Kat and Steve

We really enjoyed Kat and Steve's wedding on Saturday. The choral music at the beginning set the right tone and was followed by a traditional (I assume) Episcopal ceremony. Kat and her brides maids looked great. It was fun watching Steve in his foot-shuffling style waiting for her at the altar.

It was nice experiencing a wedding as a married couple. Listening to the wows is so different now that we've been through it. And it felt like Kat and Steve were joining our club of married folk.

I was surprised how very similar the ceremony was to a Catholic ceremony. The same order, the same readings, almost exactly the same prayers. They skipped the homily which (considering our never-ending wedding) was quite nice.

Their reception at the Trois Estate rocked. I had seen pictures of that place and they looked cool, but I was a little afraid that it would be a little Disneyesque (you know, fake rocks and such). Not so - the place is solid and very elegant, in a country estate kind of way.

I was really disappointed that we had to leave early. We got to hear Susanna Sharpe play a little, but didn't get to see Kat and Steve do their dance or cut the cake. In retrospect, we probably could (and should) have gotten rid of our Cirque tickets in order to not miss part of the reception. Well, that's spilled milk and we've learned another lesson (do not double-book when you have a wedding to go to). Still, we were there for the important part.

Kat and Steve, we wish you many years of love and happiness!
