Amazon 7 #27 September 15, 2016 BillyVance ****** But I'd go bigger than 25 x 25. Guess Billy didn't have guests. Well, consider that it was Alabama. When they ask "Groom's family or bride's family?" the answer is usually "Both!" Easy to fit all the relatives under one tent when your family tree don't branch none. Apologies to Billy and all my other Southern friends, from a native born Texan. . . Well gee, its been 16 years. I don't remember the exact size, and yes we did have about 100 guests, actually a bit more as we ran out of empty seats. So yeah maybe the tent was bigger than 25 by 25. Her family (from CT, NY and NJ), my family (mostly AL), our college buddies (from all over) and my skydiving buddies made a good party. What kind of boy from Bama marries a Dayum Yankee .

What kind of boy from Bama marries a Dayum Yankee .I know right? She and I both went to RIT in Rochester, NY. We didn't know each other there, ran with different sets of friends. Only after she moved down here with another college buddy from CT looking for jobs did we bump into each other at deaf social functions. Even then, it took several years for us to start connecting, especially when she took an interest in doing a tandem jump."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob_Church 7 #31 September 17, 2016 We have an airshow this weekend but I told the weather gods that if it had to rain at one but would leave the other dry then to rain on us. And it's starting to look like maybe they listened. I hope this doesn't get me kicked out of the skydiving club, but here's hoping for a nice day for you. Having had three of them I'm kind of sentimental about wedding days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldwomanc6 44 #32 September 17, 2016 Given the forecast: Happy is the bride that rain falls on May your mornings bring joy and your evenings bring peace. May your troubles grow few as your blessings increase. May the saddest day of your future Be no worse than the happiest day of your past. May your hands be forever clasped in friendship And your hearts joined forever in love. Your lives are very special, God has touched you in many ways. May his blessings rest upon you And fill all your coming days. We swear by peace and love to stand, Heart to heart and hand to hand. Hark, O Spirit, and hear us now, Confirming this our Sacred Vow. ~traditional Irish blessinglisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
