What a beautiful, .....eventful wedding!
While waiting for the shuttle to the ceremony, we see fire trucks outside of the connecting hotel. We joked that the bridal party had been involved....no joke. They were! Turns out, someone hung the wedding dress from a sprinkler and set off the fire alarm. Not just water, but years of dust and debris poured out of the sprinklers and onto the bridal party. The girls were in their dresses, hair done, make up on. They grabbed what they could and ran out, blackened and soaked from head to toe. They were such troopers. The bride took it as a sign to focus on what the day was really about & took some great pictures with the firemen.
The ceremony was at 11am. (you don't have a choice of time when you get married at the BEAUTIFUL Notre Dame Basilica).
We arrived at the ceremony to find an ambulance. Thankfully, Aunt Mary Ellen & some angels from Miseracordia had surprised everyone by bringing my cousin Jamie (David's brother and co-best man) to be a part of the ceremony. It was such a wonderful surprise and it just made everything perfect. I sobbed through the entire ceremony and I don't care who knows it!

Stay with me people.
Dang, it was hot! We sat under a misting tent eating and drinking when we should have been in the air conditioned hotel, napping.
Due to the lack of napping and the heat induced drinking (right), it got pretty crazy. This is the ONE decent photo I can share :)
