Wedding Bells are Ringing!

Jerry's student, Jane, and her new husband

The bustling banquet hall

One, of about 15 times they showered the bride and groom with confetti. . . the gentleman on the left is the MC for the reception . . . One loud and boisterous MC!!!

Rachel had a blast playing with the other children while we were enjoying the banquet . . . and the boy behind her here even informed Jerry that she didn't understand him and translated for her when he came to tell her that she shouldn't run aound the tables . . . quite funny!


This was our very first Invitation to a Wedding Celebration! (note I did not say the first wedding celebration we had been present for. . . one of the larger resturants we have attended a couple of times is a very popular "wedding banquet destination", but apparently not private, because both times we have gone during a wedding banquet and we were still seated and waited on as if nothing unusual was happening! We always wanted to crash a wedding reception . . . and i guess now we have!) It really was a fun time of celebration, Jane and her new husband were so very happy . . . and exhausted! I guess our cultures aren't that different when it comes to the bottom line of weddings. . . a happy and exhausted couple head off into the sunset!
