The day kicked off, as it should, at their home filled with the laughter and warmth of family and friends. As Galen got her hair and make up done, Tom strolled about in his monkey slippers and pjs telling jokes and whales tales while sharing in drinks and toasts.

As the time neared for the ceremony, Tom looked dapper as he walked out the front porch and across the street to look out over the Charles River. Galen followed shortly afterward and tapped him on the shoulder to share in their first look. In the soft autumn light filtered through the leaves, the emotions flooded in for the first time as Tom recalled all the years that passed between them that inevitably led to this day.

And so it goes, the two were married against the gorgeous backdrop of Commander's Mansion, just minutes from their home. The things that matter most, a carefree day with good company, great food and the details that describe their personalities and the values they will continue to share. We wish Galen and Tom a long, joyful life together as they start a new chapter in their families.
