Ben and Jackie's Wedding






Well, Tyra and I had a great time in California. First I'll post about the main event. We had fun the night before meeting Jackie's family for the first time at the rehearsal dinner. Then Sat. we went to the Burbank Methodist Church where we witnessed their union, as performed by the Methodist minister. Jackie's dress was so pretty and flattering. Ben didn't look too bad himself :) Noah was a perfect ringbearer and helper for little Julia the flower girl. Micah was the best man and everyone else in the line was either Jackie's siblings or Ben's co-worker. We then went up to the Castaway (fancy restaurant on the hill) for the reception. We enjoyed watching Ben and Jackie dance a dance they'd practiced. The food was the best wedding dinner I've eaten. Tyra and Noah got a chance to run around together outside during the belly dancer's entertainment, then there was the traditional bouquet toss with Tyra and Grandma dancing together with the other single ladies, the garter flip, and many more activities. By the time the dance floor was open for everyone to dance Tyra was super tired. So after a dance or two with Grandpa Lee I took Tyra back to my friend Marbell's house to sleep around 10:30.
