Mr. and Mrs. Eagle

Josh, a dear friend from U of M, tied the knot July 17. He had doubts it would ever happen, but we knew better! We were lucky enough to meet Annie the day before the wedding and to help them celebrate wedding festivities at First Parish, an inclusive church founded in 1711 in Needham, Mass., just outside Boston. Although it was hot and Andy was (very) hungover, this was one of my top two favorite weddings. The Eagles and their rabbi helped explain each part of the Jewish ceremony, which focused on Annie and Josh's new life together with the blessings of friends and family. The reception was outdoors on the grounds of the Bradley Estate, a mansion built in 1902. We had such a wonderful time partying along with the llamas, sheep and goats just over the fence next to the event tent. Even Andy was able to find his way to the dance floor.
We couldn't be happier for Annie and Josh!
