The Power Vested in Me

So today I drove up to Sausalito and Christine and I went to San Rafael to the Civic Center so I could be given the title of Deputy Commissioner for the day. Some of you may know the building from such films as THX 1138 (1969) and Gattaca (1997) which were shot on location in the Marin Center. In addition, the buildings (especially those in the fairgrounds) served as a direct inspiration to those of the planet Naboo in Star Wars. An hour later we had the paperwork and I was legally qualified to officiate a wedding. Yee-haw!

Christine really wanted to get married at the beach and Genia just wanted her to be happy. I took on the minimal role of spiritual advisor and made sure there was proper communication between the couple and with their kids. TIt turned out to be a bigger role than I thought, but an hour later we were on the road to Rodeo Beach. A beautiful ride with a beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge. And then a walk down to the beach.


After some vowing, ring exchanges, tokens of clementines, kisses and the throwing of sunflower seeds, another couple entered wedded bliss.

So after catering 2 weddings, serving as a wedding planner for one and being a bridesmaid in 6 ceremonies (all still married!!) I got a promotion today.

Deputy Commissioner-for-a-Day over and out.
