Heather and I slept overnight at home since we wanted to properly prepare ourselves for Dennis & Diana's wedding today. We showed up at the campground at 10 expecting to go for breakfast with Heather's parents. However, they got pulled into leading a group on the poker run so we'd have to do breakfast alone. After mingling with the rally-goers for about an hour we left the campground and went to the Black Forest Inn in Conestogo. It's worked many times before so why change now. The brunch was great as usual.
We arrived at the Blessed Sacrament church in Kitchener well before the 1 pm scheduled start of the wedding ceremony. Regardless of our early arrival, we found the groom and his groomsmen already waiting in the lobby. We chatted with Dennis as well as Remi for a while before proceeding to our seats. Since Remi was also in the wedding party, he asked that I hold on to his camera for the duration of the day. I agreed and decided instead to use his camera all day and then just have him send me the photos. Remi owns a Canon that is at least a couple of steps above what I use.
The ceremony started pretty much on time and lasted about an hour. Afterwards, the wedding party assembled outside for a group photo and a receiving line. Somehow, Heather and I ended up right at the front of the line to congratulate the newlyweds. Since the reception wasn't until 6 we went to visit Kim and Mike in Cambridge for a couple of hours. We stayed until 5:20 before leaving for the Armenian Hall in Cambridge. We found ourselves sitting at a table with Remi's parents, Dennis' friend Justin and his parents and another couple.
The reception started right at 6 but because there were nearly 300 guests, the party didn't start until 10. In the meantime, we enjoyed the various food that was put in front of us. That included a soup, salad, fish with rice, steak with potatoes and dessert. There was also a midnight table loaded with seafood, cakes and other goodies but I decided against it. Heather and I partied until 1 in the morning. Congratulations Dennis and Diana!
