Next day, we began with breakfast at the hotel as Marilyn from El Paso joined us and Suzanne and Richard and Hannah watched as I took this picture of Dick in too much darkness as Sally and Robert arrived and Robert joined Suzanne until she took her phone call (politely) away from the others.

Next we decided to go for a walk past the synagogue where the ceremony would take place and Robert took a picture that undoubtedly looked like this as we marched on and on the way back, I recorded the frisbee player sculptures as the hotel came into view and then the fishermen before we met Ben and Jerry in the lobby of the hotel and as Hannah and Vickie appeared we headed off to lunch at the Deli Tech where pickles were served as Vickie, Hannah and Sally sat in front of the mural with Michael and Robert as Richard and Jerry gave their order and pictures were taken of Suzanne me Richard Richard and Vickie and Sally and Ben until the bloody Marys Sally's salad my meal Robert's soup and Suzanne's lunch arrived and the waitress took this pictures of (almost) all of us.

After a short break, we dressed for the wedding but attempts to record ourselves didn't seem to work so we had Robert take this photo of the two of us as Sally and the Seigel's arrived and we assembled so that someone from the hotel could take these pictures of all of us before we departed. When we arrived, this gentleman was nice enough to explain the process to us and so we (Robert, Richard and I) joined the men who were negotiating with the groom the marriage contract

after which they escorted the groom to be sure that he was getting the right bride and sang and danced as they went ../../../Sabbat/2009/06.20-29.09ColoradoTrip/06.27-29.09LeahAngermanWedding// finally reaching the room where the bride and women folk were so that we could cheer them on

as Sally and Suzanne watched.

Next we were seated for the ceremony

as the photographer assumed his perch all waited as Ben and Rachel walked in followed by the groom and then as the crowd watched the bride came in and people settled as the ceremony began and at its conclusion there was a great deal of fanfare to escort the bride and groom off before we found Richard and watched the photographer take this picture of Hannah as foods were served

until we headed outside and watched this child as the families assembled for photos beginning with the groom's family as Rachel and Ben emerged and Rachel posed with Robert and then Ben, Robert and Rachel posed

as Anne and Jerry emerged as a photograph of the groom's extended family was happening

as Suzanne and Anne visited while photos of the bride and groom and his parents and grandparents were taken followed by pictures of the bride, groom and their parents as Richard and Suzanne posed and then shot a picture of me and Suzanne Meanwhile pictures with the groom's parents were winding down as the bride's family began to assemble for the next collection of photos

which got Robert busy trying to get his picture and as Anne's family assembled the photographer took a few of these pictures before it was our turn, though no pictures were taken with my camera. Meanwhile, we recorded this father and his 2 children The final pictures were assembled and taken and we decided to capture some photos of the chupah before getting these pictures of Anne and Jerry and settling at our table where the salad course had been served. AT Table 7 were Hannah and Sally Richard and Vickie but the real action was on the dance floor where hopefully these photos are self explanatory because I'm not sure that I can do the event justice with words.

even as the groom was lifting on the shoulders of another

the dancing continued

and seats were brought so that dances could be offered to the groom and (at different times) his father, grandfather and other close relatives but soon he was lifted again as Suzanne re-entered the room and the parents assembled for a series of toasts

which captivated the audience old and young including flower girl Sierra here as the toasts continued to the serving of the main course for meat eaters and vegetarians followed by Rachel's very touching toast which cheered the bride and groom and as she continued they continued to appreciate her words and then the dancing continued with warm feelings to the groom from his father and new father-in-law and then there were seats for the bride and groom as their friends offered dances to them

which continued both for those sitting and those dancing until after a few more pictures I realized I should be shooting movies to capture motion and sound ../../../Sabbat/2009/06.20-29.09ColoradoTrip/06.27-29.09LeahAngermanWedding// ../../../Sabbat/2009/06.20-29.09ColoradoTrip/06.27-29.09LeahAngermanWedding// and after a bit more dancing

I recorded the dance between the bride and her father ../../../Sabbat/2009/06.20-29.09ColoradoTrip/06.27-29.09LeahAngermanWedding// and then watched as the bride was carried into the male room

and bid adieu to the photographers.
