Wedding Bliss at Sophia Snow Place

Wedding season is in full swing at retirement community, Sophia Snow Place. Residents enjoyed a week filled with wedding planning, activities, a fashion show, and demonstrations. Kalembar Dune, a shop in West Roxbury, provided antique bridal gowns, gloves, and purses for the residents to view. In addition to the display, residents shared their own wedding albums, reminiscing about the big day. “We didn’t have big weddings, when I got married,” said resident Dorothy Lane. “I had 100 people, and that was a lot!”
A demonstration on designing a bridal bouquet was given by Halls of Tara, of West Roxbury. The finish bouquet of roses was raffled off to a lucky resident to enjoy. At the end of the week the couples residing at Sophia Snow Place renewed their vows in a special ceremony. “I never thought I’d ever be a bridesmaid again,” exclaimed resident Evon Benson. George and Ethel Giddings, who are the longest married residents, 63 years, were given gift certificates for a romantic dinner out.
The Sophia Snow Place Wedding Week was a great success, proving that love and weddings are timeless.
