The next generation ties the knot!!
On November 15, 2003, Antony Nash and Courtney Bolin FINALLY got married! Our
interest in this lovely event is simple: the groom before the wedding, and the
bride after, are family!
They've been dating on and off since High School, mostly on, and Antony had
attained the advanced age of 29. So marriage was clearly on the cards.
One of the problems with having such a large family is that
we Stock-Bruns
are all hard to invite together. We understand, although we do wish that the
cost of modern social events was less prohibitive.
This was a no children wedding, but as you can see from this lovely photo
taken after a well lubricated rehearsal dinner, we got around that silly rule
for two of ours, Nick and Tom, the groom's older cousins
in our household.
It was about midnight. Antony, the groom, is in the middle between a very
relaxed Nick and Tom. Although the fellow behind is swinging his handbag, he is
definitely not the bride!
Here she is, on the right, with her groom and the minister. This was a part of the
ceremony. The wedding took place on a lawned terrace overlooking the ocean at
La Valencia Hotel on Prospect street in
La Jolla, north of San Diego.
We did not try to take regular wedding photos,
because a photographer who looked like a stoned Ruud Van Nistelroy was in
attendance. The photos that he and his assistant took were available for
purchase on the web for a while, but that seems to have come to an end.
Here are a few of the human interest photos that we took. . . . First, the mother of the groom and his sister, at the
rehearsal dinner, held in Coronado.
The father of the groom on the bus returning from the
rehearsal dinner to the hotel in La Jolla. Things are getting looser all
round!
Finally, here are a couple more of our likely lads!
