I started the day by exercising at the other Curves in Kingston. | |
After showering and getting dressed, I was ready to go to the wedding... by motorcycle!! I put jeans on under my dress and my jacket on top. I wore sandals though... VERY uncomfortable! It makes me wonder at all the people who drive motorcycles without proper footgear... why?!?!? I arrived at the church at the same time as Jennifer's brother Jason and his fiancee Megan. I helped them arrange the potted flowers down the aisle. | |
Soon, the musical trio arrived... a violin, viola, and cello. Nice! | |
Mike's parents were the first of the wedding party to walk up the aisle. | |
Then it was Sharon's turn to be escorted up the aisle on the arm of Jennifer's brother, Jason... ...soon followed by the bridesmaids... Becky, Jane, and Denise. | |
Time to get the main characters into place! Ivan escorts his daughter down the aisle! | |
During the ceremony, friends and family of the bride and groom read selected passages. Left to right, top to bottom: Wendy, Jennifer's Aunt, Becky, Jennifer's friend, Rita, Mike's sister, and Peter, Mike's brother. | |
And now for the stars of the show... Jennifer and Mike... in pictures and movies!! | |
And then it was time for all the congratulations! | |
In the crowd... Jenn gives her grandfather a kiss. | |
Jenn's Bridesmaids... Left to right: Becky, Denise (Maid of Honour), and Jane | |
Jane, left, was Sharon's Maid of Honour! | |
Mike's sister, Rita and her husband, Jenn and Mike, and Mike's brother Peter and his wife. | |
And... ta-daaaaa.... Guess who? (Picture taken by fellow Winnipeger, Tom!) | |
There was a couple of hours between the wedding and reception so... I briefly went downtown to take a couple of pictures of Fort Frontenac. | |
And I saw this building... home of the Princess of Wales' Regiment | |
Now back to the reception... Here's Jenn and Mike with Jennifer's grandparents (Ivan's parents)... and Sharon's parents. Jennifer made a lovely speech about both pairs. | |
The head table... | |
A nice idea related to grandparents was this... pictures of the weddings of Jenn and Mike's parents and grandparents. | |
Here was MY table. All very nice people, some family, some friends. Some teachers, a travel agent. We had a nice long continuous chat about almost everything I could think of. | |
Here's a cool group of people I talked to... ... some even wise enough to be transplanted to Winnipeg... ... probably as bartenders (haha, Punkag!)... gotta make SOME use of all those chemistry classes! | |
