Default Wedding Transportation

Talking about the place in Jupiter, Fl caused me to remember a video I
had posted on YouTube years ago. Took me a while to find it again.

It's the day of my younger son's wedding. It was a hastily arranged
event because he was in the Navy at the time and he and his bride-to-be
gave us and her family about a week's notice of their intentions to be
married. They didn't want a wedding ceremony (just wanted to go to a
justice of the peace) but Mrs.E. and the bride's parents decided
otherwise.

We held it and the follow-up "party" at one of the houses we owned in
the community. I had met a guy down there who was a former military
helicopter pilot and had taken some flying lessons from him. He
offered to transport my two sons (groom and best man) to the ceremony
by helicopter. It was pretty cool.

The video is an edited version of what really happened. He "buzzed" the
area a few times with the bride and guests not knowing who was in the
helicopter. At the very end you can see my younger son looking up at a
balcony where his bride was watching.

Jim, you will remember this:

Jim told me to tell you that he got a kick out of it.
