Friday August 31st was beautiful not only because the sun kept shinning late into the day, but because Kelly and Brian were finally wed! Kloc’s Blossom Grove was full of smiling people as Brian and his groomsmen joked (sort of) about how nervous and excited they were. As Brian and I waiting for Kelly to …

Saturday August 25th was especially memorable for two reasons. Number one, it got up to over 90 degrees, and number two, the amazing and perfect-for-each-other Kathy and Theron were married! I first found Theron pacing under an enormous gazebo at Banchetti’s in Amherst. I’m pretty sure all of the sweat he was facing had nothing …
