Wedding pics!

What a really fantastic wedding event. Except for the minor glitch of the groom's microphone going in and out during the vows, it went off without a hitch. The site of the ceremony, cocktails and reception were all the interior courtyard of the Ringling Art Museum.







































Outside the museum and the courtyard.


The courtyard is broken up into three areas via the subtle use of to sets of five or six steps which transition between the areas. When we walked in, the first area is where the ceremony was held. The middle area is where the cocktails were served and the third area is where the dinner tables were set up. It worked really, really well.



















The band....they were awesome!



























Greeters Emily and Beth (two of the three single women at the event).








Nick and Terry.



















My "dates": Jessica and Pouneh (Poo-nay), both happily married with many kids. Why are all the good ones taken?!









Pouneh just had a baby three weeks ago! Shame on all you women who blame childbirth for "letting yourself go".






















The happy bride, Kendra, and the newlyweds.







































The only downfall of the wedding....a freakin' mime!! They had a juggler too.


I have some hotel pics that I'll follow up with tomorrow.

All I can say is that woman is probably a stick when she loses her baby weight.

I thought it fitting that the mime is right in line with the bronze ass statue.

Just another thought, maybe weddings aren't the best place to meet women. Perhaps you should try hanging out at one of those marriage encounter weekends, 50% of those couples are on the bubble. the odds of hooking are pretty good.
