“It was a perfectly beautiful wedding.William Bryan, 75, and Doris Jean Marsing, 68, exchanged vows and rings at an afternoon ceremony in the garden gazebo at Careage in Coupeville on Friday. The sun shone, family and special friends gathered, a barbershop quartet sang sweet love songs, bright balloons bobbed in the breeze, and an antique fire-engine waited to carry the couple away.The smiling wedding party included Bryan’s mother, 98-year-old Freda Bryan; his sister, JoAnn Uteg; and Katie Clark, the hairdresser-cum-matchmaker who made it all happen.She introduced us, Jean said, after the wedding. She cuts both our hair. … And she decided Jean needed to meet Bill. And Bill needed to meet Jean.They made me think of each other, Clark said. Their personalities match well. He’s mellow. She’s exuberant. But it took some persistence to get them together. Clark kept asking each of them if they wouldn’t like to go out with somebody, but both hesitated until the day she picked up the phone while Jean was in the chair and called Bill. She asked him if he didn’t want to meet me. He said he did, and she handed me the phone, Jean said. That was a shock.They got together for coffee and it was a great first meeting, Jean said. But a month passed, while Bill tried to decide if he wanted to get involved. Then he called and asked for a date.The two went out to dinner and talked for hours. Then they spent three days driving around the island, talking and talking. And that was it, Jean said. Within four months of meeting, they were married. It was caffeine. I just told them to have a cup of coffee, said Clark, an Oak Harbor resident who works at Genesis Salon in Coupeville.Bill, who came to live in Admiral’s Cove six years ago after retiring as chief engineer at the Motion Picture and TV Fund Hospital in Woodland Hills, Calif., had been single for eight years. Jean, who moved to Coupeville a year ago from California and now works at the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, had been alone for 14 years.The wedding had the enthusiastic blessing of their families. She has four children. He has three, including Connie Steadman of Oak Harbor, who was the wedding’s photographer. Together they have 17 grandchildren – one of whom was born the morning of the marriage – and one great-grandchild.They don’t often have weddings at Careage. This is only the second, but it was held there because that’s where Freda Bryan lives and she isn’t able to go out these days, Jean said. And it wouldn’t have been a perfect wedding without her.”
