Here are a few photos…I will post more in my photo album shortly…from the wedding of Brian Derr and Sarah. Brian is the son of my sister Kim’s ex-husband. She did not adopt him so I guess he is kind of a pseudo-step nephew. No matter how I describe the relationship, Brian is a great guy and Sarah is a great gal.
He and Sarah, who met at a JMU running club, are privileged to have each other. I was thrilled to have been invited to their wedding. The ceremony took place in an Episcopal church in Smithfield, Virginia. The reception was at a hotel in Suffolk. Both the ceremony and the reception were well attended and very enjoyable. I wish Brian and Sarah great happiness in their life together!
The priest, Father Ross, if I remember correctly, asked we attendees to completely turn off all wireless devices and refrain from taking pictures or movies. A number of us discretely stowed our cameras and leaned back to take in the ceremony.
Later, after the ceremony, at the reception, while everyone was finding and/or occupying their seats at the dining tables, Father Ross came up to my table, where I sat alone, for the moment, and said that his place card indicated that he was sitting with us, us being at least Kim, Don, Julie, Ed, and me. Somewhat disconcerted, I asked him if that meant we had to stop drinking and swearing. He hoisted his glass of wine to me and said “Hell no!”
