A Wedding to Remember

As you probably guessed by the break in the sequence of posts, the past three days has been a bit more hectic than normal. But today was certainly a special day in the life of our son Lee and his immediate family. That immediate family expanded significantly today as he married Staci. With her two daughters and his son and daughter than will now have four kids to take care of and enjoy.

The event started with a party held at Jessica and Jon's house and underwritten by Carolyn. Since the wedding itself was held on a gondola floating along the canals of Naples (California) there wasn't room for all the people who wanted to wish the couple well and they weren't anxious to have a large reception.


As the sun was dipping toward the horizon, the small wedding party gathered on the dock, posed for pictures, and boarded the gondola which was piloted by two "professional" gondoliers.

When we had left the dock and had wound through parts of Naples, the officator began the short ceremony that served to unite Lee and Staci.

A kiss by the newlywed couple sealed the ceremony.

And the new family of six headed back to the shore amid strains of "Arriva derche Roma" and "Baby of Mine" from the soundtrack from Dumbo. There was a little bit of something for everyone.
