I remember taking Nijo’s call on the ferry back from Block Island. The horn was blowing, people were chattering nearby, and I could barely hear. One thing that was clear was that Nijo and Jereena had decided to move forward this year and get married. And they wanted to make sure we were available for their selected date. I got off that call and for the 5o minutes of the ferry ride marveled at how lucky we were to have been able to connect with them! Every bit of their celebration had a familiarity to it. It was like hanging out with two friends and their friends. We had talked on the phone a handful of times, yet the from the very first time we met, it was like we’d known each other for a long time.
Our couples’ have shown a remarkable resilience in light of the current events. On the other hand, maybe it’s because of these events that we’ve shifted focus. The happiness we see on everyone’s faces is deeper – it’s as if you fight through a storm to climb to the top and when you make it, you can’t help but glow.
Jereena and Nijo – thank you guys for pulling us in your happy circle! We were honored to be there, to share in the day, to smile with your family members, to laugh when they did. Enjoy these teasers – we hope they remind you of all the joy on your marriage celebration!
