WHERE'S WENDY? UPDATE

Dallas Morning News reports: "10:53 AM CDT on Sunday, October 1, 2006

Last week, megawealthy Californian Wendy McCaw had more pressing business than putting down the staff insurrection at her Santa Barbara News-Press.

She pulled her 193-foot helicopter-equipped yacht, Calixe, into harbor at St. Tropez in the south of France to attend the wedding of native Dallasite Karen Farquharson to British-born Dallas businessman Horatio Lonsdale-Hands.

Horatio's elder brother, Richard Lonsdale-Hands, owns a beachfront estate there (next door to King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden), where the rehearsal dinner was held.

The next afternoon, Dallas businessman Eduardo Brittingham and Ms. McCaw's fiancé, Baron Arthur von Wiesenberger, served as co-best men at a waterfront ceremony at the Millesim Beach Club.

The wedding party also included Horatio's daughter, Tiffany Lonsdale-Hands, and Horatio's Dallas-based younger brother, James Lonsdale-Hands.

The bride's parents, JoJean and Dale Farquharson, made the trip from Dallas, as did Sambuca's jet-setting co-owner Holly Forsythe and Highland Park movers Cornelia and Ralph Heins.

While the Veuve Clicquot flowed at the post-nuptial reception, a 15-minute fireworks display lit up the skies over the French Riviera." . ......................................................................................Writing for the Santa Barbara News-Press, not in attendence, Laura Schlessinger vrs Gayle King, Martin Short, Jude Law, Oprah, Mark Foley, Karl-call me what you like but I was never middle class-Lagerfeld, Evita Peron, Alberto Gonzales, Arianna Huffington, Lorelei, Craig McCaw, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Nipper's friend, Tinkerbell.
