Congratulations Cindy and Will Trostle!
During Carroll's safety briefing at the beginning of the Valentine's Cruise, he mentioned that dinner would be delayed a little while, "since we're going to marry someone this evening." Polite chuckles. A few minutes later when Capt. Fred came into the dining room and asked, "Who wants to get married tonight?" the chuckles were a little more nervous. As he turned to first one couple and then another, the situation grew funnier and funnier. Then Capt. Fred looked down at Cindy and Will right in front of him and asked, "How about you two?"
Although at first thought a public cruise wedding might seem a little...different...it turned out to be a really neat experience. I've described it to friends as a wedding with 50 brand new friends at the reception. The cruise was a little friendlier and certainly more romantic as a result of Cindy and Will's wedding. And kudos to Capt. Fred - several folks complimented Fred on his officiating. He really does do a great job, and takes it very seriously.
Just more evidence that the Lantern Queen is truly a "Love Boat."
PS - I suggested that just as Naval vessels paint icons for "kills" on their hull, perhaps we should paint a wedding bell or dove on the hull to represent each wedding we do! I'm not sure the guys took me serioiusly. Oh well!
