I had the privilege of officiating the wedding of my nephew and godson, Vaughan Stephen Degurse to Sophie Anne McKelvie yesterday!

Vaughan is the eldest son of my sister, Margaret.

The ceremony was held at Ferguson Estates in Camlache, just east of Sarnia.

It was sunny afternoon as about 125 gathered for this outdoor ceremony.

Below is a photo of our crew with the bride and groom. Only missing were son Hayden (who is running an Esports event at St. Clair College and son-in-law Kaled who had to work in South Texas. (He is a land surveyor.)

Here I got a photo of four of my guys outside. It was the first time Meghan has been able to come back to Canada since she received her Green card.

Anyway, it would not be a gwilliamrex ceremony without music.

I took the opportunity to create a 57 song SPOTIFY playlist to mark the day. It is entitled, like this post, The Sophie and Vaughan Experience.

Here it is. Enjoy.
