Wedding Fun

As many of you know, I have always been a huge fan of weddings. My best memories center on activities at the receptions that follow the ceremony.

The wedding last Saturday, however, provided more than the usual allotment of highlights. For example, see the "ring bearer" enjoying the actual ceremony. What more could a bride ask for than a tiny relative completely immune to the goings on and totally enjoying the moment.


Don't for a moment, however, believe that only the bride's side had a small boy interested in all the fresh mulch. Observe the groom's second cousin who first discovered the garden goodies. Loading and unloading the truck was much more entertaining that watching a couple of "old folks" do whatever. I loved the little boys - and it was one of the first times I think I enjoyed the "ceremony" as much as the reception.

To be fair, this was not your "typical" wedding. From the flip-flop footwear to the "flower dog" you knew things were going to be different.

From now on, I am going to pay close attention to all the activities associated with weddings. What fun! By the way - be ware of the couple who has been married the longest when they give advice at the reception concerning the secret to a happy marriage.
