A church wedding in Ithaca, reception at Dano’s on Seneca

Lauren and John were married at Immaculate Conception Church in Ithaca on a sunny, sticky, sizzling, rainy, cloudy, clearing, chilly day. They celebrated later at Dano’s on Seneca Lake. The day’s weather was simply an advance on their wedding trip to England, where the weather is famously changeable. It didn’t begin to subdue the spirits of this adoring couple, euphoric to be married at last.
