My friend Hm

My friend Hm got married last week. It was supposed to be an outdoor spring wedding at a resort overlooking a magnificent beach front, but it rained: freezing cold rain drops coupled with a gusty wind that chilled your bones. But it didn't really matter anyway, since the atrium it was held in had magnificent ceiling-to-floor windows and hard wood floors that boosted the natural acoustics. With everyone crowded into the small space, it felt cozy, inclusive and intimate.

And besides, who cares about the view when every eye is on the bride? She was radiant -- happy like a child, not at all conscious of herself, enjoying every moment, and unbelievably gorgeous. After the dinner, the bride and the groom opened the dance floor with a beautifully executed Latin dance. Because the groom looked so serious and deadpan (I think he was concentrating very hard on his steps!), it was the perfect foil to his partner's natural charm and flamboyance. She's hot stuff!
