SF Catholic Engaged Encounter Christmas Dinner

Last night we were invited to the San Francisco Catholic Engaged Encounter Christmas Dinner at the E&O Trading Company in The City. It was a  wonderful evening of fellowship, food, fun and laughter. 

Of course I had to take a few pictures but the only ones that worth posting were takes as the last few stragglers were leaving:

Joe, Maria, Dave and Lorraine who together  have a combined 41 years of marriage.  I am at awe when they share at Engaged Encounter talks as they let us into the good and the bad of their marriages and do it with such grace and humor but always show us how strong their love for each grows from each of theses experiences. They are such an inspiration! 

Thanks to a wonderful young lady walking by who offer to take a picture with Joe in it we got one of all of us. 

So in this picture you get 42 years of marriage! We have allot to live up too! :-)

Joe and Maria actually came all the way to Ireland to celebrate our wedding with us in September 2006 - what a wonderful gift that was! They shared their love and gift of music, our friends in Ireland are still talking about how wonderful the music was. 

Of course I have pictures:

The bride and groom with our wonderful choir friends who come all the way from San Francisco to make our wedding mass one that we will never forget.

 The new Mr & Mrs. McCann being greeted by the Bonkowski family after the ceremony.  I love this picture as Joe and I are both looking into each other eyes and so Larry and Maria are. It truly was a wonderful day. 

Wonderful group shot, Joe is sure having fun!
