DESIGNES PAM Jehnson ard Vanceuver Playhou Givector Larry Lillo share a hug at the final fitting for her wedding

for him. It was Larry's 46th birthday.

Another close friend, photographer David Cooper, was there with his camera in action. Let me tell you, there was lots to photograph!

Pam’s wedding gown was distinctively different in a short tutu style with an off-the- shoulder, long-sleeved bodice in all-black tulle with a long, black net train.

The dress was accessorized with a long spray of red roses, which also formed part of the simple headband that Pam wore.

This truly one-of-a-kind wed- ding gown was designed by Pam herself and created by the Playhouse’s head of wardrobe, Jennifer Grossman.

Honeymoon plans are on hold for this busy bride as The Mil- lionairess moved to the theatre Monday morning where Pam’s complex revolving set was to be assembled for the first time...

Someone else who had a royal send-off was Don Pamplin, the just-retired chief of the Van- couver Fire Department.

There was a happy roast-toast

dinner for Don and his wife Fri-

day evening at Denis Forristal’s Westin Bayshore, where VIPs,

- family friends and colleagues had

gathered to honor the man who had served the citizens of Van- couver so well for the past 38 years.
