the Wedding !! !!

and you are seeing it correctly, Stephen indeed did wear a North Carolina jersey under a white coat with white slacks for his wedding. That is us waiting for the start of the ceremony at the landing for our entrance. Graham and Susan helped greatly in helping get things moving when and how they needed to be done.






And a wonderful wedding it was. They are well hitched. Well cemented as Kelly and Beth lead a great service that had all the elements of a Stephen and Jen wedding that one could imagine, beauty, tears, laughter, joy, confusion, late start, but oh so very very beautiful.. People just went on and on about how wonderful it was. and the tears did flow during the vows portion.



the room was a conference type room typical of a hotel, except it had some rather fancy flowers and such a grand view through the open curtains. Seats for over 140 people and well over 100 in attendance.



The groomsmen wore suits or dress shirts and ties or vests and ties -- or not in-- some cases, -- formality was not necessarily the order of the day. The brides maids instructions were only for color.-- Dress of style of choice. Men only had color direction also, and Jen bought my tie - you probably guessed that already though.
















not a dry eye in the house-- as I understand it at one time the place was full of sniffles -- I was busy handing my handkerchief to Stephen.






The kids did look radiant



being photographged - by the photographer, gives you a bit of an idea of how beautiful the backdrop is going to be on the official photos.





The reception was off the charts and I will post about it later this one is full
