West Virginia Wedding
Since John and Alice’s family’s are so far apart, they decided to have two weddings. One in Fiji and the other in West Virginia. The US wedding was held later that year at John’s family farm in West Virginia. Unlike most West Virginia weddings, the bride and groom were not related beforehand.

Drink Up
While John’s folks were on island, they decided to try some ava. Here, Paula Raynar gulps down her inaugural taste of ava.
John & Parents
Besides the ava, one of the many things that fascinated John’s parents was the beauty of the island, particularly the coastal highway. Pictured (L-R): Karl, Paula and John Raynar
Meet the Parents
Finally, John’s parents and Alice’s parents got to meet. Fortunately, this went a lot smoother than when the Fockers met their counterparts in Meet the Parents. Pictured (L-R): John Raynar, Paula Raynar, Peceli Raynar, Richard Croker, Bulou Croker, L.J., Karl Raynar & Alice Raynar.
