Inspiration from Sculpture




This dramatic sculpture by J. Seward Johnson is located at a park in the Washington DC area. It is titled "The Awakening." The couple I married last Saturday were engaged by this sculpture.




Because it had meaning to them, I referred to this image in my remarks...likening the awakening of this person breaking through to the surface of the earth to the awakening of love for each other in their hearts.




The setting for their ceremony was also dramatic...the Manhattan Penthouse on Fifth Avenue and 14th Street. With view of the city from three directions, the family and friends of Lesley-Jane and Brad witnessed them exchange vows.
