Across the water from Seattle is a place called Bremerton

We got in a little after lunch today. We had a nice ride over on the ferry. We got to the hotel and hung out with Uncle James, Grandma, Jay, and Nan. The Keany family is a hilarious group, I am very fortunate to be related to such a funny and life-loving family. Today was the day when Margot Grace Du Bey and Travis James Keany were to be wed. The wedding started around 6 p.m. with beautiful violin music. The ceremony was an interreligious one, with elements of both Christian and Jewish religions. It was very unique and very beautiful. The wedding ceremony was followed by some refreshments and then dinner and dancing. It was a wonderful time to get to sit and talk with relatives, who for my whole life I have only heard about. It was great to get to meet them in person. Now I can finally put faces with names, and I cannot wait for the next time that we all get together, be it another wedding or the next family reunion. Dad and I are waking up early to get some breakfast, say some final goodbyes, and catch the ferry back over, so that is all for now. Overall, I have had a fantastic day, full of celebration, fun, family, and plenty of laughter.
