Sunday, THE day, began with a meeting with the bride and groom as we headed to breakfast and I filled my plate as well as my cups while we all admired Mackenzie as her grandfather ate bacon and her mother observed the other table while Larry and I wondered if the pancake syrup would rescue the waffles and wondered what Jason was photographing, perhaps, this crowd?

We went outside where Larry and I talked to Mackenzie before she headed off

and then returned to go off on an adventure with us and then back from the golf course to the gazebo where photos were taken of everyone and then specialized on Mackenzie Fran Ed Michelle and Mackenzie

Fran Jason Sarah Ed Ben Dick and Larry and me before Suzanne appeared and we headed off on the path learning the rules as we explored and then Sarah tried to remove the sword from the stone (without success) and Jason and Mackenzie had the same problem before returning tot eh path (which made the golfers nervous) and on to the basketball court from which it became clear we should be heading to the pool where Suzanne and Jane relaxed while Dick and Larry conversed

perhaps about what the beach people

were thinking but almost certainly not about the recharging of the camera battery which happened int he privacy of our room.

Of course, we were assembled to go to a wedding and so prepare to go to a wedding we did as Jane and Ed got dressed, and I put on my outfit as did Ben and Ed, Sarah and Ben posed before I tried my hand at bridal photographs (as in hold that pose ) of Suzanne and we headed down to the bus where we were greeted by Mackenzie as our group assembled for photos of Dick, Fran and Mackenzie of Michelle and Mackenzie and of Michelle, Jason and Mackenzie before Larry and Penny decided to head off on the early bus that lost its way and ever increasing family members starting with Suzanne and Sarah then Jane, Suzanne and Sarah

then Ben, Jane, Suzanne and Sarah then the 5 of us

and then the 6 of us

assembled for a photo marathon before we got on the bus and Ben displayed his wound.

This was the arrangement at the wedding

this was the program

these were the chandeliers and these were the chupah bearers

before the groom appeared with his parents and the bride entered with hers and so the ceremony could begin for the bride and groom

as the parents looked on and the ceremony continued

until at the end, I admired Jane's shoe and we walked through chickens -- rubber and real to claim our place cards from among the chickens and on passing this appetizer I received a wonderful drink -- pomegranate juice with vodka and triple sec -- from this friendly bar tender and went off to have Mackenzie show me how the chicken laid its egg and admired Ben's flamingo tie as the band played on and we met Dan's mother and their friend who had been at the New Hampshire hippie festival before finding the bride bride and groom with friends

and finally the bride and groom

for pictures before returning to our table where Ed admired the tablecloth which had been his family's curtains while growing up.

After a few pictures of Suzanne and Michelle

and others of Jason and Mackenzie

we said good bye to our last tidbit of food and went to the dancing area where we saw Larry and Michelle and a group of people in a hurry including Ed as Mackenzie perched on Jason's shoulders and Jane, Sarah and Ed as Larry and Francine watched the dancers and all cheered as Mackenzie and Michelle and Suzanne danced and then Sarah and Ed Ben, Sarah and Ed Jane, Ben, Sarah and Ed Jason, Larry, Jane, Ben, Sarah and Ed Jason, Larry, Jane, Ben, Sarah, Ed and Suzanne and Ben and Jane posed while Dan and Rachel were raised in chairs to the applause of our group as Eric and Barbara were next lifted in chairs though Mackenzie and her new friends were dancing and oblivious to this even as Dan's parents were elevated in their chairs the small ones kept dancing as Penny, Isabel, Bonnie and Bob watched their last dance and after a short stop at the Men's room and admiration of the plantings Ben and I progressed with our hats through the crowd to the soup course and this picture of me was taken by my neighbor as we recorded the menu and the first pictures from the photo booth but not before getting some more food menu pictures and food and then going off to admire the cake and taking yet more pictures even as these pictures of Ben, Jane, me and Larry were taken by the camera shy photographer and these additional pictures were taken by the photo booth as the Funk Brothers began to perform and I was unable to record the information from chacha on Ed's phone that told me the story of the Funk Brothers but a few more photos led Ben to dance with Suzanne and Jane as I photographed the progression of desserts that I felt compelled to eat

with coffee to wash down the last dessert so that I could record the centerpieces and watch the family dance before Eric came to join Sarah and Ed and certify their dancing which amused Jane Suzanne, Sarah and Ed as I headed back to my table to partake of the wedding cake.
