Hotel in Rye, NY

From my daily journal - May 19, 2006

The "real" marriage. The day began with breakfast at our hotel and then we drove to a mall so Helena could buy shoes. From there we drove to the courthouse in Harrison but got lost on the way. With help we found it and Jase and Meg got married in a small gazebo. We went back to the hotel and slept and changed before getting hopelessly lost on the way to the rehearsal dinner. With a policeman's help we gone there and had a good meal withlots of warmth and way too much noise. Many people spoke to the kids. I could hardly talk so I whispered my speech to Jason and he said it out loud.

2015 Note: Because Jase and Meg were being married by friends who were not official in the state of New York, they had to have an official wedding along with the big happy one we attended the following day.
