August 28, 2005 - Unions and Reunions
(PHOTOS TO FOLLOW - SORRY)
King and Lynne were married yesterday. Some things are just right.
The day started foggy as most mornings are in on the Northern California coast. Lynne and King had picked out Greyhound Roc, a spectacular location. It was a steep walk down to the beach from the street and each trip with arm loads of equipment and supplies made the path seem even longer. Many friends pitched in to shuttle the loads and I can honestly say that I believe no one regretted helping. It was wonderful to be part of such an effort.
Guests arrived just as the fog was burning off. The skies lit up in golden sunshine over a background of deep blue. Even a sea otter or two crashed the party. Picnicking was the plan for the day and friends brought spectacular spreads. There was more food that could be consumed, even though there was an organized effort at the end of the day to attempt to do so.
Lynne and King planned a lovely day with their friend, John, a minister, officiating. I met John only a few months ago on a trip to Joshua Tree. He is a soft-spoken individual. What struck me immediately was his lovely fathering of his daughter, “Bear”. He opened the World for her, and always with a gentle word.
Lynne’s friend, Laura, was kind as well. She was an attentive and thoughtful “Best Woman” to Lynne. I was quite concerned that I would “mess up” things as King’s Best Man. I know that King would never fault me for forgetting anything but I never would want to let King down, either. Laura and I kept each other company as we felt our way through our “responsibilities”.
There was much laughter and some tears of joy throughout the day. The affaire was simple compared to many weddings but the love shared by all yesterday was boundless.
I wish Lynne and King the best in all of their adventures together. King is a true friend…I believe that if there is any justice in this World, his life should be filled with true happiness; And, my gut says that yesterday, he took one step closer to getting there.
