Laura and Gene

What a great wedding to end the season! It was just one of those days that even though we had a slight hitch, both Laura and Gene had such a positive outlook the day could not help but be a success and laughed off the problem.

What happened you might ask? I was in the house when one of the bridesmaids told me the trolley limo was broken! Immediately I started thinking about how we could get the bride, bridesmaids and family to the church on time. I knew that with some rearranging of the equipement in my van, I could take 5 people with me.

I went outside to see what was happening and saw this amazing sight! Did I mention that Laura's dad just retired from Delta Airlines after 30 some odd years as an airplane mechanic and manager.



After a couple of minutes under the trolley, Joe emerged with the problem well in hand and the bridal party was ready to goto the church. If it wasn't for Joe's quick repair who knows how late this wedding could have been.


After the ceremony, we went to the reception site, Ruffled Feathers to take photos of Gene and his entourage. Since this was a 12:30 wedding, we did not have time to finish these photos at the church before the wedding. I'm glad we had the chance to get outside for this photo.


Later on, we all took a ride back to the hotel to rest for about an hour. I was invited to join the group and decided to accompany them to take some more photos. Here's the bride and groom sharing a Wendy's french fry.


Finally we returned to the reception hall. There Laura surprised Gene with a cake which duplicated his airplane. She had taken a photo of it to the baker who created this edible plane.

Yes, this was quite a memorable wedding which ended the 2006 wedding season. I already have many 2007 dates booked and wonder what next wedding season has in store for me.
