The Snow Princess has left the building!

I went to a wedding this weekend! It was absolutely tons of fun from start to finish. The ceremony was beautiful and the priest's homily was beautiful. He really made it personal and spoke a lot about love and how no one is perfect. He stressed the need to rely upon God to have faith in the fact that the bride chose the groom, and the groom chose the bride as much as God chose them to be together. So despite the natural ups and downs of a marriage, that it is God's will for them to be together. The words were beautiful. He also spoke on the traditional theme of never going to bed mad at each other. Which is something I really believe in. I don't think I have ever been to a catholic wedding, but I love the catholic masses so it was a wonderful combination of a wedding with a full mass. Erin my GF was the maid of honour and she was beautiful. She look classy in her dress and so did all the bridesmaids. The entire wedding party was impressively good looking. So it should be on such a special day.

The reception was fun! The food rocked, the tunes were a pretty good mix and I stayed 'til the very end. The speeches ... well ... I could go on forever on them, but I won't. Suffices to say they were the best set of speeches I have ever seen at any wedding I have ever been to. The thoughtfulness behind each speech was evident. The love and support found in these families in friends was tangible in the room that it just made everyone feel so good. It was truly a feel good wedding!

NewsFlash: Erin caught the bouquet!!! Pressure's on now!! (*laugh*)

There were also some really nice aspects to the reception that I thought were thoughtful additions. Probably the most impressive one to me was the table at the front of the hall that had old wedding pictures of parents and grandparents. I'm a pretty big fan of old pictures, so these were absolutely beautiful to me.

I was graced with the privilege of driving the bride and groom.... er... I should say husband and wife to their hotel at the end of the evening and I must take the time to describe Tiffany's (the bride/wife) beautiful white cape that she wore while leaving. Of course she had a beautiful white wedding dress also, but combined with this white satiny cape with a ruffle of snow looking material along the edge... she looked like a Snow Princess. She was absolutely beautiful and elegant leaving the building after all those hard hours of stress and partying (*grin*). It was my honour to be The Snow Princess' chauffeur (*smile*).

On a lighter note, it was great to finally meet Siobhan's husband Cory. I thought he was really cool. We had a good time together. Siobhan herself was quite entertaining that night. I was a big fan of the nine push-ups she did on the dance floor HAHAHAHA!!! Also, I didn't realize Jen had such a nice butt! Her dress was perfect at showing it off and several people made positive comments during the evening (*grin*).

In short, best wedding I've ever been to. That's cool.

I completely believe this statement! You should have seen Erin jump and dive for the bouquet!!! If this had been for any part of the bride's dress, surely the bride would have been in hospital that evening! HAHAHAHA
