Well, he was my best friend in high school, which counted for a lot. We went down to Dana Point for the ceremony, which was held at a compass circle overlooking the marina.
It was kind of a Scottish wedding. The groom, Todd, and his family cherish their Scottish heritage, and there were several of the party in formal kilts. Jason, above, middle, was the videographer. Mom came down just for the day, as she’s known Todd all the 26 years I have. There were four of us as BFFs, and we were inseparable. High School sucked except for my three best friends (and my bad boy buddy, Chris, with whom I regularly partied my ass off, but those are other stories for other times).
He took a long time to ask Melinda to marry him, and no one is sure why he changed his mind about marriage. But they’re terrific together, and I wish them the best of luck for continued happiness together.
