More Wedding Daze

One of these days I'm going to go to a "normal" wedding--bride in long white dress, groom in tuxedo, bridesmaids in matching unattractive dresses.  But probably not--that's just not how my circle of friends and family rocks it.

Bob's sister got married last Saturday.  She's been single for 21 years, but has been dating a truly nice guy for many years now, and they decided to make it official.  The venue was small, just a little wedding chapel in downtown Panama City, and some family and friends.  Della, being herself, chose red and black for her color theme.  Her daughter Amanda was her maid of honor, and her grandson Dane gave her away.  I love weddings like this--small and personal.

And I open with a sight very rarely seen--me holding a baby.  This is Amanda's second son, 9-month old Zeke.  I don't know if the kids are my grand-nephews or my great-nephews.  I opt for great-nephews because they're great kids.

 
 
Here's niece Amanda and her other son Dane
 
 
 
Both Della and Amanda wore very red, very high heels.  They came off immediately after the wedding.
 



Am I forgetting anything?  Oh--yes.  There were a bride and groom:

 
After the ceremony we traipsed across the street to a redneck bar for the reception.
 
 
The cake, like everything else, wasn't quite traditional, but it was beautiful (and red velvet cake--yum)

 
Incidentally, wedding cake and Guiness stout go together excellently.

It was a beautiful and loving day, and I'm so happy for them.
