Chelsea, so good to know you and Anthony are safely returned from your honeymoon. I wish I could be with you in PA (Stuart will be), but I have a conference in LA that weekend. I certainly will see you in Tulsa, however. I really look forward to exploring the place that formed you and means so much to you and your family.

Thanks so much for this, Shirley, and everything!!! I loved that toast, and it was wonderful to be able to read it again. I teared up! We are really looking forward to seeing you all again in two weeks in PA and three weeks in OK.

@Susan. Thanks for offering another Forrest Church connection. This man's life is so connected to others! And thanks for your appreciation of the slide show. These things to take time to make, and the reward comes from knowing that others enjoy them and that they will preserve family history. Call it my form of scrapbooking, although I make scrapbooks also. Maybe another blog post??

@Sonia. You are going to experience three amazing weddings yourself some day, and you will be a great Mother of the Groom every time. One big benefit--daughters!

@Betty. Thanks for chiming in. I miss your blog, but I'm so grateful you are still reading mine.

They will have a happy marriage and how nice of you to welcome Chelsea into your family with so much love. I almost cried as I thought of myself, one day going through the same as you with my son. Thanks for sharing.

I loved the story, the toast, and the slide shows! I can see how happy everyone was at the wedding. Coincidentally, Forrest Church was a friend of my sister's at Stanford, and I met him at a Unitarian meeting. He profoundly affected some parishioners at our Unitarian Society who came from New York. Though the others were good, I found your slides most informative, especially with everyone's names attached.
