aaron & abby wed







Aaron & Abby


when a man loves a woman,
and a woman loves a man,
a child can be born,

even when Richard Nixon is President
and Spiro Agnew, that “nattering nabob,” is Vice-President,
even after a decade of assassinations and the Vietnam War,
love and hope can echo from two beautiful children born then:
Aaron Seth Walker and Abigail Mara Lundsten,

every joy, and every bump on their road
from infant to child to teenager to adult
clear as yesterday to their parents,

how wonderful that they found each other
and how hard they have worked to build a partnership together:
the give-and-take,
the learning when to be the individual,
and when to be the couple,

and, like a fine wine, the right aging adds subtlety and depth
to the substance of their love and connections,








to Aaron & Abby, may your love and commitment to each other
grow even surer and deeper, and may you find yourselves stronger
and more full of joy because you seek to be one with the other.

with love,
from Henry & Joan Walker
