Officiated #2 for my Niece !

Last month, I officiated a ceremony for my Nephew , last week for my Niece in Galveston, Texas.  Wasn't the original plan but she downsized her original wedding plans and moved the location to the coast from Louisiana.  When she heard I was doing my Nephews, I got the request which I accepted with a smile.  I may have a new business model here? Well, not everything is simple in the big picture.  Initially she asked if we could do the ceremony in the sand in front of my Beach House .. but ... I thought the home would be sold and I would be looking for a hotel room that weekend.  As it turns out, it's not ready to be put on the market yet so we are headed down to stay in the big house for the weekend.  And since this may be the last time, we invited a house full to stay with us.  Half of that was folks in the wedding party and/or attending. But, as we got closer, folks starting dropping off due to personal situations.  My daughter had to canx.  My nephew and his new bride had to

Wrote about this awhile back, when I realized you could buy Bitcoin via PayPal .. I dropped $1k in .. shot up to about $3500 .. before falling back to $2k which it is today.  Still, 100% in a year?  Not bad .. .but I'm not pulling that out.. I'll it ride for another decade. Decided to delve into the other options.  I've got somebody making me montly payments via PayPal, so I've started up with the other 3 options .. Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin.    Take several hundred a month and split it between the other three.  When they have as much as the Bitcoin account in there, I'll split it 4 ways and see how this all plays out...   they hit you with about a 2% surcharge for the transaction ...   WTF ..  let it ride! Wish me luck!  Even better ... try yours? What could go wrong? LOL

My nephew has been contemplating the marriage proposal for some time and last year, asked the big question finally!   Somewhere along the way he asked "Uncle Rick, can you marry us?"  Well a few years back I'd gotten ordained as a Dudeism Priest as a joke, but  ... was supposed to be legit.  However after he asked me, I went to the Universal Life Church Monastery where it just felt..... 'legit.' (they both are btw).  Got the certificate mailed to me, etc to make sure all was above board.   All good and ready to go! Just Take It Easy, Mankind Now the question was ... where to do this?  When?  Initially it was to be a Mexico event on the island of Cozumel but...   they have their own process and to keep this 100% legal, we chose to do this in Mississippi.  Now, it was just a matter of dates.  My Brother in Laws' bday (Paul's Dad) is July 2nd and this ... was chosen as the special date.  Never hurts to have a nice long holiday weekend tied to it as well?
