The comments made me laugh.  So fun to read them after the fact.

Thanks to Jeremy for posting the link to the wedding for us.  The definite/final word on the broadcast was late in coming, and we hadn't put the link on GP.

The questions may have been answered later in the sharing thread, but I thought I'd fill in the blanks that I saw while skimming the comments.

Not in any particlar order, here are a few answers:

We were signing the family Bible.  This Bible was given to my mother by her grandparents when I was three years old.  When I located the Bible to take it with us to the wedding, I found my parents' marriage license inside near the family history section.  :-)  It was so cool!
Unfortunately, we forgot to put a pen at the table before the ceremony, so there was some commotion at some point during the ceremony as to where the pen was coming from.
On the table was also a bud vase in memory of my mother, in which my brother had placed a white rose at the beginning of the ceremony.

*sigh*  I had been warned multiple times that the balloons would be in the way of the actual video.  Unfortunately, there were times where they did make it difficult to see on the video, but the "balloon lady" had said for sure that it would be okay.  :-(

I was REALLY bummed that I have no video (just the audio) of the children who were singing during the recessional.  They did an AMAZING job!!

I wanted the balloons down the center aisle badly, but they had to be moved to the side aisles because of the location of the camera (which was permanently mounted in the church and a different camera than was used for the webcast).

Yes, I said "jellybeans" during the song.  No, that isn't part of the song.  lol  I changed it to be more personal for us.  Taco loves the green apple jelly belly beans.  :-)

The song just seemed right for us somehow, with or without the changes.

The song was "Love Makes a Friend be a Friend Like You" from Sandi Patti's Friendship Company album.  :-)  Yes, it was from a children's album.

Yup.  Clown hats.  Courtesy of my brother, who had done a children's service at Dad's church the night before, as we had forgotten to bring our own.  I LOVED how my nephew was playing with the bells on my brother's hat as they came back down the aisle.  :-)

No, we didn't have tacos and skittles at the reception.  :-)  We DID, however, have bar-b-q and brightly-colored sixlets.  :bigcheese:

Yes, Jeremy.  It WAS an UP theme!  :-)



The lollipops surrounding the cake were chocolate molds of balloons in various colors.  :-)

The groom's cake was red velvet.

That was one of the funniest moments for me...when then light blub went off in my head and I realized it was a "Up" theme.  lol

Chel: The cake itself is pretty simple.  :-)

One DUNCAN HINES brand red velvet cake mix ($1.25 at WalMart; don't skimp and get any other brand for a cake)
Ignoring the ingredients list on the box, use the following:
Four large eggs
1 cup water
1/2 cup crisco oil
1 small box of INSTANT chocolate pudding (vanilla works, as well)

Mix and cook according to the directions on the box (approximately).  I usually check it a bit earlier than the box says.  A toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean when the cake is done.

My aunt made half of the icing, but the bottom layer of icing was my own concoction.
Mix one can of cream cheese icing (I think I used Duncan Hines) with one block of cream cheese.
Use the electric mixer to mix it together really well.

Ice the cake.

Keep hungry people away from it until you cut it into civilized slices that are ready to be shared.

Chel: Is there any (pretty please) chance that I can get a photoshopped version of that picture without the artwork on the wall behind the cake?

No wonder Chel liked the cake so much.  It had cream cheese icing. 

"Do you sing at church?"
"Yes I sing at church, I sing at home, at work, in the car, at the supermarket, at Wal-Mart..."

The red velvet cake had cream cheese icing.  Yes.  The other cakes had BetterCreme icing (like whipping cream).  It was chocolate, yellow and strawberry.  And I hate to brag, but I think most of them tasted really yummy!!  Thanks to Chel for collecting slices for us to take with us to our cottage.

I got news for you, that ain't the only place some slices went. 

The one with cream cheese icing didn't survive the trip though...  Fortunately I still have half of my pastor's wife's red velvet cake in slices in the freezer, so I gave her a slice. 
"Do you sing at church?"
"Yes I sing at church, I sing at home, at work, in the car, at the supermarket, at Wal-Mart..."

Yes, the other two slices survived.  They didn't have cream cheese icing.

If you are having a hard time locating Chel, just set out a bowl of the stuff.   :roll:

If someone can put a big smiley face over Chel's lovely smile, I'd love to see the GPer pic from the wedding. :)

(Or just email me the original... Muahahaha.) :bigcheese:

Ruby:  They weren't in the way.  We moved them from the center aisle before the wedding started.  But that's where I had wanted them to be: the center aisle.  *Shrug*  We still got married.  :-)

MY: So glad you got to be with us, virtually speaking.  :-)
