| SHELL ISLAND WEDDING - 08/28/00On Monday, August 28th, a private wedding ceremony was held at Shell Island. Mike, his dad Tom and our next door neighbor, Captain Scott Pownall drove Mike's 28' Skater from Mike's house to Shell Island. Mike and the guys made it to the island in about 15 minutes. Our neighbors across the street, Perry and Charlotte Rohland were the best man and maid of honor. They drove their Aquasport from home to Billy's Stone Crab & Steakhouse Restaurant then shuttled the rest of the wedding party to Shell Island (a 5-minute ride). Leslie's mom Carol and her husband Martin Randall decorated the location of the ceremony on Shell Island with arches with purple and white balloons. Perry went back to the dock at Billy's and picked up Leslie and Charlotte. Then the wedding took place. After the wedding, Carol Fox and Martin Randall hosted a wonderful dinner party at Billy's Restaurant. A good time was had by all!
STARLITE PRINCESS WEDDING & RECEPTION - 09/02/00On Saturday, September 2, 2000 we had a public wedding and great reception on the Starlite Princess Riverboat with 85 guests! The boat is actually propelled by it's paddle. We took a nice leisurely 3.5 hour cruise from Pasadena out to the Shell Island area and back. The top deck was open air and provided a great view of the area. Mike decorated the bubble bottles and glass jars filled with Jelly Bellies himself. The captain of the boat performed the ceremony, then guests dined on appetizers and their choice of entrees. The drinks flowed and some people danced to the live band. All the flowers were done by our friend John Lovell of Lou's Florist. They did an especially wonderful job with the cake! The cake was topped with a layer of Wild Turkey flavored cheesecake. The other layers were Amaretto, Mocha Kahlua and White Chocolate Raspberry cheesecake from Le Cheesecake.
