Rather silly, but fun. After we were married, Marion and I walked down the aisle to Duke Ellington’s “Take The A Train”

After we were married we walked back to James Brown's "I Feel Good" It was on a boat cruising around Marina Del Rey. My favorite wedding was in 1985 when my friend, the groom, threw up during the ceremony. He missed his soon-to-be wife but hit the minister. Ahhhh memories.

We had both been married and divorced, so we decided to do something different the second time around. I wouldn't call it eloping, since we hired a wedding coordinator (who was amazing). She was from Positano, but lived in Rome. So, she organized everything from there. It was just Stacey and I and it was truly one of the best moments of my life. However, getting married in a foreign country does come with it's challenges. We not only had to file paperwork with the Italian Consulate here in Texas. There's an office in Dallas, but instead, we had to go to Houston, with two witnesses. We borrowed a van and road tripped to Houston, where we spent about 30 minutes in front of the Consulate making pledges, signing paperwork and not much more. Then, when we arrived in Italy, we had to spend a couple of days in Naples so we could go to the US Embassy and file more paper work there. From there, it took 5 days to get approved, so we spent part of our honeymoon before getting married. Though we didn't have guests at the wedding, we were made to feel very important. The mayor of Positano lead our ceremony and the Italian people made Stacey feel like a princess as we walked through the town (with our photographer and videographer). They love weddings and the most macho of men were yelling blessings and best luck wishes. The little children were yelling, "bellissima" (beautiful) to my wife. It was really an amazing experience and as far as weddings go, very different. My favorite wedding was when Stacey and I got married in Positano, Italy.
