Yesterday saw the union of cdwfs & zorker in Malibu. They did me the great honor of asking me to officiate. This being my fourth, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. Even the things that didn't go smoothly went smoothly. As with Isildur in the aftermath of the Battle of Gladden Fields, the ring-bearer was betrayed by the one ring (but not the ( Read more... )

The one from my grandfolks had some of grandpa's tie pins, including a nice Egyptian one bought at the Tut exhibit in the 70's. There was also some jewelry made by grandma for Becca.
