and Sean were married on a pretty Sunday afternoon last weekend in downtown, historic Lexington, KY at the beautiful Bodley-Bullock House. Close family and friends were in attendence to witness the event before the couple left for their honeymoon in Spain! A Mark Twain poem I had never heard was included in the program:

Marriage makes of two fractional lives a whole;
it gives to two purposeless lives a work,
& doubles the strength of each whereby to perform it;
it gives to two questioning natures a reason for living,
& something to live for;
it will give a new gladness to the sunshine,
a new fragrance to the flowers,
a new beauty to the earth,
a new mystery to life.
