BVC members Shannon Page and Mark Ferrari were married Saturday, October 11.

The wedding took place on a beautiful private ranch overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Mendocino County. The usual coastal fog cleared for the event, leaving the skies spectacularly blue and gorgeous.

BVC member Chaz Brenchley was Shannon’s Best Person, and did a marvelous job keeping the jittery bride calm and focused. Fellow writer Elizabeth Bourne was the officiant.

Oddly, the thirteen cases of champagne purchased for the occasion were not entirely consumed; perhaps this was because there were also thirteen cases of wine on hand.

Not to mention two kegs of beer.

Despite these peculiar anomalies, a splendid time was had by all.
