Lots Of News This Weekend

As you might expect, this is a big weekend coming up.

Yeah, Catherine and I fly off to meet my sisters and brother and their children, plus a couple of adventures while there.

But now there's a new twist. Another happy twist. (Seems as if that's been happening a lot in my life, doesn't it?)

Daughter Aimee Rebecca Kohn and her longtime boyfriend Luis Nunez will become man and wife this weekend. (See two previous posts below.) It's a long story but let's just say for now that they'd been talking about it for a long time and pulled the trigger, so to speak, a couple weeks ago. They planned to do a civil ceremony at the courthouse but we wouldn't think of it. (Hmm, come to think of it, Catherine and I thought of it 28 years ago, when we did just that in April 1980.)

So, within a week of being notified of their intentions, they'll be married by a good friend of theirs. The wedding will be religion-neutral; the party will be at my house.

It truly will be a family affair. Daughter Kim, who officiated at Jenny and Chris' wedding in December, is baking the tiered cake and doing the decorations by hand. Catherine becomes Chef Catherine, with much help -- maybe even a leading role as chef -- from Kim, as well.

OK, so, we have a wedding, Father's Day, then fly-off-to-meet-your-family-day. Not bad for a weekend.

There'll be photos and video from the wedding here soon after the nuptials are completed.

Meantime, Catherine and I have shopped for the trip, done some packing and are ready to go.
