Saturday

The Wedding.

It went wonderfully.

Seated in the front row, camera in my lap, I could inconspicuously snap a few shots during the ceremony. There will be real wedding pictures later, but in the meantime, I get to tell the story.

A story of beautiful bridesmaids:


Good looking groomsmen:


And a stirring ceremony:




















Alex and Austin were included with an exchange of roses.




And yes, Austin did manage to stomp on almost every one of those rose petals that have so captured his attention.



And finally, we present the happy couple: Mr. and Mrs. Taylor.











At the wedding reception, there were the traditional dances with bride and father, groom and mother. There was also a dance for all the married couples. Then all the couples married less than three hours were asked to step aside. Matt and Lindsay sat down. Less than a year. Less than five years. Ten years. Twenty. Thirty. It was getting thin out there. Our friends the McKees sat down at 42 years. That left Judy and I at 45; the longest married couple in the room. How’s that? Our family got shortest married, longest married, and middle; Becky and Brian married for over 20 years.
