This past October (2002) , Murray visited one of our long time friends of the chatroom SK. Now... this wasn't just any visit nope.. Murray was there to attend SK's Wedding! Oh what a time he had! His first adventure was with The bridesmaids for a fantastic Bachelorette cruise. (I don't think the poor bird will ever be the same).
Photo number 1 shows Murray is leaving the shores of southern Maryland with the girls bachelorette party ...the guys were on a different boat.
In photo number 2 Murray decided to try his wing at driving the boat. Although he wasn't quite tall enough and almost ran into the guys boat. :) He veered off in time but managed to tangle up the guys fishing lines. The guys swear it was intentional..:) Murray claims he was just following a cute seagull!
Photo number 3 is Murray fishing... he had a hard time casting but was able to hold onto the pole. He caught a fish that weighed more than he did and was quite the boasting cock for awhile after that. Much like all the male species!
Picture number 4 is Murray boasting and wanting a picture taken with the cooler of fish. ( It's a male chicken thing.).
Picture number 5 Murray still boasting and wanted to show off the size of his pole holder...:) (Male thing in general :)..)
Picture number 6 Murray with his chicks! He's such a flirt.
Picture number 7 Murray hanging out on the back of the boat...with Mandy, SK and SK's sister Dawn. Are they having fun or what?
Picture number 8 Murray wanted a beer, so we gave him one. This may have not been the best idea. See picture number 9.
Picture number 9 shows that Murray wasn't so cocky when my sister had to hold his feathers away from his beak, after trying to hold his own with the girls in a drinking game. He fowled out!
The Day is done and Murray wanted a picture with the bride and groom and two captains (who are on the right and left). Murray's tub of fish is in the foreground. Murray also wants to know if he can bring fish back with him? I told him I didn't think it was possible.
Well everyone needed a good rest up after that excursion. Preparations continued for the big day!!!
The Day had finally arrived.
This wasn't any ordinary wedding. Sk and her husband to be had planned something special for the day and Murray.. Was one of the groomsmen!
