"The bonds that unite another person to our self exist only in our mind." -Marcel Proust

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary, spending Friday nite downtown with an all-day-walk on Saturday.  

We had just stopped for lunch (very late lunch, as is our wont) and out the window was a wedding party. After a quick order, i said: "i'll be right back", and slipped outside for a few shots of the festivities. It turns out the Seattle Cheese Festival was in full swing just below us in the Market and Seattle's Finest had blocked all the streets nearby. The wedding photographer was taking advantage by shooting in the middle of Stewart street. Their joy, their beauty, and the force of their enthusiasm was so infectious many more smiles left Stewart street then arrived that day. I grabbed a few quick shots and then had to leave them to their life - it looked like a wonderfully auspicious beginning to me.  

(i made it back before our lunch arrived and most was forgiven...  :))

cheers.
