The Big Day is Over!

After months of preparation, the wedding is over and everything was perfect. The rehearsal went well on the 6th, and the rehearsal dinner was excellent. I showed the slide presentation I had put together, and it was a hit. I think at first Andy and Megan were concerned about which photos I might have included, but I had nothing embarrassing in there. The memento seed packets also seemed to be well received. The day of the wedding was windy and hot, but all around us in Indiana were severe storms. In fact, some guests didn't make it due to flooded roads. We were in the only sunny spot of Indiana on Saturday. I heard this morning that 19 counties in Indiana were called disaster zones. I told Andy and Megan that the good weather in Huntingburg was a sign of good things to come for them. The wedding reception went smoothly and the food was excellent. People seemed to have a really good time, and the slide show played until the bride and groom arrived. After helping Cheryl and Allen pick up the rented decorations and carry leftover food to their van, we finally got to our room around 12:30 AM or so. Sunday we had breakfast with my family, and then met up with Megan's family at their house for the gift opening before heading back to St. Louis. All in all, I would say that the whole event was perfect, and I wouldn't have changed a thing.
