It is hard enough to find true love once in a lifetime. It is a rare gift to find it twice.  Our friends Bill and Karen both lost their first spouses to lengthy illness having endured the “for worse” half of the “for better or worse” marriage covenant.  Widowed late in life they probably could not have imagined finding love again, but they did. Jeanine and I had the honor of witnessing their marriage this evening on the grounds of the Fruitland Museum.

Featured prominently in the ceremony and at the reception was Bill’s dog Beau.
