These pictures were from four years ago when Suzie and Megan got married. The plan (with our wholehearted approval) was to have a destination formal wedding in Hawaii with family and a few friends. And prior, have a send-off party locally where they could invite lots of people. Believe it or not, that is a LOT cheaper that trying to pull off a conventional wedding here. Turned out REALLY well, Even Suzie, who can be revisionist, said that it was everything she wanted and hoped for. The party venue is a small commercial place in Georgetown. You can see Dennis and I, Suzie and I dancing and the happy couple. With their friend Meredith in the background.
But there was a catch that even I didn't know about. Turns out that if you get married in Hawaii, you have to have a Hawaii marriage license. You can't just get a license here and have the ceremony here. So, towards the end of the party, Suzie took a mike, called me and Megan's dad Dave up to the stage. I motioned Dennis to come with me. And Meredith married them legally right then and there!
My sister in law good naturedly complained, "Well if I'd know they were getting married, I would have stayed!" I replied, "I would have told you to, if I had known!"
Isn't that one of the bottom lines about parenting? Mom is always the last to know.
