Ralf Berensau and Ann-Marie Carlson were pronounced “Ehemann und Ehefrau” amidst the fairytale setting of Tivoli Terrace in Laguna Beach the evening of November 6 in a marriage ceremony led by Rev. Dr. Gary Barmore. Ralf, a German national and Mercedes-Benz executive, met Ann-Marie when his job brought him to California. They are setting up house in Germany, but the future may well witness their return to the USA. After meeting with Rev. Gary, they knew that he would construct with them the perfect ceremony and lead it with depth and zest. They are very happy that Great Officiants provided them with the his name and contact information. (In an interesting aside, Rev. Gary and his wife dined this past week with Nate (American) and Gerlinda (German) that he married twenty-five years ago and who were visiting from their home in Germany).
