Day 4-Wedding Day!

Today was the wedding day! I'm sure after a long year of planning Fran is happy this day is finally here! I know that I'm tired of practicing my song and I really just want to get it over with! I headed over to the ceremony site to practice my song again with the new sound layout. Originally I was supposed to go front and center and I wanted to avoid that if at all possible. But, I was willing to just go with the flow. So, when I get there I head up to the bride's room to say hello to everyone and chat with them until the coordinator is ready for me to go down. Everyone looked beautiful! When I got to the room I was off to the side and couldn't even see the bridal party. That was good news for me because then I wouldn't get all teary eyed. I could hear the music much better and hearing myself was a little better. Overall it was better than the rehearsal, but it's much better when I'm singing it in my car alone :-). I should have taped it and lip synced to it.

Oh and before you start looking at the pictures I have a warning for you. "Objects in pictures are as large as they appear." ;-)

Ryan and John right after the wedding. I thought they both looked great


I'm all relaxed now. As soon as I sat down this huge weight had been lifted!

Fran stopped for a moment at the cocktail hour to "touch up"

First dance

I think these 2 bonded a little TOO much on this trip

Kim and Karl

Fran and me

This had to be the funniest cake cutting ever! He feeds Fran this giant piece of cake but then refuses to allow her to feed him. So, he turns around and takes a bite.



Heidi and Chris







We have lots of fun!

Heidi, me, and Sheila



They love me!

I thought the centerpieces were pretty. You can see the band in the background.

Heidi and I tried so hard to get Chris to dance. He wouldn't...

The wedding was so much fun and it lasted the entire day. The wedding started at about 1:00 and ending around 3:30 AM. But most people went downstairs to the bar and continued the party. Not I!!!!
