Marc and I had a wonderful weekend in Monterey attending Suzanne and Mark's wedding. I am posting a few pictures , though I am a terrible photographer. I am sure Ken and other LCTers will be posting more (and better)pictures.

Suzanne and Mark make a wonderful couple and seem so happy. It was a fantastic weekend.

What fun to see, Arlene! Thanks so much; even though I've never personally met any of you, I feel like a part of the LCT family. I knew the wedding date was imminent and I'm delighted to see the pix!

Congratulations to the happy couple!

:lct:

Great pics! Congrats, Suzanne and Mark!!

Arlene, Thanks so much for posting the wonderful Suzanne's wedding pix. It was so much fun to see them!

Congratulations to Suzanne and Mark. Loved seeing the wedding pics. Thanks for posting them, Arlene. What a special event for all.

Great pictures Arlene - looks like a great time was had by all. <img src="http://smileys.sm...i%253D36%252F36_3_28/image.gif">

Great pictures, Arlene! The LCT rules on Suzanne's car window made me laugh!

Karen that was Michael's idea and I laughed too.... we needed to let them know who was responsible!

Terrific Pics! I wish much happiness to the new couple! Were there honeymoon plans or were they top secret!

One of our own in marital bliss. It doesn't get any better than that.

Cheers to the honeymooners!

Suzanne - a beautiful wedding in every aspect.
Mark - you are one lucky man to have Suzanne as your bride.
My best to you both.

Congratulations Suzanne and Mark.
Thank you for the pictures Arlene!
Looks like you kept our LCT standards in tack. :app: :lct:

Suzanne...congrats to you and Mark and best to you both.

Arlene, thanks for posting the pictures.

Sue,

They are spending Christmas on the PG!

Suzanne certainly makes a beautiful bride. Best wishes.

Those are great pictures, Arlene - congratulations and best wishes to Suzanne and Mark!

What a wonderful happening! Congratulations to Suzanne and Mark!

The pictures are beautiful, too.

This was a very special wedding in so many ways.

For one thing in California anyone can be certified for one day to perform a legal wedding. One of Suzannes best friends officiated over the ceremony. That made the ceremony very personal. Suzanne and Mark said some wonderful things to each other and the tears were flowing.

The country club was beautiful and all decorated for Christmas and the food was really good too. The band was a beatles band that really got everyone one up and dancing. We had a fabulous time.

Mark is a great guy and they are so happy, it is such a joy to see them together. Sharing in a special day like this was something I am so glad we did not miss.

Ken will post some pictures in the next few days.

Wishing the bride and groom many years of happiness and cruising together!

Thanks for the pics - they are lovely!

Pat & I are back home from a wonderful week-end of LCTing.

Suzanne was radiant. Mark dove fearlessly into the deep end with our group of rowdy revelers and more than held his own, in terms of great humor, great drinking, and great carousing. But, most importantly, he and our dear friend are quite remarkably happy together.

Amazingly, the country club served perfectly medium rare lamb chops to a large group. Ngaire was happy, as all of us who took the lamb chop option were. Okay, okay, it was Pebble Beach, where they're supposed to do these things right. None-the-less, we were quite happy with the excellent grub.

Ah, the dancing... Frankly, in our LCT experience, it was pretty much the best since PIP on the PG in 2005. Everyone (except for Pat, who was taking pictures) was on the dance floor. Suzanne (who did not, in fact, ever morph into Suzette - hmm, maybe part of the new phase of life, with no extravagant hair tossing) danced with her usual abandon and charm, giving all of us a moment of dancing time with her.

As the victim of way, way too many Sambucas, I must admit that the latter part of the event, when wedding guests were fighting for taxis back to Carmel (Lordie, memories of the "Battle of the Boot Room" on the Hanseatic on POP), is a bit foggy; but I do attest that we made it back to the hotel.

In a few days, Suzanne & Mark are off to Papeete to board the Paul Gauguin. We wish them Bon Voyage for this cruise and for their new life together. (OK, Ngaire, you can cry now!!)

Cheers, Fred

Suzanne and Mark...BEST wishes. Thank you to Arlene and all of our LCT friends for sharing in the celebration. It is always so wonderful to bask in the happiness of others.

Thank you Arlene for the photos.

May I add my best wishes to the happy couple - would it be inappropriate to say 'may all your troubles be little ones'? Lee

I'm home! The wedding was a Grand Affair and the halls were decked with LCT'ers. I'll post photo's when I stop bobbing & weaving. Olivia & I were the last stragglers to leave in the cold & rain so give me a few hours to find my camera and download. It was bittersweet to greet and connect with our loving LCT family and I'll miss them all...so hard to say good-bye.
Our greatest thrill was meeting Mark and seeing our Suzanne so happy!

Everyone looks great, especially the bride and groom.

Congratulations, Suzanne. Have a wonderful honeymoon!

Congratulations Suzanne and Mark.

If there was no Suzette, then there was no pole dancing, I assume?

Congratulations Suzanne and Mark!

May you enjoy many happy times together. A honeymoon on the PG is a great way to start!!

Here is the poem that Anne pulled together in just a few minutes and read at the wedding. Anne and Gary our resident poets!!

Suzanne's our best pal
And a huge fan of Cal
We toured the Middle East
Ahhh .. it was so sweet!

Then we heard - to our delight
Mark was 'the man' and treating her right
Today is a real WOW!
Because Mark and Suzanne made their vows
Please join us in a cheer
For their happiness throughout the years

Congrats Suzanne and Mark...........we were with you every minute in spirit...just so sad that we couldn't see you in person. I can't tell you how it warms my heart to see that picture in your beautiful cobalt blue dress....exactly what I imagined. You look beautiful. Yes, Mark is onle lucky guy... enjoy the PG
love,
C&D

I've just gotten home from the wedding! What a fantastic weekend sharing such a happy occasion with Suzanne and Mark, and so many LCT friends!
Hope this link to my pictures works.

I would have sent just a few, but don't know how to post directly to the thread.

Fantastic photos Olivia!

It was a darn good party if I say so myself!!

I am so privileged to have so many loving friends and family to have shared this day with me. I know I should be packing for our honeymoon tomorrow, but...

Here is a link to Mark and me exchanging our wedding vows. I hope it works. My new niece Katrina took the video and it is on her Facebook page under "Mark and Suzanne's wedding".
Watch me mess up what I wanted to say here.

All the photos are great! Happiness is radiating from my computer screen. Happy honeymooning, Suzanne and Mark.

Cant find that page "Mark and Suzanne's wedding" on the video. Anyone else able to get there?

Ngaire, I think you have to have a Facebook acct. I do but to see the video, you have to ask to become a friend of Katrina's. I didn't want to scare by requesting to add me as one of her friends as she doesn't know me!

I think Karen is right.

I have downloaded it to my computer and they are sending me a CD, so will try and figure it out when we return.

It was fun to see it today and listen to the giggles and "Aw's" as we exchanged our words to each other.

Off to pack...

I tried too, and since I am not a member of Facebook, can't get it! Not sure I want to put myself out there!

Have to say, what I am REALLY looking forward to are Ken's photo's of the wedding! Alerted the lady cordinator, and she told me "he can sit or stand anywhere he wants to!"

Goes for me to Olivia.... I know his will be fantastic!

BRAVO to all the photographers! I really feel transported to the beautiful locales (been a long time!) and to the big event itself. Thank you!

Thanks for all the wonderful pictures - "Mark and Suzanne" it looked like a fairy tale wedding and so wish we could have celebrated with you and the wonderful gang that flew in to show their love and support - have a great honeymoon -
