Wedding Con't

So the wedding day went with out a hitch like I said. The girls and I arrived at the church at 3PM, the rest of the girls including Nicole were already there. We waited around till 4Pm when the ceremony started. Jeff and I walked down the aisle followed by Nicole's Mom Cynthia and her escort, Kaite and Grandpas, then Nikki & Dave followed by the rest of the girls with Nicole and her Grandpa last. Nicole's Mom and I had a bet with Renee (bridesmaid) as to who would tear up or cry first - Nicole or Jason. Cynthia and I knowing Jason, both said Jason first. Yep we were right he teared up when he saw Nicole walking down the aisle. I have to say I did not cry at all, Jeff's Dad, Jeff's Mom, Cynthia, Jay's Aunt Mary all were balling their eyes out. I guess I am so happy for Jay and Nicole that I didn't cry. The ceremony was really nice I liked the reverend who married them and afterwards there was pictures in the church. The church was huge and just goregous. When we were done we all went over to the hall "Crank's". I had a really good time. The DJ was excellent and did the traditional wedding songs and stuff, the photographer and her assistant were really nice (once I get some of their pictures I'll post more). I will say that her assistant made a play for Kaite. He asked Nikki if her sister was single, and Nikki said yes. He asked Kaite to dance which was nice but we learned he was 22. He thought Kaite was the older sister - go figure. Anyways he gave Kaite his business card and offered to take her head shot picture for her resume (acting). I DON'T THINK SO, UNLESS I AM THERE WITH HER IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!! We had a few wedding crashers from the downstairs wedding. A couple of the fellows came up and danced with us, had a few drinks. Apparently their wedding downstairs was a "dry" wedding and ended at like 9:30PM.

We had the traditional throwing of the bouquet. I had to laugh at Rod, he was like Meggan, Jessie go and sit down and when it came time for the garter throw, Jay was calling some of his single friends up and I was pointing to Nikki's boyfriend Justin and Meggan's boyfriend Mike, so Jay called them up with the microphone, to go and catch the garter HaHaHa. I think Rod was going to kill me LOL.

I was really busy walking around trying to talk to everyone we invited, but I like to dance too so I did some of that and missed saying good-bye to some of my family. The reception ended at midnight. Cynthia and I were the last to leave, but I think a good time was had by everyone.

The next day I spent 8 hours on the road taking Justin back to Grand Valley University, in Grand Rapids and Nikki back to Central in Mount Pleasant. Justin printed up the directions for me from GV to Central and had us take some back roads. I'll never do that again because I missed the road twice, drove past a amish couple in a horse and buggy and had absolutely no idea where I was.

All in all it was a long and memorably week-end. I couldn't be happier for Jay and Nicole.
This week-end we have homecoming.
