A Wedding, Our Nation, and The Frog

Our good friend Scott Howard and Emily Lovejoy were married on Saturday the Twenty First of February at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Woburn, Massachusetts.

Scott had just come to serve at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer when he and Emily met (she drove Scott to the pot-luck dinner held to welcome him to the church).

Ever conscious of propriety, Scott attempted to conceal his attraction to Emily from Emily and the congregation for months (after-all, he is a priest and she was a member of the congregation). Of course, Emily, being the perfect match for Scott (and a member of his evaluation committee), attempted to conceal her attraction to Scott from Scott and the congregation for months.

The congregation thought this dance of propriety was very funny and they helped the couple plan their wedding.

Here are some photos from the wedding and our trip to Woburn.

The day after the wedding, LisaDiane and I flew from Boston to Philadelphia. We spent the day with Ted and Becky sight-seeing in and around National Independence Historical Park. Then we drove back to their house in Chambersburg.

If you are ever playing tourist in Philadelphia, have lunch at the City Tavern – we did and the food was tasty and the costumes were fun. Visit the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and City Hall to see William Penn- just don’t miss the City Tavern :-p

Laura met us in Chambersburg and the following day we drove with her to her apartment in College Park, Maryland. We spent the night and the next day she invited us to join her early lecture at the University of Maryland, introduced us to some of the faculty (it was very nice to see Leon again), and took us to a ‘Noon Concert’.

Then we went to visit The Frog.
