random thoughts -- Day 1314 (Sunday) wedding day

The wedding day in a nutshell ... Most of the household was up at around 7:00 or so to get things going. There was coffee and soon after, a shriek from the room where the bride-to-be had spent the night.

Safe from a leak.
There was a splat of water on her head and she stepped in water on the floor as she crossed from the bathroom into the bedroom. The ceiling was leaking. 

Luckily, the wedding gown, which was very nearly hung in the area of the leak, had been hung across the room instead. 

The best guess about the source of the water was the master suite bathroom, where the bride was scheduled to meet with the hair stylist and the makeup artist. 

There were photos at the house near the arch that was decorated on Saturday. After hundreds of photos of the bridal couple and various family members, it was time to head to the ceremony venue.

As people filtered out to the cars, it was noticed the door to the master suite was locked and nobody could get back in the space. Another thing to be dealt with later. 

The wedding venue featured a Pepto-pink Cadillac out front. The ceremony room was lovely, as was the ceremony. The vows, written by the couple, brought tears to everyone's eyes. It was beautiful. On our way out, Elvis, decked out in a white jumpsuit, unloaded himself and his things from a Hyundai Santa Fe and sauntered down the sidewalk. 

Later, there was dinner at Al Solito Posto in Tivoli . "Dinner" was an amazing multicourse meal with courses featuring Caesar salad, meatballs, bruschetta, chicken parmigiana, steak, various pastas, mashed potato, broccolini, and other things I'm sure I've missed. The dessert course was tiramisu, apple crostata, and vanilla gelato.

Back at the house, there was cake. Bundt cake tiers in white chocolate raspberry and chocolate, with mini Bundt cakes in two other flavors. Beautiful and delicious. 

The ceiling leak and locked suite were tiny hiccups and overall, it was a beautiful day. Best wishes to Shannon and Britt for many more beautiful days.
