“Best feeling of the day- When I finally made it down the aisle to the front of the theater, my “Man of Honor” Brian Gligor escorted me to my place on stage. It was time to begin the ceremony and I locked in on my groom. I realized that he was looking at me with wide eyes and there was a big, goofy grin on his face (as if to indicate that he liked my bridal get-up and he was as excited as I was to be getting hitched). It made me laugh, which in turn made our officiant George Salazar laugh (there is a picture of him in this exact moment covering his face with his binder) and then the whole audience began to laugh as well. It was a beautiful moment in an evening filled with love and laughter! ”
Great work, Laura! What a fabulous evening and a truly joyous cause to celebrate.
