Maid of Honor
Maddie is the person I wished to be at her age. She is courageous, brilliant, heartfelt, inclusive, caring, beautiful inside and out and so thoroughly talented. She fills her life with passions and goodness: studies in marine science, mastery in diving, life guarding for the PCB beach patrol, teaching and so much more. She is a global citizen, serving and protecting not only her communities but also her ecosystems. Recently returned from a study tour in Thailand, she broadened her understandings of philosophies and Eastern cultures, not to mention adding an exquisite mandala tattoo. To say I am proud would be an understatement. More accurately, it is a privilege to witness such an amazing daughter and young woman. It is a gift for both me and Rand to share our days with you, Bebe. You are a joy to us. Thank you for standing with us. We love you.
Best Man
Howard is a genuine friend with an open heart. He knows how to live life. He knows how to love. He, his wife Luda and their children, Jason and Jillian, are a beautiful family. Little did I know when we met at the University of New Hampshire thirty-eight years ago—fraternity brothers, skiing Attitash, golfing—that we would be lifelong friends. I cherish our friendship. From childhood to adulthood, we have celebrated and supported each other and our families. Our friendship is a special gift, Howard, a comfort and a bond. Your ongoing care for me and Danielle over the past few years has been incredible. Thank you. We love you. It means the world that you will honor us and stand with us on this journey.
Flower Puppy
Sophi is our little love puppy who really likes her belly rubbed. She is soft and cuddly and hordes fluffy toys. You can sometimes find her dancing with abandon to "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." We love you, Sophi. We love you at three a.m. in the morning when you lick our faces off because it is time to play and that is what a puppy wants. We love you when you decide you don't want to potty outside in the rain. We love you when you roll onto your back, strike a pose and await belly scratches. You are a very special snuggle puppy and we are lucky to have found you.
