The Wedding in the Flight Path


Greetings from sunny San Diego! This our third day here. It has been a festive weekend celebrating my cousin's wedding (Team Rajachard). It has been a grand reunion with family and friends traveling the globe to get here. Our family represented the extent of the Tennessee contingent. We have enjoyed making a lot new friends, too.

This was the best wedding we ever attended! Pam and Craig carefully planned a meaningful, elegant, and fun ceremony. They also chose some breathtaking locations in Balboa Park. The actual ceremony took place in a courtyard that was the focal point of a marathon the couple had trained for together. That it happened to be in the flight path of San Diego International Airport, with jet engine interruptions every few minutes, only served to add to the character of the wedding. The reception took place at the San Diego Natural History Museum, and it was awesome! Oliver conked out around 11PM in the arms of our aunt, but Natalie plugged on through, among the dancing, flowers, and fossils, till after midnight. "I wish I could start this day all over," she said as she got ready for bed.

We'll be seeing a lot more of San Diego over the next two weeks.
