Almanac Almanac: A big wedding at The Sequoias (June 3, 2009)


Love can be found at any age and any place.  Sallie and Jack met each other an active senior residence nestled among the huge sequoia trees in Portola Valley California.  Both are 83 years old.  On their wedding day, they showed the range of emotion that I see in couples of any age - excitement and elation and nervousness and utter joy.

This wedding was the talk of the town among the senior set in the Woodside/Palo Alto area.  Imagine how inspiring Sallie and Jack are to the other seniors!

Sallie and Jack had a traditional church wedding with one of Sallie's Stanford classmates officiating.   Their huge reception was held at the main hall of the Sequoias.  They squeezed in 350 celebrants in a space with a capacity of 250.   It was windy and cold that day, so everyone stayed inside.   

The best line of the day:  Sallie and Jack promised each other fifteen good years.
