Smiles. That’s what stands out to me about Hillary and Doug’s wedding. That and their so obvious joy at becoming husband and wife. It was a family affair from the start as they chose Doug’s parent’s home on the Eastern Shore as their wedding location. It’s a place, I’m sure, that already has many wonderful memories for him and now he can add his wonderful wedding to his list. The festivities began at their Friday night rehearsal dinner at The Inn at Perry Cabin, a Shore landmark if there ever was one. The waterfront lawn was a fitting backdrop for family and friends to begin the wedding weekend celebration. Saturday, Hillary got ready in a suite at the Inn, eventually arriving at Doug’s Bozman house, ready to become Mrs. Naeve. The look when he saw her coming down the aisle, the looks, the smiles when her dad mixed humor and fond memories into his reception speech, the smiles at their toasts…it all made for a lovely, intimate wedding and it was crowned by a fun and lively post-dinner dance party. Congratulations Hillary and Doug! I’m so happy to have been a small part of your day!
