Congrats
Thanks GoIrish, and thanks to everyone who gave us their prayers, thoughts, etc. It was truly appreciated.
The day/night went about as smoothly as I could have ever imagined. The weather was perfect save for a bit of rain. The wedding was great, the reception was incredible, both families got along great, the best men/maid of honor speeches were perfect, the bride was beautiful, the groom not so much but he tried.
Everyone that came to ND from out of town was blown away with its beauty. My best men's (twins) parents, who were the first to introduce me to ND football many moons ago, visited for the first time and were moved to tears, especially at the Grotto. My brothers, even the die-hard USC fan, were in awe, as well as my cousins who came from Canada. ND truly is a special place.
It definitely doesn't suck to have your wedding photos taken at ND. The reception was in the South Dining Hall, but before that we took pictures at the Grotto, the Rock, the Golden Dome, and other tree-lined sites. By no means am I a rich guy, so this was a blessing. Our photographer was the photographer who does the ND games for the SB Tribune, a young guy who did a great job and had some great ND/CW stories.
Anyway, that's my story. GoIrish, I took your advice and soaked it all in. It was fantastic. After the reception ended at 11:00, the alcohol was flowing in the younger people (open bar all night yo!), so we (about 20-25 of us) finished the night at the Backer. Our friends closed the bar down at 3; the lady and I left at 1:30. The Backer was slamming! Even with the cigarette smoke all over my tux LOL. Back to ND football...
Congrats dude!!!! It will be a magical day.
I'm getting married next summer and am thinking to have the ND fight song play after we are pronounced wed. Would it be wrong to blindside blitz around my wifes bridesmaids and totally lay my new wife out. I dunno if she would be all about it but that fight song makes me want to hit someone.
What is one of her larger bridesmaid's pancakes me? Would that be fun?Decking your new wife would be a pretty bad idea.
