Good friend Don has been a major character in my writings writings here from the get-go, mainly because he’s a pretty big part of my life. For those of you who have read about his past exploits or are lucky enough to know him personally, you know that Don tends to do things on the spur of the moment.
Like getting married for example.
Now the news of the actual marriage doesn’t come from out of the blue. In fact, that cat was let out of the bag well over a year ago. But since that fateful night there have been breakups, reconciliation, a child being born — lots of life altering shit. When Don and Mary started living together and raising their family, you knew this was going happen sooner or later.
In typical Donahue style, the event was announced with a brief phone call about a week or so before the actual day.
The wedding itself was held at Point Pleasant boro hall, with services performed by the mayor. It was straight to the point, but still filled with the same amount of emotional matter that you’d get at a regular church wedding, sans boredom. It was also a chance for me to catch up with a few friends I had no idea would even be there, such as John and Mabry who had come in from Florida for other more dower reasons and were treated to this more joyous event before they left.
Congrats to you both, Don and Mary. May you and your ever-growing family get the best from life.
