The Wedding July 1, 2017

The wedding and reception were  held at the Castle at Skylands Manor in Ringwood, New Jersey.  Jill was a beautiful bride and Sean a handsome groom.  The ceremony was  outside, and dark clouds started forming. When the first clap of thunder sounded, we all hoped that the rain would hold off, and thankfully, it did.  Everyone then went into the castle for drinks and appetizers and then on to the hall for the reception merriment that followed.
