August 15, 2009, turned out to be a perfect day for a wedding. An overnight rain storm brought cooler temperatures . . . down from 90 plus degrees the day before. The setting was perfect, too . . . the back yard of the bride's parents. The archway where they said their vows overlooked a tree lined pond.
A few little glitches, like Ben nicking himself while shaving (the bleeding stopped just in the nick of time, too), added to the day's fun. The wedding guests were seated under a tent, and a rain shower waited until the wedding party exited down the aisle before letting loose.
After some great food cooked on a Mexican "discado", delicious cheesecake and celebrating, the bride and groom took their leave on Ben's motorcyle. They were headed to Amy's apartment to pick up her bag and their car before leaving on their honeymoom.
In the guest book, Grandpa Gene gave them a word of advice he always follows: "Happy Wife, Happy Life". They are off to a great start!
