The wedding. Pictures and a story.

[sparky9]

The wedding was a smashing success. My "little girl" is now a wife. Everyone had a great time, except I missed the whole thing. I did walk her down the aisle, kissed her on the cheek and took my seat. My seat behind the ushers. All I could see was usher-asses! My son (13 y.o.) was the last usher in the line, right in front of me.
Not wanting to move and take the focus off of the happy couple, I stayed where I was. I heard the "I do's" then a prayer. At that point my son's knees buckled and he headed to the floor, out cold. I was happy to be where I was when I caught him.
I took him outside and my brother (former EMT) and a couple of others met us there. We didn't even disrupt the service.
I had to leave him there because he was supposed to escort my 11 y.o. daughter out.
In the end, he's ok and I got to escort both of my daughters at the same wedding!
Not a bad day.
Anyway, here we are. Walking down the aisle and the Daddy dance.

Congratulations - she was a beautiful bride.

Been through it twice myself and I lived - but then I knew the day they were born I would eventually have to hand them over to someone else. Took me twenty years to get used the idea someone else would ever care for them the way I would.

Best wishes to the bride and groom. Is that your first to get married? Only reason I ask is that very thing is the reason my wife and I now have seven grand kids. Let the games begin. They are fun.

Congratulations!

My oldest daughter just got married on the 14th, so I kinda know what you went through.

They just got back off their honeymoon on Sunday.

Congratulations! Beautiful daughter and now she's someone else's problem!

(My father-in-law came to me at the reception and said, "Guess what? She's all yours, no give-backs!")

Hope your boy is ok...?

Beautiful bride!
I have been a wedding photographer for over 20 years and I have seen quite a few weddings and they still make me sentimental.
