He was marrying his beautiful fiance Eileen, who is just as lovely on the inside as she is on the out. <\/p>\n<p>This happy occasion went off without a hitch. The weather was perfect; the ceremony was short but very meaningful; each segment of the day was planned in &#8220;the style of Dan&#8221; and executed with perfection and everyone left the hall having had a great time. To celebrate this event, I&#8217;ve written a commemorative poem. Unlike most of my offerings (which usually lean towards the dark, cynical and satirical) this poem is quite different&#8230; it is atypically &#8220;warm and fuzzy&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>They say that you can&#8217;t pick your family but that you can choose your friends. On this day, Lex and I had the fortunate best of both worlds&#8230; we were with our friends but were treated like warm and welcome family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enjoy the poem.
