The Wedding

The big ceremony went off without a hitch Saturday, and I married my lady love Sandy. The Wayfarers Chapel has to be one of the most beautiful spots in the world, truly wonderful, and having all our friends and family gather there for the event was a spiritual treat of the first order. I found myself being overwhelmed with emotions as the ceremony proceeded. At last, the minister pronounced us and then presented Mr. and Ms. David Clark to the gathering. One of the best features of our wedding was having four (countem' -- Four!!) grandchildren ages 3 up to 6 taking part in the service. Also a part were Sandy's two children (her daughter Andrea was matron of honor), and my twin daughters Lynne & Michelle as well. After the photographer did his number (and I promise to post one or two pictures), the whole wedding party rode in best man Joe Mac's big motor home all the way from Rancho Palos Verdes back to Orange County. It's a great way to travel to a wedding -- kinda' like a big, freeway-traveling party itself. We then went for a delightful party at Joe's Garage (www.joesgarage.com -- no relation to my best man), alcohol free and sugar free, with family and friends. Our day was special, spiritual, and fitting to start another part of our journey in life. With hope and honor and love, plus a good measure of the Serenity Prayer, we plan to be around and together a long time. Thank you all for being there and offering support. Dave
