The ceremony took place out at UT Scarborough, at Miller Lash House.
We couldn't have asked for better weather, and Allison and Sean certainly picked a handsome setting. The house was useful for the bridal party and the groom to be sequestered separately until the ceremony. The grounds, meanwhile, were stunning, and Darth's friend David (was he there? If so, I regret not meeting him) had provided some lovely flowers.
Yes, we could hear activity on nearby tennis courts, but no matter. It was wonderful.Sean, his brother Mark, and his cousin Tom had driven over in their restored cars.
I'm not a car person. Dad will read this and laugh because I just don't know one vehicle from another. Red, green, blue, whatever. But still, I can appreciate that the guys had taken such care to restore some older vehicles, and they were a cool addition to the wedding.The groomsmen weren't there too long
before the bride arrived, so we scattered quickly to take care of some last minute things. While Sean and his best man, Kevin, remained inside, the rest of us groomsmen began guiding guests to the seats.
A couple of musicians played gently
(and a bagpiper sounded the start of the bridal procession - Allison is a good Scottish lass. Daniel, if you read this, that's Scottish, not Scotch). The officiant greeted the guests and laid down a few ground rules, or something like that.
With humour, of course. He performed the ceremony with great good humour, all in all. Can't you tell: look at the groomsmen.
Oh, there were solemn moments, deeply emotional points that had us attentive. But we laughed a lot, too.Conrad sat out among the guests and enjoyed the ceremony from there. The bridesmaids came in (look how lovely Brenda is)
, and before you knew it, we had newlyweds on our hands and the wedding party was heading back up the slope we'd first come down.
The first part was over, and it went very well indeed.
