Nanci, yours truly, and my two young ones – Lillian and Daniel – as we recede down the aisle following the wedding ceremony.
Having broached the subject of love, I would beg your indulgence for the second time this summer as I wax personal.
On Saturday, September 21st – 85 days after my eldest daughter Rachel tied the knot – it was my turn: I married a magnificent woman named Nanci Tucker at the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley, California. Thus does the period my widowhood end, to which I say good freakin’ riddance.
Nanci is tackling a tough gig. Having moved out of her condo/loft in a hipper-than-hip south-of-Market San Francisco location, she has moved into my (now officially OUR) house in the hills of Oakland, here to deal with the demands of a husband and two young children (to say nothing for the evil commute back across San Francisco Bay to her place of work not far from the Pacific Ocean).
Nanci is equal to all challenges. A pediatrician by trade (I told her I would have preferred a mechanic or a plumber, but then again she can write perscriptions), she has already made our lives so much more joyful and complete that it is impossible to imagine life without her. So color me happy, satisfied, and humbled, words that do not trip easily from my lips.
Mazel Tov Bob, Nanci, Lillian the budding pianist & Daniel!
This was without a doubt, one of the most blissful and joyous weddings we have ever attended. Bob was ebullient, and managed to slip a few hysterical comments out of the Chuppah. Nanci, a stunning bride, and Lillian and Daniel, their adorable and exceptionally intelligent children, all reveled in the magic. If there ever was a “fairy tale” wedding, this was it. All our love and best wishes to this beautiful new family.
