In a few weeks will be the one-year anniversary of KeeKeeMonster and my fall wedding. There's something about the warm colors and cool weather that is just beautiful and gives weddings a different feel.
This past weekend we kicked off our fall wedding season with the union of JoAnn and Chris. I've never been to a traditional Greek wedding ceremony before. It was looooong, but I found it kind of cool. I love religious ceremonies just because of the traditions and reverence of them.
Here they are after the crowning ceremony. They first hold these candles throughout the ceremony. Then the Koumbara (sp?)...the person who pretty much acts like the Godmother for their future children, no pressure ;) ) places the crowns joined by a single ribbon on their heads. Then they walk around the table together. The ceremony also included many prayers, drinking wine from a single cup, exchanging the rings multiple times...etc.
Like I said...kind of neat.
Here are the happy newlyweds...Mr. & Mrs Christopher Cruz!
After the ceremony we waited around outside the church for a while. Hubby wanted to see them drive off in the hot rods they all rode up in. He just wanted to see the finished flat-black truck that he did the body work on. ;)
Hubby at the Sheraton for the reception.
Crystal, Me, Joc (bridesmaid), the Bride JoAnn, Stacy, Holly, & Megan.
It was a super fun wedding. It was awesome hanging out with a bunch of old friends we haven't seen in a minute. And I danced my little ass off. My feet still hurt...a sign of good times.
