Bookhouts Tie Knot at 'Fountain of Youth'

The former Jenny Whittington and the Rev. Daniel I. Bookhout have set up housekeeping in St. Augustine, Fla., after having been married over the summer. Some 50 people were in attendance at the church wedding, held at the Fountain of Youth Park, a recreational site devoted to the memory of the 16th century Spanish expedition led by explorer Ponce de Leon.

Jenny, 25, a graphic designer, is the daughter of Kathy and Ron Whittington. Ron is a National Aeronautics and Space Administration rocket scientist who works at Cape Canaveral. Dan, 25, is the son of William R. Bookhout esq. and the former Diane Jester, and the grandson of the late Hon. and Mrs. Richard Bookhout of Oneonta. Mrs. Bookhout was the former Florence 'Flossy' Fieg.

Jenny and Dan are graduates of Flagler College, where they met. They enjoy beach activities, especially pontoon surfing.

Dan is youth pastor at Good News Presbyterian Church in St. Augustine, which has the distinction of being the oldest settlement in North America.
