This photo by Jamie Livingston was snapped during our wedding reception at the Lotos Club in Manhattan. I am wearing my pretty off-the-shoulder wedding dress, actually a debutantes' dress by Victor Costa from Bergdorf Goodman. Hugh is wearing the double-breasted tuxedo his dad wore to his own wedding. We were married by Rabbi Bert Sigal, the inter-faith rabbi in front of a group of 75 family and friends. Singer Amy Burton and pianist John Musto played music by Schumann during the ceremony. An African umbira player serenaded guests quietly during cocktails. Joel Forrester played his very angular piano jazz during dinner. Later guests danced to the exuberant sound of a Mexican polka trio.

It was a truly great summer night 20 years ago.
