Well, I thought I’d share a few pics from my son’s wedding, over a week ago, now. None are pics I took, but taken mostly from Adam and Kim’s friend AnnMarie off her Facebook page…

First up, the chairs arrayed on the beach in readiness, the Hotel del Coronado in the background.

Next, the entrance of the parents of the groom. This wedding procedure was a bit different from those I am familiar with. First the groomsmen entered from the walkway back by the hotel and took up position near the archway/altar, whose shadow shows in the lower right corner of the above picture. Then the mother of the bride entered with her husband and son on either side. Next, Adam and Stu escorted me on either side.

This is the picture where I look like I’m in a trance, being pulled up the aisle by my escorts. Stu thinks he  looks like he works for the FBI. 🙂

Lastly, again from AnnMarie’s cell phone, a picture of the ceremony itself, the arch, the groomsmen, the ocean in the background. That’s Stu and I in the front row. Beautiful view!

It looked pretty much like this from my seat — particularly the groomsmen being in silhouette. Add in the breeze, the ever-crashing surf, far enough away it didn’t intrude, and the occasional helicopter passing overhead to land at the Naval base and you have a good sense of what it was like. Her dress was beautiful, as I think I’ve said, though it doesn’t show up really at all in this shot…

Tomorrow I plan to get up early and get to work on Sky. Been reading about the Dome of the Rock and the Six-Days-War as research…
