As a rule I hate weddings. It's no fun wearing a hot, non-functional monkey suit over a shirt that wrinkles and untucks after five minutes, and then having to don a matching noose. Mercifully, it wasn't hot Saturday and my new shirt fit nicely and was comfortable, so I almost liked looking like a goof. So enjoy (laugh at? cuss at?) the photo of a rare event—yours truly looking like he's either at his high school graduation again, or is starting out as a realtor.The ceremony was at a church in Kerrisdale. It went without a hitch, was unpretentious and short, lasting about 40 minutes. Because I didn't have the camera with me all day, I had time to take it all in and enjoy the food. Normally, I'm too preoccupied shooting.
Dinner was great, mostly seafood, my favourite. The sixth item on the menu was squab [pigeon]. I passed on it of course. The kids got a kick playing with the three pigeon heads. My brother brought three more over from another table for our amusement.
My daughter caught the bouquet and had a blast dancing with brother Matthew and her two cousins. For music, they played music videos ranging from Elvis to Motown to Gwen Stefani to the latest in hip hop. Needless to say, I stayed off the dance floor. (Imagine me in a suit jerking spasmodically to the beat. Ugh!)
In addition to the standard restaurant menu desserts, there were fruit platters, cake, shortbreads, and Murchies provided coffee and a multi-tiered plate of sugar-coated nuts.
Here's to a great life ahead of you, cousin Charmaine.

Where are the pics of your really nice cousins and the rest of your relatives?
I didn't have a camera with me. Sorry.
But another family wedding in October, so there's hope yet for you.
But you aren't the only person at the wedding. Someone there must have a camera and upload pics for all family members to see.
