wedding
lon & yvonne's wedding was very nice. everything went as planned except for a tiny hitch just in the beginning, when the music for yvonne to come down started, she didn't. but eventually she came down and everything when smoothly. being a groomsman definitely has its advantages and disadvantages.

advantages are you get to be part of an amazing moment of your friends' lives. you get to wear a cool suit (and might i add, i looked pretty sharp in it) and have everyone stare at you. i was really happy that everyone seemed to liked my new haircut.

disadvantages are that everyone stares at you. and it's a lot of work.. very tiring standing around helping out lon or yvonne.

but it was a lot of fun and a total honor to be a part of.

highlights:
- seeing moments of pure joy in Lon's face at the wedding
- lon getting it all right -- he seemed pretty confused at rehearsal
- yvonne almost breaking down during her vows
- the bridesmaids -- very nice.. and i don't just mean kind and friendly!
- lon and yvonne's kiss at the end.. easily the best kiss i've seen at any christian wedding --- interesting tidbit, they hadn't kissed in over a year, and you could tell they missed it!
- walking up and down main street Unionville for wedding photo's -- i grew up in Unionville
- jon's (best man) toast
- the TSMA bit..
- jon almost breaking down during the end of his toast
- embarrassing games at the banquet
- the sound system failing in the middle of lon and yvonne's first dance
- yvonne's thank you to her dad (almost broke down again)

what can i say.. i love that emotional stuff.

the sound system was weird.. it kept cutting in and out. only about 15-20 songs were played in total out of the 100 i had picked. which is fine since i planned it that way. mikey's song didn't get played though (i had it on random, so it was just luck of the draw).

my final words are words of thanks to the bride and groom for letting me be a part of it all.
