ABOUT THIS WEDDING
"Greg and Debbie decided on a spur of the moment wedding and asked me to do the honors. Debbie is the sister of my wife and Greg is her long time partner. Their daughter is 25 years old and have given them a beautiful Granddaughter. Debbie also has a 37 year old daughter from a previous marriage that has given them two more grandsons. Now with all this time together in love and the family blessing they said that they were ready and didn't want to wait another day. My wife surprised them at the wedding with a video from each of the daughters says how much they loved them and given them their blessing. After a 5 hour drive from their home in Paradise, CA to our house in Seaside, Ca we went and picked up the marriage license. They wanted to do it that night in our garage but I said no, let's do it with some of our friends. After convincing them to wait until the next day we held a impromptu wedding at our local VFW. Congratulations to the lucky couple and wishing you another 27 years together. Thanks for allowing me to share your special day. Enjoy your Honeymoon in Monterey, Ca. "
