In a strange turn of events MEB met Gail and I at our house (is this first time she has ever been south of the WMNF?) just before 2:00PM (a very late start for me) so she could follow us to Sudbury for the big event. Traffic was light and we made it to the trailhead in plenty of time.
For those of you who did not know, Frank (Dr. Wu) and Jess were married yesterday in a very nice ceremony at the Wayland Inn. I was very happy to be invited and was thrilled to be able to read a poem at the service. I am sure you are all wondering…it did not rain (until well after dinner!) The Justice of the Peace mentioned that it was the first Saturday there in six weeks that stayed dry through the afternoon – a lot like my recent hikes.
Jess had wore a beautiful wedding dress and Frank was stylin’ in a three-piece Calvin Klein suit – I thought it was a Marmot, but I was mistaken. I am glad Frank did not shave or I may not have recognized him!
Obviously, we were seated at the “Hiker’s Table” that included Jessbee and her friend Tom, Lindsay (sleeping bear), Mary Ellen (MEB), Best Man Eric (Barbarossa), Julie (timmus) and her partner John (or is it Jean?), and Tom (Dalraida/hillwalker), Gail and me. We all had a great time talking with everyone and meeting a few new friends. We got further evidence of timmus’ immense artistic talents as she was enlisted by Frank to make the rather hilarious wedding program. It was nice to read the bios of the friends and family and it was nice to see that Frank and Jess are surrounded by over achieving super heroes with incredible powers!
I also had a great time discussing some of Tom’s bushwhacks with him…ah, someday. The finer points of hard rock and heavy metal were discussed with John when we debated the finer nuances like “which Iron Maiden singer was the best one?” Frank acted as DJ and created a nice mix of dance music that included something for everyone – even “Dead or Alive!”
Congratulations to Frank and Jess and we all wish you a lifetime of happiness!
