<\/a><\/p>\nCrystal was beautiful\u00a0in her light pink wedding dress and Hef, uncharacteristically, wore a tuxedo instead of his silk pajamas.\u00a0 It was nice to see Hef\u2019s brother, Keith, and his lovely wife, Caya, as it was just a few months ago that I was their wedding officiant on the lawn of the Playboy Mansion.\u00a0 Keith was Hef\u2019s best man and Mary O\u2019Connor, Hef\u2019s assistant for over four decades was the maid of honor.\u00a0 The marriage ceremony was fairly small and was attended largely by Hef\u2019s and Crystal\u2019s family members and a few close friends.\u00a0 Champagne and caviar were served at the wedding reception as I chatted with Keith and Caya.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hef\u2019s and Crystal\u2019s wedding was the third wedding ceremony that I have officiated at the Playboy Mansion.\u00a0 I was also the wedding officiant for Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett a few years ago in a ceremony that was televised for their television show, \u201cKendra\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Of course, I brought my wife, Linnea, and we were invited to stay for the Playboy Mansion New Years Eve Party. \u00a0The party was quite a classy event!\u00a0 No sooner did Linnea and I have a seat on our own white vinyl couch did a waitress bring us a platter of crab legs, oysters and shrimp and a bottle of Grey Goose Vodka.\u00a0 We also enjoyed the extensive buffet and the open bar and mingling with guests which included all walks of life.\u00a0 I was more entertained than my wife by the several Playboy bunnies who were wearing nothing but painted-on tuxedos.\u00a0 Naturally, I had my picture taken with a couple of them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Perhaps the funnest part of the party was the people watching at the party which had a \u201cBlack Tie and Lingerie\u201d theme.\u00a0 Countless bunnies, models and\u00a0celebrities were there.\u00a0 One of the prettiest women was the 71-year-old Britt Eklund who is still stunning.\u00a0 I even ran into Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed who were recently married after I issued their marriage license.\u00a0 While many party goers were standing in line to get their picture taken with them I said \u201cHi\u201d and Shannon yelled \u201cChris!!\u201d and gave me a high five.\u00a0 Gene was a bit more subdued and simply smiled and gave me a fist bump.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Live music was performed throughout the evening by the wonderful Brenna Whitaker and her Little Big Band but Gene and Shannon\u2019s daughter, Sophie, sang a beautiful version of \u201cAt Last\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As the clock struck midnight we all shared a champagne toast to ring in the new year.\u00a0 I hope 2013 remains as fun as it began for me and my wife and for all of you who may be reading this.\u00a0 Happy New Year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
