Our wedding day
About Us
- Margaret McKay and Larry Israel
- Margaret and Larry began a new chapter in their lives together when they were married on April 18, 2009. The ceremony and reception took place at Steamers Jazz Club and Cafe in Fullerton, California, the place where they first met in 1998. Their family includes Larry's two daughters, Heather and Robin, son-in-laws, David and Andrick, and eight grandchildren, Brandon, Jonathan, Sophia, Ava, Joshua, Riley, Isaac, and Victoria. The newlyweds share their home with the two greatest dogs in the world, Sassy and Nica, and make regular visits to the stable for Margaret to ride and Larry to love on the beautiful Irish horse, Belle. Good friends and family, a love of music, and home improvement projects are among the things that fill their happy lives.
