| The wedding itself was beautiful... |
I will go to my grave with the image of Megan in her wedding gown seared into my brain. I've always felt she was gorgeous, but I was completely blown away when she stepped into the church with her Father. As my Groomsmen will happily attest, I was crying. And if I -never- see anything as beautiful, I shan't be surprised. Blessings abounded: My stutter didn't flare up, noone passed out, and Megan and I both remembered to speak at the right times. *^_^* After the ceremony, most everyone adjourned to the reception hall. Waiting for Megan and I was a lovely white Rolls Royce limo, secured as a 'surprise' by Megan's Father. (Many, MANY thanks to the good Dr., that was a -marvelous- surprise!) The reception was a wonderful party, and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves. The food was good (though I didn't get much of mine, too much to do, too many butterflies...) and the DJ, the Mayor of Megan's hometown, was marvelous. Once I get the pictures back, I'll scan a half ton of them in and put a link to a picture page. :) | ||||||||

| Megan and I are currently residing back in my home state of Maryland, and preparing to close/move into a house. We've returned to our jobs, and look forward to continuing the good start we've made. I feel so very fortunate that I found her. She really is everything I've ever dreamed of... | Back in reality... | ||||||||

| However, there were some glitches... |
For those of you in the Washington DC Metroplex, STAY AWAY FROM MASTER'S TUXEDO!!! The branch in Forestville, MD, managed to hose us pretty well. The manager, a rather pompous and inefficient individual, not only managed to mess up the measurements for half of the tux's, he didn't have them ordered on time either. We ended up with two different (though similar) coats, two TOTALLY different types of shoes, missing accessory packs, a missing vest, ill fitting garments, and the ones we -did- have were stained. I'm not terribly pleased. They -did-, after I went back and threw a LOUD fit, give us a 30% refund. I'm still not happy. Steer clear of these jokers. As for the Bridesmaid's dresses, I can also warn you away from DAVID'S BRIDAL. Megan's poor Mother should be nominated for Sainthood after the war she fought for the dresses. First it was 'lost', then it was 'delayed', then they had 'no record'. Eventually, the Corporate office was contacted, and the dresses were specially shipped in, leaving less than 3 weeks to get all the alterations and fittings done. Seriously uncool, and the attitude of the women in the David's store was atrocious. Want a nice wedding? Don't go here. There were a number of smaller glitches, most of which have since been ironed out. In short, before you decide to deal with someone, look around, and keep your ears open. | ||||||||
