The Wedding of The Year

Yesterday we went to A.P. and D.R.'s wedding. It was beautiful! We were actually late, which is a MAJOR faux pas, and I feel really stupid about it, but what's done is done. Being late though, means we missed the PONY RING BEARER! And the cute flower girl, who might have only been a couple of months older than Cherry. We got there part way through the vows, and we couldn't see a thing, but we could hear A.P. (the bride)'s voice quivering as she said her half of the vows. The wedding was outside, set in some beautiful gardens, which made for some pretty pictures. Between the wedding and the reception, we took 124 pics, but here I've just included some favourites. (To tell you the truth a lot of them didn't turn out well.)

Mr. and Mrs. R!


The bride wore pink WINGS! How cool is that?!?

The bride's sisters. They were all bride's maids, plus there were a couple of other girls. The P. family is a family of four, wonderful girls. I've been friends with them for about eight years, getting closer to each girl at different points during that time. The youngest one (on the right) is still in highschool, and quite a bit younger than the other ones, so I don't really know her very well. Their parents are wonderful, and I get along well with them too. It's their house that Cherry and I went to a BBQ for Canada Day, and their dad's birthday.



Not playing favourites or anything by posting another pic of this particular sister, I just love the pic! She's such a photogenic girl, and she's always posing!



And you HAVE to look at the shoes they wore! They're were actually bought from a lingerie store! So silly fun in a perfect way. This wedding had "P. sisters" written all over it!



After taking pictures of the girls, we posed for a pic and we took a little wander through the gardens. Unfortunately, the cute dress I bought for Cherry is actually a bit big, so she wore one of her old dresses. She still looked good though!




Cherry, once again, practicing her "running away" technique.




And, TRYING to run away.



Stopping for a second to gaze at herself.



After the wedding part, we went to the nearby docks and found my dad and took him out for an early dinner. Things were ok, not overly weird. I guess we're getting along. I don't have much else to say about that.


Anyway, at about 5:30 pm, we made our way to the beautifully decorated reception hall, where we had a really nice dinner and good company. We're all friends with the band, and the band came to sit with us. They're a bunch of hosers, but they're lovable.


After dinner, we danced.



Daddy took his responsibility quite seriously! The two of them danced and danced!



Then we let Cherry go to perfect her new moves.


(this picture has been deleted, because someone had a hissy fit for me posting it. I won't name names, but HE's a baby!)

And then, Armondo perfected the "nostril shot."




And, after a long day of frolicking fun, the little one passed right out! And yes, that's a rubber snake on her lap. She likes it.
