Apocalyptic Wedding

We had a wedding several years ago that occurred in the early spring. It was set in downtown Seattle at the Chinese Room – on top of the Smith Tower. A lovely venue and it was an absolutely exquisite wedding. Everything was so beautiful, like a fairy tale. The bride wore a rhinestone studded gown that floated around down to the floor, the groom wore his uniform, and there was even a Cinderella shoe on top of the wedding cake. It was so lovely. The bride and groom opted to release butterflies as a symbol of their new life together. However, it was not quite warm enough outside for these 10,000 butterflies to fly, so…they fell. Down on the street below, and in my imagination, to the horror of people walking below.
