Shando’s best friend since fourth grade came to visit us from Washington DC. We were honored to have him as Shando’s best man. He was an amazing guest. We dragged him to Point Isabel. You can faintly see the Golden Gate Bridge behind Shando and him. He’s also featured in a lot of wedding photos. This was actually my first time meeting him, although met a huge number of his extended family when we would visit Shando and his hometown in Bucyrus, Ohio.
Fun fact: Twenty years to the month before Joe and Shando got married, we attended Jennifer Holliday’s 1997 New Year’s Eve performance at Splash Bar. We were oblivious to each other’s presence until a few years ago. Then, on the drive to the wedding, Joe mentioned this to Brian, Shando’s best man, who Joe had never met before, and he mentioned he was also at the event (with Shando)! To think, we all could have been next to each other without knowing what was to come!

We joined 1% of the world population that has been in a submarine and encountered a family of geckos obsessed with our condensation, a wild warthog in the lot next door.
Fresh haircuts for the Yorkies!
