May I Present to You Mr. and Mrs. Kagan!

     I had the tremendous honor of being among the smallish group of guests at the magical November 4th wedding of Alana Henry to Matt Kagan.  Alana is one of my nearest and dearest friends, and Matt, by utter coincidence, was a friend of mine at Exeter.  Matt's warmth, kindness, humor and brilliance (he has both an MBA and an MD) make for quite a combo!   

     The festivities took place against the matchless backdrop of Big Sur, California.  The ceremony itself was at the beautiful old mission church in Carmel. 

     Without furthur ado, let's look at some pics:
