Jenny's married!

So my sister finally had her Day!

Jenny and Shannon married this past Saturday at 2pm at St. Pauls Church in Akron, Ohio.

We had some great family travel in for the event and it was so awesome to see my mom's sisters and her brother make the visit. It was a beautiful day and we had some great pictures taken from a fabulous photographer! Diane did a great job! I know it!

I have to comment though........The photo taking session would have been easier if you were herding cattle. It was damn near impossible for everyone to make themselves available during the day and I just felt bad for Jenny. I'm sure there were other photos they would have wanted to take, but like I said, everytime we turned around someone was not there to take the photos.

A few funny highlights from the day's events included my father getting a catholic priest to curse during the ceremony. Let me explain.........There we're several children at the event, and their parent's we're in the ceremony, thus hard to handle them while your in the event. So my dad has to walk Gavin, Jenny and Shannon's son around. Well, he picks a time right during the event to do so. The priest and Shannon share a glance, Shannon shrugs his shoulder, and with that the priest gets up, walks over to my brother and states "Will you please go get your father and tell him to get his ASS in the pew for his daughters wedding........" Now mind you funny as it sounds, it gets better! He does this with the microphone turned on and about 40-60 people there to hear him. I think the organist skipped a note!

And can't go without mentioning Neal. Neal was our limo driver. And quite the cool cat! He was great. When we went down to the metro parks for pictures, he was gracious and helped keep an eye on the wandering kids while we took some awesome photos! Kudo's to Neal! Look em up if your in Akron, it's called Budget Limo! Great, classy place!

We then headed off to Guy's restaurant for the reception. Not before spending the last hour hammering down a few drink's we all went and picked up, in our tux's and the limo, in the old Firestone Park area! We were definitely primed for the evenings events!

The food was great, but I just wished more people had showed up to show support for my sister! It sucks when someone spends that type of money and sends out the invitations just to have them not show. Again, it was a great time, we made sure of it!

The night ended for me around 12:30 after I called Tiffany (who had left and just walked in to her house) asking her where she was and why she wasn't back yet! Go me!!! Yes people, I was a bit blitzed! Tiffany found me about 1:30 passed out on Jenny's couch, with my hand up to my face (ala a typical pose of my son) and my son's blanket nestled up to me and Jenny passed out with her head on my shoulder! Gotta love it!!!

So congrats Jenny and Shannon! I wish you both the best of luck and give you my love! Love you sister!!
