ALLRIGHT ALREADY *

Bowing to the wishes of my reading public (aka the fam), I will continue my storytelling, but on a more limited basis. O.K.?
APRIL 30, 1988
The BIG DAY was here. Henry and Joy were united in marriage at the Huguenot Road Baptist Church in Richmond, Virginia. Co-pastors, Lon Solomon (McLean Bible Church, Virginia) and John Ware (Hillcrest Baptist Church - Oklahoma) officiated at the ceremony.

Having sold my home in McLean, Virginia, I moved in with dear daughter for two and one half months, with all of my furniture, which became her furniture.

Joy planned the wedding/reception and I planned our three-week honeymoon trip to Ireland.
April 30th was a beautifully sunny Saturday. Our wedding party consisted of our five grandchildren. Joy was able to find four matching dresses for the girls, who carried flowers, while our grandson, the ring bearer, looked handsome in his blazer and trousers.

Everything went off without a hitch. The buffet and cake were beautiful and our time at the microphone, wearing our Irish headpieces, was a blast.

Our Oklahoma children drove us to the Richmond airport where we enplaned to Ireland, via New York City.

May the first was a VERY UNUSUAL DAY, to say the least.

More, later.
