My dad's wedding

So about two months ago, my dad told me that he met an amazing person named Jane. My dad had a girlfriend! It's been over 10 years since he's had a girlfriend, that I know of, that is. He was so happy and excited and couldn't wait for me to meet her. THEN he told me that he was engaged! That's CRAZY, but he's an adult, so what do I say besides congratulations, right?!

They seemed like a perfect match. She has been diving head first into all of his health food ways and he's gotten into her hobbies too. They both have strong personalities, but they're so happy to be with each other and are eager to find out more about the other. They are both serving one another and are always finding ways to make the other happy. I think they are in for a fun adventure together!

They decided to get married on a dinner cruise.

We decorated the car. That was fun:)

This is the only picture we took of just us kids when Kat and Matt were in town. Martin is still on his mission in Guadalajara, Mexico, so he will have to catch up using my blog when he gets back over a year from now. Jane's bishop married them. Matt was my dad's best man. He gave a pretty funny toast, but I missed the best part on my video. Matt started out with "Well, as the Best Man here . . ." (Then I got my camera out)This is the first PART of their first dance. After a while, they split and each grabbed other guests. I wasn't expecting my dad to come over and ask me to dance. I was in the middle of filming their first dance! Steven continued filming as you can see on the web album. It's good to get others up and dancing, but this group didn't need much to get up and dance! There was a live band playing down stairs under that chandelier.The new Mr. & Mrs.
Cheers!Texting family behind my dad's backCutting the cake. My dad wanted a cheese cake as his groom's cake. They didn't smash the cake in each other's faces, in case you were wondering.
There was a lot of dancing. Most people got up and even tried some swing, cha cha, and the electric slide to name a few.
When steven and I were newlyweds ourselves, we took private swing dance lessons. Our teacher was there. Steven wasn't too happy to be tricked into trying out his swing moves, but I was. I knew I would be the rediculous one w/ my big body taking up the dance floor, but it's still fun to get out there. I think Steven is like Jerry Sinfield in that he thinks dancing is totally stupid. He doesn't get why anyone likes to do it. He understands why people would WATCH really good dancers, but that's it. Anyway, we never finnished our private dance lessons b/c Steven had better things to do. Maybe some day (Yeah right).Their cruise ship, the Starlite PrincessLook how happy my dad looks!Matt threw mints, and I actually caught it on camera! Who needs rice, bells, or bubbles?I put the unedited pictures on a web album. It has some videos and the above pictures before I cropped them. The lighting wasn't that good and I didn't think to try to play with my settings much b/c they had another photographer and many other guests were taking lots of pictures.

Well, happy married life, Dad and Jane! Congratulations!
