This Afternoon, A Hopeful Moment In Carroll Park As Young Couple Gets Married

What a lovely and hopeful moment.
Susannah Gilbert and Akif Akyuz got married in Carroll Park, Carroll Gardens this afternoon.  They had planned a wedding on April 4th, but had to cancel it. So they decided that today was a good day to say "I do."
The moment was captured by my friend and local resident Eunice Auer, who sent us the photos to share with the neighborhood.

We wish you much happiness and health for your life together, Susannah and Akif. Congratulations!
