The Day After the Wedding

(Steven Writes 10/3/04)
The wedding is over and today it was time to relax and enjoy the memories of the past few days. The wedding ceremony and the reception were just "storybook". Carol glowed with the radiance expected of a new bride. She was just beautiful and gracious, (of course). The months of planning and stresses came to a head after the toasting was over; Carol broke down and wept. The emotional relief was just incredible. All in, she planned a perfect wedding, she can boast about for the rest of her life. Below are pictures of the B&B we rented out for the ladies of the bridal party. Everyone was invited to the house for breakfast. Most chose to go elsewhere. Those that did attend were greeted with a beautiful morning and a magnificent view of the Bear Mountain Bridge looking south down the Hudson River.

Wedding Rehersal Dinner

(Steven writes 10/1/04)
What an evening. The rehersal at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church went well. After about an hour of practice and instruction from Father Carl Johnson, we all headed to the Napper Tandy restaurant in Monroe, NY to have dinner. We rented out the main dining room were ~60 of our closest friends and family sat down to a great meal. The kids table was adorned with goodie bags compliments on my fiance' who is forever amazing me with little details that make our lives extra special.
