Ryan the Romantic - Dec 2003

Ryan was one of seven hardy souls who braved a 10 degree, wind chill of minus something, night in December 2003 to join in my wedding ceremony at Red Arrow Park. I remember so clearly that actually, Ryan led the march that night from the Legal Action offices over to the park, carrying the champagne - although he was on the wagon, and huddling in while Mary T read the vows and we repeated them. In fact, earlier that day, something had come up with Mary (I think her daughter was sick with a fever) and Ryan had stepped up to the plate and volunteered to get ordained online if for some reason Mary wasnt able to make it that night. I know without a doubt he would have done a great and memorable ceremony...

He had a romantic soul. There is an emptyness and a void that his absence brings now, that is the reflection of the fullness and joy that he brought us when he was here...

(BTW, the picture looks like me and Ginger getting married, actually Paul's nose of off to the far left...)
