We received a surprise call from Kinch and Heather about a week ago. Of course, since you have read the title of this post, you already know the news. Whoohoo!
the wedding party
They decided to have a very small civil ceremony; we met in Oakland at the County Recorder’s Office around 10am and waited our turn (first come, first served). But we didn’t have to wait long; the process started around 10:30am and we finished up before 11, paperwork and everything. Then we snapped a few pix and headed off for a celebratory brunch.
Most of the amazingly tiny readership of this blog already know who these two are, but in case you don’t, Grace met Kinch met at Oxford (actually in D.C. when 1987 batch of Marshall Scholars were collectively dispatched to the U.K.), and they have been best friends every since.
Kinch now teaches in both the Philosophy and Law departments at Berkeley, and Heather is finishing up her law degree, also at Berkeley, where she specializes in environmental law. Until recently, they were living in Oxford where Kinch was teaching, so we didn’t get to see them very often (though we did manage a few great vacations together, including Mexico and a whole month in Italy when they joined us on our world trek – which was absolutely awesome since Kinch speaks Italian and has spent a lot of time there). Kinch was our Best Man and Officiant and we’ve known Heather since they got together way back, so of course we are happy as clams and excited that they’re making it official.
Note to self: Someday I should look into why clams are so happy anyway?
kinch & heather tie the knot
