A Wedding on the Creeper Trail
Brian June 5th, 2006
From the Congressman’s website:
On Saturday, June 3 U.S. Rep. Rick Boucher and Galax Gazette editor Amy Houslohner were married in Damascus, Virginia. The couple took their marriage vows following a bicycle trip from Abingdon . The ceremony took place on an old railroad bridge within the town which is now a part of the Virginia Creeper Trail. Officiating was Chief U.S. District Judge James P. Jones, a longtime friend of Boucher’s.
Following the ceremony, the couple returned by bicycle to Abingdon. The Abingdon-Damascus bicycle round trip is a favorite recreation of the Bouchers who decided to have a private informal marriage in one of their favorite settings.
Congratulations to Rep. Boucher and Ms. Hauslohner.
Next weekend, Boucher will accept the Democratic nomination as he seeks his 13th term in Congress.
Way to go Rick! Congratulations to the newlyweds.
I’ve known Rick Boucher for too many years and I don’t ever remember seeing him look happier. He used to say he was married to the Ninth District. It looks like being married to Amy is going to be a lot more fun. All the best to them.
Great news. Congratulations.
Yay for bike weddings! We’ve been doing bike weddings of a different type in Portland, Oregon for a while.
There’s a term for this kind of marriage. “Sham” I think it is.
