Hannah Shaw and David Castellanos picked just the right day of the week for their marriage ceremony: Â Monday! Â Their chosen venue, Seal Beach near the Reef Cafe and jetty, was quite vacant for a beautiful mid-day in July, and their thirty guests had an excuse for an extended weekend, spending the day with this delightful couple. Â The Rev Dr Gary Barmore of Great Officiants made his way across the sand, donned his clergy robe, and led a ceremony that David and Hannah as well as their parents (pictured), family and friends found inspiring for the happy couple and their own lives as well. Â Dr. Barmore has oft noted that weddings are now one of the few times people actually sit/stand still — not in front of a screen, game or TV but in the presence of a loving event — Â and that the couple thus offers folks around them a great opportunity to reflect on life and love and make re-commitment to deep relationships.
