We Want the Funk!

MJW110422-13550281_FunkDCWed_CO

I met Cynthia several years ago when we still lived in Brooklyn, NY.  I always remember her as a very happy person.  When we heard that she finally found her soul mate and was to be married, we were elated!


I didn't get to meet Danny until the day of the wedding, but we spoke over the phone.  What a fun couple!
We started the day at Dan's apartment and after a few minutes of helping him choose the right tie for his suit, his roomate heard him mention my first name.  "Are you Matthew Wagner?" he said.  "Yes" I said.  Then he told me who he was.  It was Desmond!  I hadn't seen him in ten years but we used to work together back in the mid 90's.  What a small world!  Little did I know that would be a recurring theme to our day with Cynthia and Dan.  We bumped in to so many friends and friends of friends throughout the day.

Oh, you might be wondering why I chose the title I did for this post.  That's because Dan's last name is Funk.  Cynthia is very happy about her new name that is much easier to spell than her maiden name.  As you might imagine, the DJ at the reception had his fun playing with "funk" in the title.

Anyway, here are some of our favorites from our day.

Teresa stayed with Cynthia while I went with Dan to scope out the best locations on the island.

wow, they're all incredible. I haven't known Cynthia long, but I've known Dan all my life and you've captured the "Funk" perfectly...even the way he points. HA!
