Ron Silver July 2, 1946 – March 15, 2009

Ron Silver at the time was doing a play in Los Angeles. The art director had given me his brief on what he wanted from the shoot and I had some ideas aswell. But within that two hours of meeting him those plans changed why because Ron Silver was great person, great thinker and a great father. The photo here if you look closely you will see Ron Silver ’s children running in his garden, a place where he wanted to be .
Meeting you changed my life and my thoughts about it , rest in peace Ron Silver.

As I searched last night this was the article I read this from Alec Baldwin
The article is from the Huffington Post

I want to offer a post to mourn the death of actor Ron Silver.
Back in 1988, I was asked to join the advocacy group The Creative Coalition, a collection of entertainment industry activists who were committed to issues such as federal funding of the arts, reproductive rights, First Amendment issues, gun control and campaign finance reform, to name a few. The group had been formed by former HBO head Michael Fuchs, Blair Brown, Christopher Reeve, Susan Sarandon and Silver, who served as the group’s first president.

Ron Silver was a great actor on stage, film and television. A Tony award winner for the original Broadway production of David Mamet’s Speed the Plow, Silver’ s intensity and intellectual forcefulness were on display in all of his roles.
In the wake of 9/11, Silver transformed himself from a liberal darling to a libertarian antagonist to many of his former political allies. He supported Giuliani for president and attended the Republican convention as an honored guest. Some shook their heads in wonder. Others knew that Ron’s was a mind that was always seeking, no matter what the cost to his career or social status.
Rest in peace, Ron. A great actor, great thinker, great father and great friend.

I did a wedding cruise with the Royal Caribbean it really was an amazing experience. Good news for wedding couples get married in a beautiful location without any hassle Cruise lines now offer a variety of wedding services to help you plan a onboard wedding or a shoreside ceremony. All combined with a romantic cruise honeymoon visiting three or four countries.
Planning a cruise wedding cant be any easier as making one call, on ship wedding coordinators will arrange the ceremony, menu, cake, flowers and music.

As a setting for romance, more than 80 percent of agents say nothing beats the Caribbean and Bahamas as favorite wedding destinations. Today it’s a lot easier to tie the knot either at sea or in ports around the globe. More cruise lines now offer shipboard wedding packages, amenities and wedding planning services, including legal marriages performed by ships’ captains. On Royal Caribbean the line I travelled with , betrothed couples can exchange vows while climbing the ships’ rock walls or ice skating or even catching the waves on the shipboard surf simulator. The Royal Romance package features an hour wedding ceremony aboard ship or onshore on embarkation day

Its not just the Caribbean, Mexico, and Bermuda european cruises also exist Greek Islands , Santorini , Mykonos , Florence , Rome or Venice.
