[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 146 (2000), Part 12] [Senate] [Page 16749] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]ON THE MARRIAGE OF MARK PRESTON AND MEREDITH RAY BONNER Mr. L. CHAFEE. Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate Mark Preston and Meredith Ray Bonner on their recent wedding, which took place on July 8, 2000, at the Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The groom's parents Eugene and Mary Preston were in attendance, as was the bride's mother, Mrs. Phillip Ray Bonner. Mark proposed on December 28, 1999, in the same parking lot where they first kissed, and the couple spent their honeymoon in North Carolina. As many of you know, Mark is the intrepid Roll Call reporter, famous for stalking unwary Members coming off the Senate floor or leaving the weekly policy lunches. Over time, Mark has become a fixture at the Ohio Clock and on the Hill. The bride, now Meredith B. Preston, is also a journalist, and recently relocated to Washington from Atlanta. In fact, Mark and Meredith met as reporters at the Marietta Daily Journal. I hope the entire Senate will join me in wishing Mark and Meredith the very best today and throughout the future. ____________________
