The Wedding

As all my reading audience knows (most of you were there) I got married on Thursday, October 9. I'm putting the date in because I feel like if I say it enough, then I might even remember it next year. :) Or I can look in my ring, as the date is engraved on the inside of the ring.

I don't have a picture of both sides of our families together, as those were taken by our photographer and we do not have those pictures yet. So instead I put up 2 pictures so that everyone can be included. Once we get the link to the pictures from our photographer I will post the link up here.

The day ended up being just about perfect. It rained until about 9 AM, then cleared up and was sunny by noon. We had been concerned that it would be raining or cold, but instead we had a beautiful day which allowed us to enjoy the area to it's fullest.

A few of us went and set up chairs in the park at 10, then Joel stayed guard to make sure nobody moved the chairs around while the rest of us got dressed. It worked out well as Joel was the least dressed of the group anyway.... :) Then we stared taking pictures at Mt Philo around 1 PM. After we were finished taking pictures we started the wedding. I don't have much to say about the wedding because I really don't remember much. I'm just glad I did not stumble over my vows. We did have a few wedding crashers. This dog wandered through and there was an older couple who sat back behind our families and watched the whole thing.

Following the wedding we took a few more pictures, then packed up the area and left. Becca's sister Jen and Jen's husband Alan went to decorate the room for dinner, and we took a short nap. Then off to dinner which was at Kitchen Table Bistro. The decorations were gorgeous, including a few baby pumkins. The pumpkins had tea lights placed in small holes which had been masterfully drilled by yours truly. However, the brains behind all the decorations was Jen who did a wonderful job. The dinner was wonderful too. Both Becca and I had Ahi Tuna for our appetizer and Ribeye steak for our dinner. That was tasty.

Guess that about does it. Thanks to all of our families who came, and to everyone else who has sent us encouraging messages.
