The Wedding. . .

The Wedding was great!  Just fit the couple getting married.  They love their sports.  The men looked dapper in their tux and the ladies looked lovely in their dresses.   The men came out of the first base dugout and stood down the first base line.  The ladies came out of the third base dugout and stood down the third base line.  The groom and the preacher came from the first base dugout with a top hat and cane.  The bride came down from the stands and looked beautiful in her off white, strapless, tea length gown with a faux fur off the shoulder cape.   I must say I cry at most every wedding.  This one I did not.   I think my tear ducts may have been frozen.  It was quite chilly last night sitting out in the stands of the baseball field. 
Here is where it gets interesting.  After the vows and the pronouncing of marriage the groomsmen and bridesmaids leave the stadium.  As they are leaving each one has a baseball that they throw out to the fans or guests of the wedding.  Yes, I caught one.   We then go upstairs to the club floor for food and casino games.  That was a lot of fun.  Mark played craps and had the highest winnings with over $250,000++.  This was only in chips no money changed hands.   He did, however, win a prize for the highest winnings.   

I had the most fun at this wedding.  You just can't beat baseball and casino games.

Getting ready for a Wedding

One of Mark's best friends is getting married this weekend and I have nothing to wear.  What else is new right?  Well this is going to be one of the most unique weddings I have ever attended.  They are getting married at a baseball stadium.  They are saying their vows on home plate.  The bride and groom are both in to sports really big so this is really not unusual for them.  It is unusual for me.  We are going to be sitting outside in the cold for the ceremony and then inside the club floor of the stadium for the reception.  So what do I wear?  Mark said I could bring a stadium blanket to keep me warm and nobody would say anything.   Oh, here is the other cool thing.  The groomsmen all get to go on the field and play ball before the wedding and then they are getting dressed in the locker room .  This is probably the only wedding Mark has been excited about attending and being a part of, including our own.   He hates all the getting dressed up hulabaloo.   Mark's brother is going to be watching the kids for us, poor guy.   Oh, and the reception has a casino night theme.  I am so excited but, I still have nothing to wear.
