Gone to the Chapel

    Christina and I celebrated our ceremonial wedding yesterday with a mass/service at her parish church.  The officiating priest was a retired Bundeswehr chaplain who lived in the States from 1986-1991.  He performed most of the excellent ceremony in English, for the benefit of the five out of about a hundred people (one of them being the groom).  It was entirely beautiful.  I think the last time I was exactly that happy was the day I graduated from pilot training.
