A celebration doesn't just happen. First
we planned...
|
Location
And we chose lovely, friendly Bolinas Beach for the ceremony. It's just an
hour's drive from home (for those who know the way!) and where we've spent many
happy hours.
(Of course, it also meant that we had to carry load after load of supplies
to the beach.)

Minister
We asked our dear friend, Ponchie, an ordained minister and
Cherokee shaman, to officiate. At first, he said he couldn't because he had already
committed to be somewhere else. When he squeezed us into his schedule, we were
so pleased!.

 |
Support
We invited all of our family and asked our daughters, Samantha
and Shelly, to stand up with us and be our formal Witnesses...
|
 |
|
 |
...and we asked JJ's mother, Cheryl, and Mish's father, Jim,
to stand as Elders. Jim almost didn't make it. Like Ponchie, he had another engagement,
but it was cancelled so he and Helen were able to come after all.

Refreshments
We planned regular picnic fare, with weiners, etc., and food trays like these.
But our biggest worry was about "drinks or no drinks." We settled on
bottled water, a lot of soft drinks and a few bottles of beer and wine coolers
for our non-AA guests.
