Everyone at the Show-Me Institute would like to extend their congratulations to John and Monica Combest (formerly Durrwachter) for their wonderful wedding Saturday. I, especially, would like to extend my gratitude for allowing me to participate in the open bar. As our readers know, it would be hard for us to do what we do (as if we even know what that is) without John first doing what he does every morning.

The entire day was beautiful, but I think the music stood out. Monica’s family is very talented musically, and they performed all the music for the ceremony. At the reception, her father sang to her for the traditional dance, and it was extremely moving. And, as the ACC first noted, John still compiled his headlines this weekend!
