A Perfect Wedding
November 5 marked the perfect wedding of Stephen Chappell and Kathie Chan. Becky and I flew out to California November 1. We stayed at Kimberly‘s place until Friday, when we went up to the Doug and Carla Chan Farm for the wedding rehearsal. We stayed at their place Friday and Saturday night, as did Jeffrey and Gahan. Our new inlaws, the Chans, were perfect hosts. I was running a camcorder during the rehearsal and the wedding, and so don’t have very many photos to post. Been working on transferring the 8mm camcorder tape to digital format for a DVD. Later I’ll go through what photos I have and see if some might be suitable to post here. Hmm, might be possible to even do a streaming excerpt from the video! Jeff and Gahan were shooting snapshots like crazy, so I’m sure there are lots of good wedding pics, and they also got some digi-videos we’re looking forward to seeing.
The main thing is, it really was a perfect wedding. Steve and Kathie seem perfect together, and it just carried over to everything about the wedding.
Kathie says:
What makes a perfect wedding perfect? It’s perfection only if everyone is happy. There was not one sad person in that entire wedding, and that made it perfect. We’re so glad that we could share happiness with so many friends and family! Thanks, Chappells, for welcoming me into your family!
John says:
I should have written more “reflections on our son’s perfect wedding” but I was afraid it’d get too long and become maudlin. Still, it can’t hurt to say how much we love our daughter-in-law. I don’t really like tacking on “in-law”, because our feelings aren’t like they’ve been forced on us just because our son married her. Getting to know her, we couldn’t help falling in love with her, too; and her family.
Trying to get the tape transferred to DVD I’m getting to watch it a lot, over and over, but it’s great over and over, except the parts I’m in. I think I finally have a disk to mail! Woo-hoo!
You might notice I made a couple of small edits on the wedding site; just the home page and the “when” page. Instead of a count-down, now it’s a count-up (?).
