A Serendipitous Day

As I said previously, I have been spring cleaning, and have been turning up long lost treasures. What fun it is to find them, and take a short little ramble down memory lane. This particular treasure was a surprise of sorts, but more of a relief. These pictures of little Rachael were among my favorites, and they were lost, lost, lost. I was quite certain about where I had put them, and periodically I would institute huge searches for them. Vergebens! I had taken other pictures of her in her little ao dai (the traditional Vietnamese dress,) but none of them turned out very well. These are from the wedding of Rebecca’s (and my) friend Tina. Rachael was the little train bearer. Lillian was supposed to be a participant as well, but she got stage fright at the last minute. Tina’s dog Jake also had a wedding costume and was going to march down the aisle, but sadly, he was not allowed. Worse yet, he had to wait in the car. But the truncated wedding party was beautiful nonetheless, and Rachael, in my opinion at least, was the star of the event. Not counting the bride, of course, who is always the fairest of them all.
