The weather worked with us... no rain and only a little bit of humidity. It would've been nice to have more breezes, but all in all, it was nice. 
As the final preparations and set up wound down, the time had come. Wendy put her dress on and got all cinched up by her sister... and then it was time for her Dad to walk her down the LONG aisle from the pavilion, across the playground, and to her waiting groom.
As the final preparations and set up wound down, the time had come. Wendy put her dress on and got all cinched up by her sister... and then it was time for her Dad to walk her down the LONG aisle from the pavilion, across the playground, and to her waiting groom.The ceremony, itself, was very non-traditional... one of Chris' long time friends conducted the ceremony and it was filled with Dr. Seuss moments, baseball analogies, and even a unity margarita. And of course a monkey. But it suited the bride and groom perfectly and everyone enjoyed it for what it was - a very personalized ceremony of two people who belong to each other.
After the ceremony, we headed back to the pavilion for much of the traditional reception activities. There was the toast, the cake cutting, the first dance, father-daughter dance, the bouquet toss, and the garter toss. They had a 'photo booth' set up to serve as personalization for their guest book - take some goofy pictures and sign your well wishes on a scrap book page. This is where your personality got to shine trough in the celebration, complete with silly dress-up items you could add to your attire. And there were definitely some interesting ones taken...So all in all, it was a great time and the perfect day for Wendy and Chris. I, personally, wish them the best. As I said in my toast... there will be many more roads travelled for them... and I know they will have fun on all of them.
