Leslie and Art Get Married
October 11, 2003
I've known Leslie and Art Hill for more years than I can count. We were all
part of the San Diego printing industry when I moved here in 1984 and they still
are, but I'm not. Regardless of my current status, I was invited
to their wedding and what a wedding it was. They found this very cool place in
Temecula that was so far off the beaten path that the path beat up my car.
Really... no joke. My suspension left pieces on the side of the road.
Once we got there, it was a wonderfully staged event. Because it was a
printing industry affair, they wouldn't let any of us have any booze before the
ceremony because they wanted us to be able to sit upright. It worked. If you
know anything about printing industry people, you know that that was no small
trick.
Here are some shots of the ceremony. Pay particular attention to the dove
incident. It shows how desperate some people must be to get married. They'll
do anything, including animal tricks.
(As usual, click on the
little picture to see the big picture.)
They exchanged vows that they each wrote. Art had a few words. |
"Is this for real?" Leslie asks. |
"Can this be for real?" Leslie asks. |
"Do you believe this?" Leslie asks. |
Leslie's few words fit on a file card. |
Even their daughter got into the act. She did a great job and made
several people in our row cry. |
 |
Some, no, most women will do almost anything for jewelry. |
"I now pronounce you ... blah, blah, blah..." |
She: "I'm pretty sure we're married." |
She: "No shit... we're married!" |
He: "Finally, we get to make out in public!" |

| There
is apparently some deep significance to the dove ceremony. I never listen
too carefully to these things and missed the explanation. If you are
planning to get married in the future, you can call Leslie and ask. It
looked like she didn't have as much fun as Art did. She looked like I
imagine Tippi Hedren felt in The Birds.
I figure that if you can survive starting your marriage
with a brush with wild animals then everything else is down hill from
there. It must be the matrimonial equivalent of the old proverb that says,
"If you start each morning by eating a live frog, nothing worse
can happen to you all day." |
He: "Honestly, this squirmy thing is
kinda cool."
She: "Did anyone tell me about
this?" |
He: Hey... this is really fun!
She: I wonder if it is too late...?" |
He: "Come on, honey... try it."
She: "No, I'll pass." |
He: "He He He!"
She: "Sh.. Sh.. Sh.. can I break this thing?" |
He: "Ready, set, Go!" |
"Anddddddd, They're Off!" |
 |
 |
She: "Glad they didn't poop on the dress."
He: "Glad they didn't shit on the tux!" |

The fun and frolic portion of
the evening |
"That Ron sure can talk!" |
All the toasts were good. |
Once again she makes people cry. This is some cool kid. |
"Hey guys, Get a room!" |
Good food, good fun, good people... what more
would you want than this? Oh yeah, a trip to the Bahamas... never mind. |
"Oh Hi!!!!!" That Maria is such a cut-up, dontchatink? Who's
the ringleader here? |
She sure lights up a room, doesn't she! |
