Rev. Ralph enjoyed a lovely day and a wonderful group of family and friends as he presided over the nuptials of Leslie & William, on the bridge over the koi pond at the beautiful Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden at Cal State Long Beach on Saturday afternoon, June 25.
The garden is a somewhat unusual setting, in that the guests are seated in several small areas around the garden some distance from the ceremony itself. An excellent P.A. system made up for the enlarged space, and a joyful experience was had by all.
The next day, Leslie and William wrote a very nice note:
Dear Rev. Ralph, Thank you so much for officiating our wedding. Your warm demeanor and flexibility made us so comfortable! We are grateful to have had you be a part of our special day.
