Tieing The Knot (with first pictures)
May. 14th, 2009 08:57 amWe had a perfect day yesterday.
Woke up and made breakfast - then all of us headed out to Landa Park to hang out. Got back and got ready to leave for Austin.
Made it to the church (Austin Center for Religious Science) without getting lost! (yay)
Marcel and I would probably have been so nervous if it wasn't for 4 kids all talking at the same time.
Melanie had everything set up so nice. Everyone sat in a semi-circle for the ceremony.
Who witnessed: Marcel's Children Michael Felicita, and Dominik - Sierra - Joe & Bea - Melanie's husband Dirk - Melanie (of course!), Lisa & her mother.
After the ceremony Lisa performed "Wonderful Wonderful" by Johnny Mathis - so perfect (she rocks!)
We ate at Madam Mam's later which was a few doors down - and stopped at HEB to pick up ice cream on the way home :-)
So yes - awesome way to tie the knot. Very low key and casual. Suited us perfectly.
The pictures behind the cut are a little blurry. I think the flash wasn't working correctly. Dirk also took pictures, and video - so I'm looking forward to seeing them! Here is what I have anyway so I have something to share.
