Today, we rejoiced in the union of two friends who have grown into inseparable companions for life - Elliot and Melissa.

You knew it would be something special from the outset of the ceremony. Melissa was glowing, coming down the aisle, eager to take Elliot's arm and stand at his side forever. Across from Melissa stood Elliot, tall and proud, delighted for his new wife and the future they would build together.

As the dinner began, the focus shifted for a moment to the speakers. Each of Elliot's boys confidently took the mic, shared moving reflections of their father while expressing gratitude towards the contribution Melissa has made in each of their lives. Melissa's cousin also expressed her feelings about the day's significance while simultaneously throwing in a few lighthearted jokes in Elliot's direction. Bravo-Cousin-Bravo!!

Today's happiness was contagious, a gift to all in attendance. Today, we applauded a win—today, we celebrated family.

Congratulations!
