Wedding Day

I would normally feel bad about making you sit and look through wedding photos, but since you can always click away and surf the internet to other things (but - really - c'mon, what's going to be better than this?)... The order of images may not be exactly right, but this is how I remember it, chronologically, or at least as near as makes no difference.  Remember, you can click on the pictures to see them in a larger format.

I've alway enjoyed the 'getting ready' pictures. Here we see the lovely Ms. Alix helping out an old man.

Aw, the old man returns the favor.  Hi, old man.

Family portrait anyone?

I love this one.

Ah, booze...erm...I mean, isn't she lovely?
  



After a short drive and a long hike...

The wedding party

Here, we see a herd of wild Groupous Matrimonious in their natural habitat. 

It's hard not to smile when you get to marry such a wonderful woman.

Look at the wonderfulness.  LOOK AT IT!

A decent attempt at handsomeness.  Note the baby-butt-smooth shave.

Yeah, so?

Cue the romantic music.

That's right, funny boy.  Keep her laughing so she doesn't come to her senses.

  
These are flower...and succulents (probably the green stuff)

So, do you come here often?

Edisto Island, SC


Hi again!  Back for more, eh?  Ok...

This is me.  In the background is a waiter photobombing.  This photo is to be treasured as it is rare that I look decent in a picture.  I think I don't look too shabby here.

This is my Honey.  She takes her oral/dental hygiene seriously.  Look at how much she enjoys brushing!  So much so that she didn't mind me taking this photo (and the rest of the 'brushing' series) at all.

This is my Honey in her natural environment...behind a camera.  She takes amazing pictures.

These are historic steps.  I don't know why, it didn't say. The sign that told me they were historic also told me to use at my own risk.  I was a risk-taker that day.  I'm thinking of getting Historic Steps Survivor t-shirts made.

This is Honey Magoo.  I made her put those on and pose for this picture.  I think she's adorable, don't you?

This is the Low Country Bistro.  One of the many fine places at which we ate.  There was also on not-so-fine place, but that's another tale.

This is why we stopped in that day.  Quail Confit on a Cornbread Waffle - WHAAA?!?!


It turns out they also have an Award Winning She-Crab Soup.  This is how they make it (though I believe some steps are missing).  Rather than make our own, we ordered theirs.  It deserves every award it got.


Insert witty caption here...if you know what I mean.

Why, yes! Yes, I do know what you mean.

Here's us being slightly less dorky.

I'm not good at picture taking.  Selfies clearly are beyond my skill set. (Note how white and shiny Honey's teeth are?)


This is the little Honey at the not-so-fine restaurant.  I'll give you a hint: It's in Savannah and it rhymes with The Shlady and Schluns.
 



Yeah, we're awesome.

Honey likes Charleston. 

 
We also went to the beach several times.

Ubiqitous gulls

The view from our rental didn't suck.

I want one.

This is a really old 'ice house'

You put your ice in here.


 
When beach-time was over, there's always the woods.

Spanish Moss...or perhaps the surface of the planet Endor, though I saw no Ewoks.

The road to Relaxo

Still the road...lots of road...so many road.

Our Wedding

 Welcome to Weddingpalooza 2014!

Cardbot 3000 welcomes you.

I got me a wife.

She's adorable.

 

That's her over there in the stylish footwear.  I'm pointing at her to help you identify to which one of us I'm referring.  Although my shoes are quite fetching as well, in my humble opinion.

I was told there would be no dancing.  But I just couldn't help myself.  Any excuse to be near her.

This is a picture of Pope Francis.  He was not at the wedding.  This saddened him a bit.

The lovely Alix: daughter, dragon and maid of honor.

Alix and My Little Honey.  Don't they look beautiful?

Ya gotta admit, they're pretty snazzy.

Waiting for deliciousness.

And, while waiting, why not be fabulous?

Tiny family. Just missing Adam, Grace and the wee Perfect Parker.

Did I mention that I adore her?  I think she's a bit fond of me, too.
