The next morning, we ran into Sylvia
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050027
on her way to the beauty parlor and got the before picture before her driver came
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050028
We went off to explore a little of the Inner Harbor pausing to admire the Bromo Seltzer
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050029
clock before running into Larry
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050030
at the aquarium where his group clutched their tickets
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050031
and we had a group effort to celebrate JonMarens'
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050032
birthday which can still be represented on less than 6 complete hands. This kept us
amused until Jason
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050033
arrived to get his ticket. Of course, seeing the aquarium kept them from seeing the real
sights of the harbor
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050034
and the waterfall
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050035
you could walk through and the statue of Thurgood Marshall
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050036
This led up to the main event, so Benjamin put on his tux
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050037
David put on his suit
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050038
and Jane showed Benjamin how to walk down the aisle
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050039
so he could practice in the parking lot
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050040
We had some photo ops outside the church
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050041
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050042
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050043
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050044
before Benjamin went in to the church
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050045
to get his pillow
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050046
While we were waiting, we greeted Barbara,
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050047
Eric,
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050048
Larry,
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050049
Dan alone,
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050050
and with Sylvia,
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050051
Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050052
Paige and JonMarens,
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050053
and Betsy and Michelle
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050054
before zooming in on the bride
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050055
and her mother
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050056
Benjamin and the flower girl got ready
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050057
and had a practice step
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050058
before they hit the aisle
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050059
in front of the bride on her Dad's arm
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050060
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050061
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050062
until she joined Matt at the front of the church
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050063
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050064
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050065
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050066
while the best man helped the priest get the rings ready
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050067
and then they were married
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050068
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050069
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050070
and lit the candles of life
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050071
as the bridesmaids
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050072
watched, Michelle got ready to step in
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050073
and Benjamin played with the pillow
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050074
After a final blessing
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050075
they walked out as husband and wife
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050076
followed by the ring bearer and flower girl
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050077
Outside the church, the crowds gathered
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050078
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050079
and the wedding party waited
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050080
so that the bubbles could be blown.
Benjamin practiced
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050081
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050082
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050083
cousin Rachel (without the beard) taught Aunt Florence to blow bubbles
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050084
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050085
and anticipation increased
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050086
until they
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050087
appeared.
On the way to the reception, we ran into the photographers who needed Benjamin to
complete these pictures
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050088
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050089
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050090
Inside, we captured Jason and Michelle
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050091
JonMarens and Paige
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050092
Toba and Emily
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050100
and Toba, Ellen and Emily
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050101
We also took some possible campaign photos for LaHabra'2000
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050093
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050094
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050095
before the photographers
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050099
decided to take group pictures of all of us and this kind woman
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060104
helped us take our own pictures
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050096
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050097
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8050098
Next it was time to dance, so Benjamin and Sarah hit the floor
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060102
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060103
but they were overshadowed when people started to be hoisted up on chairs. First Betsy
and Matt
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060105
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060106
then Dick and Fran
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060107
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060108
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060109
then Pat and Joe
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060110
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060111
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060112
and Sylvia
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060113
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060114
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060115
../../../Sabbat/BetsyMattWedding//P8060116
