The Bial Wedding

we have these two friends who tried to slip off to mexico to get married. when they returned to the states, the said they 'were married...sort of.' something got tied up with their paperwork and were unable to get legally married. while they were able to go through the spiritual ceremony, they had to call us in for the legal ceremony. while we thought that the legal ceremony should be performed on a metro bus, we all opted for the lovely renton piazza; the site of many weddings!

Kris Ann & Jon [Bride & Groom]
they stole our camera.

the bride and groom with The Reverend Wesley Van Doren.
while wesley's reverend-osity is a whole other story, it should
be known that he is wearing jon's judicial graduation robe.

the reverend planned out the whole ceremony. declaration of marriage,
poem of love, and pronouncement of the married.

the declaration of marriage got me a little choked up. i'm
glad that jon had a tissue in his pocket.

andrea reading the poem of love got me again.

finishing up my interpretive dance to the poem of love.

the rev pronouncing the marriage.

the kiss.

the rev pronounce jon and kris ann husband and wife!

it's so happy....it makes me sad [if that makes sense].

the newlyweds cutting the cake [sort of.] it was a beautiful ceremony
and we wish the couple a life filled with love and happiness!
