The big day arrived with the first truely sunny day we've had since arriving in Goa - and the weather held throughout the day. So we were able in the end both to experience monsoon rains (several of them, in fact!) AND still have the perfect weather for a wedding.
The nuptial mass took place at 4:30 PM this afternoon and was followed at 6:30 PM with cocktails by the Taj Exotica Hotel pool and dinner in the Grand Ballroom. The whole affair went off extremely well, all recorded on video for the benefit of Kevin's Grandmother back in Ohio who was unable to make the trip here to India.
Lee connected her to the reception using Skype and has spent much of the late night and early morning hours eitting the eighty-five separate clips into one or two (or maybe three, possibly four) packets to upload to the 'Net before going to sleep.
Just click on the title which follows for a look at the final product - A Wedding in Goa - which just might give you a small sense of the actual ceremony and perhaps as well a hint of just how joyous the entire day has been. [NOTE: After posting the video compilation early Thursday morning around 2:30 AM local time (!), Lee reviewed the results only to discover that he had produced what at its most kindly might be considered a "postmodern" effort. The various original segments somehow got out of sync so that the bride and groom exit the church and then are shown taking communion! Postmodernism allows the unexpected juxtaposition of miscellaneous bits and pieces, so that's what you get when viewing this particular version of events. Once home again in Shaker Heights, he will reedit everything and hopefully produce a more polished and coherent version of this truly glorious event...]
