Married off the Second Son in sunny Southern California Saturday; lovery event, zero drama from the ex and her family, and got to spend some quality time with my brother and Darling Wife's cousin and his partner.

First photo (above) has Second Son and his bride; also got two of my four grandkids (ring bearer and flower girl) and my wholly estranged daughter (who was the wedding photographer - plenty of opportunity for drama, but we all managed to act like adults!).

Also got some beach time in with Darling Wife, Kidlet (and his fiancee - they're getting hitched in May)......


And my far too seldom seen Big Brother:



Cousin Julian (Ma's cousin) and his partner Rob:


And, since this has now officially turned into an obnoxiously photo-laden post, why not: the pre-wedding impromptu dinner:
