Our son Sean married Sarah Greer, a recent convert to the church, on October 4th, 2008, on the beach in the town of Grover Beach, CA. The ceremony was conducted by their bishop, Bishop Haar of the Fresno Singles 3rd Ward which meets at the Institute of Religion across from Fresno State. Sarah was first escorted by her stepfather and then by her father who gave her away. In spite of an early morning rain shower and a ceremony conducted under cloudy skies, the wedding concluded with the sun peeking through just in time for their first kiss as husband and wife. Wedding picures were taken by Sister Amy Evans and the wife of Sean's boss who is also LDS. The honeymoon couple spent their first night in Huntington Beach followed by in the ensuing days with a cruise to three Mexican ports.

related the advice of Sarah's father (stay close to God),
the advice of Sean's mother (compromise), and some Scottish
advice based on Sean's ancestory that Sean's Dad and Aunt gave
(the husband needs to remember two words "Yes, Dear!").
