A wedding in the family

On December 30, our son Roy married Shannon Schwait in Gainesville, Florida. They had met in Tallahassee, FL, three years ago when Roy worked at Florida State University. They both live in Maryland now.

Despite the prevailing cold weather, Dec. 30 turned out to be a perfect day for the outdoor ceremony, which was arranged by Carl and Anna Schwait, the bride's parents.
