darris' wedding

shawn was beautiful. the wedding was beautiful. there was a HUGE storm friday night/saturday morning, but cleared for sunshine so outdoor pictures could be taken. everything went great until the power went out 20 minutes before the ceremony began. the ceremony was still wonderful. we found out later that there had been a car accident nearby and an electrical pole was hit and an entire grid of power was out. completely impressed with the caterers. all the food was cooked, hot food hot and cold food cold.
