On a chilly but not quite cold afternoon in Pittsburgh, Josephine and Devarj made their intentions known before a small group of immediate family. After gathering at an Air B&B in Lawrenceville, they made their way up the hill of Mount Washington as two families, but descended as one. Upon reaching the summit, they found that the clouds had blocked the sun but the collective happiness that was shared by all gave more than enough light to the occasion. Josephine’s sister Alice did a masterful job of finding the right words that encapsulated the couple’s story, giving a touching account of where they’ve been, who they are at present and a few encouraging words as they look towards the future. Very well done! After the ceremony, we made our way for some takeout on our way back to Lawrenceville. There the two kept with Hindu tradition, walking seven times around the fire that sustains life and brings good fortune. Once completed, everyone gathered in the living room to sign a few official documents and then filed into the dining area that presented a full meal, a little wine, and toasts. Thank you, Josephine and Devarj, for allowing me to take in your special day with your family. What better way to cap-off the holiday weekend.
