Mr. and Mrs.Savir

Elizabeth Landrigan and Raphael Savir were married at the Lars Anderson Park in Brookline on September 6, 2003.  Friends and family cheered and woo hoo'd as the happy couple kissed for the first time as a couple - rather, as a married couple.  After the ceremony and an extended photo session it was off to the Veronique Ballroom for libations, food, dance and celebration.  Highlights included great singing by Chris Landrigan, Liz' brother, and Richard, Liz' cousin; a jig danced by Phil and Catherine Landrigan; Raf's father David and Lise Lindquist bringing down the house with a dance; and Steve and Mark's touching dance.

The ceremony was perfect, thanks in part to the coordination of wedding planner Kristi Rea.  Problems were minor but included the young man - who shall remain nameless - who forgot to bring along his size 15 shoes. One fellow even enjoyed his first trip to the dance floor with a female.

Friday night's rehearsal dinner included some excellent singing by Chris and Mary and some fine presents - although these were puzzling to some.

In my photographic efforts I found some folks in unlikely places - like Ed and Steve here - doing unlikely things (like drinking).  Boy, weddings can be crazy. And, true, there was work to be done - like setting up the chairs - but someone had to document it, right?

I apologize for some mediocre shots which don't portray folks in the best light - the unexpected stern expression or .  Oh, and I realize that the camera wasn't always welcomed or came as a surprise - sorry about that.

I was fairly nervous delivering the toast because all eyes were on me.  However, I muddled through, and I know that my well wishes for the couple were shared by all present. 

The wedding was an event that I look back on fondly!
