At 1:12 PM today, the bride walked down the pavement, across the grass, and stood at the foot of Orpheus, the God of music and poetry at Fort McHenry. One hundred and twenty-five guests filled rows of chairs facing the nude statue's base, where the groom and Minister waited. A wide layer of clouds moved from the southwest and covered one and all, blocking the blazing sun, and a lovely breeze came up from the river to cool us just as the ceremony began.
A park ranger walked over to see what was going on. He had never seen a wedding at the Fort that featured Orpheus as a center piece. The bride chose the theme: patriotism, to honor her great grandmother, whose wedding ceremony was at the same spot. Proud Americans all, with 5 generations living in Locust Point. I know the bride's aunt and she invited me to witness this historic wedding. Zippy
