Tom and Abigail go to the Chuppah

David and I recently witnessed our old neighbor Tom doing something we never thought he would do: he got hitched. We are so happy for him and Abigail, his beautiful new wife. Tom and Abigail are so cool. They both have their own shows on KOOP radio and run their own business in Austin. We were so pleased to be at the wedding--David even had the honor of acting as witness and signing the ketubah (marriage contract). These pics were taken with my phone (I lost my camera recently), so they aren't great.

Despite what the weatherman had predicted, the weather was gorgeous which was lucky for us, the ceremony was outdoors at the Thurman Mansion in Driftwood, Texas (another plus for this wedding was its location in my beloved Texas Hill Country). This place is actually right up the hill from The Salt Lick, which apparently owns the Thurman Mansion. Days like that make me really miss central Texas.

The guest list included an old friend of mine from college, Jorie. This makes at least three weddings Jorie and I have been to together. It was great to see her and catch up, and meet her very cool fiance Roy (whoever thought Roy was an Israeli name?). I didn't think I was a huge fan of assigned seating, but Tom and Abigail did a great job with the table assignments. Everyone at our table was interesting. The reception also included a great band playing, lot's of dancing, toasts and a short entertaining medley performed by some friends of Abigail from Boston. Very cute.

Mazal Tov Tom and Abigail!
