I hope my normal readers will allow me an extra large post this time...
Mike and Ronda were married in their back yard, up in Elkhart County. We began, however, with portraits the night before in a local park. This was the best the weather was.
Cousins Deb & Jim were the honor attendants.
Don't worry, this is normal behavior...
Ronda's gift to Mike... yep, that's a cake!
When it wasn't raining we all chipped in to get the backyard set, coolers stocked with drinks, etc.
That's my mom in her little rain poncho. She played traffic cop early in the day and told everyone where to park...
Yep... it was like this until the ceremony was over...
Mike and his daughter... Ronda said that jersey cost as much as renting a tux - so why not let him wear it and be comfy!
Ronda and her girls waiting for the bridal march... someone kicked the power cord, so it took a few minutes to sort out what the delay was... (Note to other brides: get a professional DJ!)
Cousin Deb hugs Ronda, while Cousin Cindy adds the bubbles!
Ronda made Mike cut the #3 cake - for fear that he'd try to stick in on a shelf and try to keep it forever.
Yes... they had cake smooshing. Note to Grooms... don't be the first to smoosh cake... paybacks are heck!
The rain let up long enough for us to get some fun in.
That's my niece Chrissy. Don't mess with her! She gets what she wants!
