Wedding Update

June 23, 2013 By Mike Rinder 27 Comments

wedding

 

A quick update — we don’t have official wedding photos yet. This shot was taken by Karen DelaCarriere. Many friends were in attendance, quite a number of whom are still here. It was a thoroughly enjoyable time, and its still ongoing. 

Thanks to all who have sent such kind messages. They mean a lot. We truly feel that the most important thing in the world after family is our friends. And we are blessed with an abundance of wonderful ones.

    Beautiful picture and setting. I don’t know you and Christie, but I have followed Marty’s blog for years and now your blog. I am very happy that you have found peace and joy. Thank you for all you do to keep us informed. Well Done and I’ll raise a glass of cheer for the future!

    What a gorgeous wedding! Congratulations to you both 🙂
    It makes my heart sign to see two people who the phony “church”
    of $cientology tries (and fails each time) to slime…..to see them
    in such a lovely marriage, surrounded by SO many wonderful
    friends. This shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that not only IS there
    life outside of this organization pretending to be a “church”…there is
    great happiness too.

    My blessings and love to you both
    and all of the friends, too.
    Tory/Magoo

    Mike, you look prosperous and happy. Christie looks, well…dynamite.
    You’re with a very happy bunch of SPs (special people). Can’t wait to see the ‘official’ wedding photos, all properly captioned so we know who’s who.
