Wedding memories

 It's only been 9 days since the Wedding!  Seems in some ways just yesterday and in others an eternity.  Such is the nature of time.  The photographer has a website with the "gallery" of photos up for a month.  I checked with the bride to make sure she has the rights to the images before putting a couple of them up on Facebook.  One is of Carl, of course!

In the order of service, this was as the officiant (Rev Amy) was explaining how the young couple met, with their first date at the dog park, and introducing that the bride and groom had selected readings for one another.  Carl was not content with his role as ring bearer alone, and decided he was also the Wedding Singer.

The wind chill was 31℉, and most of that was indeed the wind effect.  If you put your back to the wind, it did not seem so terrible.  I look at Rosa's feet in sandals, while she holds Carl's leash... brrr!  Extra duty for the wife of the best man!

That's enough, Carl, says grandma, having put her coat back on.  I stood there petting him to keep him quiet so the humans could hear all the words of significance.


The groom, his mom, and the ring bearer, before the service.


The whole wedding party, left to right:  Best man, mother of groom, groom, bride, mother and father of the bride, man of honor.  And of course the four-pawed ring bearer in front of us all.


The bride and groom in a flirty moment right before... "last chance to run"!  Neither looks like they are going to do so, do they?




With joined hands, now bonded for life together.

Oh, yes, and promised to Alicia:  the rings photos.

Collecting them from the Ring Bearer, here.
On their fingers, here.

Life is good!  Love is eternal.

Spark on!

    1. Thank you. Carl did well, allowing for that "tux" collar to be on not just for the wedding, but also for the reception the next day. For a dog that normally sheds wardrobe in ten seconds, he's been trained up.

    1. I'm sure we all would have, were we not shivering so much! 🥶 Seriously, once I got him quiet, it was a much more enjoyable ceremony! I seem to have found the formula to get Carl to happily eat his meds, so we're good on that front. As for clever ways to scratch? Dogs are past masters. But that's for another blog.
