| Alex & Olivia, August 12, 2017 |
We four, Bob, Emma, C.J. and I were quite comfortable in this lovely country home, surrounded by greenery.
Well, not everyone. Bob found that the mattress gave him a backache. But the big sofa in the living room was better.

The ceremony took place in the garden at the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts.
Olivia's brother Alex (Alexander) performed the ceremony, "by the authority vested in (him) by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania". He did a very fine job of it.

Like these,
After brunch, we put on our comfortable shoes and headed off to the HUGE music festival, held every year in Bethlehem. More music, mugs of beer and lots more food.
Friends and more of Liv's family came to join us at the festival and help celebrate.
We attracted quite a lot of attention following our bride and groom through the festival, wearing our noggin blooms! Those really did help us find each other.
Here was my favorite tent:
We had a wonderful time meeting Olivia's family, and the many friends of Alex and Liv who came to the festival. Thanks to her Dad Tom for hosting us at the B&B and to her Mom Louise for the Friday evening feast. And congratulations to Olivia and Alex. Best wishes for many years of love and laughter!
