Chad was married this morning in a "Civil" ceremony.
I'll get back on track in a moment but have you ever wondered how and why the word civil is even used for any purpose. Its definition is: relating to civilians, polite. Lets look at this. Why did we have a Civil War if it was soldiers fighting it? Before you jump up and raise your hand shouting out the answer that it was civilians from one country fighting the war, remember this; every civilian enlisted and trained, becoming a soldier. Certainly a soldier is not civil and polite. Now lets dig a bit and discuss a Civil marriage ceremony. True, it is two civilians getting married but the word "polite" describing a marriage, really!
Jane and I and JoAnne's parents were the only ones present at the wedding. The two plan on exchanging vows again and having a reception at the pond in August. As of now we have no idea on the number of people invited. I suggested combining this with a second annual Gavett reunion, didn't get the civil response I was hoping for.

Please pass on our CONGRATULATIONS to Chad and JoAnne from the Lupo family! :)
Congratulations to Chad and JoAnne!
I will add my good wishes for all of you. Skip, I think you want to throw in the Reunion idea to get good weather for the event. As I recall, your wedding celebrations tend to be a bit damp, but those Gavett gatherings bring bright sun.
We are happy for Chad and Joanne and send our best wishes for a long and happy life together.
