Just about six months ago, I was honored to marry Bill and Sandy Snow in their home in Brecksville. They had only been dating for a year but have known each other since Kindergarten. Both were married and now widowed. The met up again at none other than their class reunion. It didn’t take long for them to know that they wanted to be together for the rest of their lives.

Since they were going on a three week vacation visiting family around the country, they decided that they wanted to make it legal before they went so they could announce their happiness to each family member. in person. So the “real” wedding took place in January.

This past week a wonderful renewal of those vows took place at Woodside Event Center in Brecksville. This time they had a full wedding party complete with their two children and four grandchildren. Over 100 guests witnessed this love story firsthand. There were no nerves this time around - just pure joy.

The bride and groom were beaming from the moment we started and I am sure are still smiling. The ceremony was even more meaningful the second time around accompanied by an incredible string trio. The bride and groom walked in together to Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and the grandchildren walked in to “When you Wish Upon a Star.” So very special for two very special people. Wishing them so much love and happiness!
