When she was a very little girl, my daughter decided she wanted to get married at the cabin where she spent part of every summer. More than that, she wanted to be married in the cherry orchard planted by her grandfather. And last month, that dream came true. A small number of us gathered to celebrate her marriage. I turned to watch her round the corner of the barn and start to walk across the field to her grandfather's side. From there they came forward to stand under an flowered archway in from of the cherry trees. Kate married her love, and we witnessed a rare thing: the fruition of a life-long dream. All hearts were full.
