Well, it is now official. Johnsr & his lovely wife Joanne gave their daughter Christina away today to John Baronoski at the Corel Merien hotel in Puerto Plata.
Johnsr & Joanne have been visiting the Corel Merien for many years now (at least twice a year) & we have been privaledged to welcom them to our home quite a few times, so it was with great pleasure that we accepted their kind invitation to be present at the wedding & join the numerous fiends & aquaintences from The US of A plus a couple or three renegades from DR1, namely Patrick (Badpiece), Aftab (AZB) with their respective girlfriends of the day, Charlie (chuckuindie) with Tonya, AND Jess (andrea9k). Martin Espinall, who has been a regular driver for John over the years & is known by many DR1'ers, was there also as guest, with his beautiful 15 year old daughter who put us all to shame with her excellent English!! For those who have used Martin's services in the past, you might be pleased to know that he is starting up his own 'Tour Company'. I hope to be sending him a lot of business from now on!!
I am pleased to report that the weather remained good for us although both Johns & myself would have prefered a little more cooling breeze due to the fact that we had FULL suits on & were extremely HOT. Photos will doubtless follow in due course (from John's camera, AZB's or Charlie's) showing the attractive girls present & the stodgy old men who were accompanying them!!
Congratulations to Christina & John on your wedding. To Johnsr & Joanne Thank you for organising such a good get together & inviting Ginnie & I. We hope that Christina & John will be extremely happy in their married life, following the great example You both have set for them. WE (Ginnie & I) look forward to welcoming THEM down to Puerto Plata in forthcoming years either IN your company or seperately!
Now for tomorrow night's bash at Piergiorgio where we can come dressed a little more civilly for this country & let our hair (those that still have some - unlike me) down. ~ Grahame.
