You figure out which one is the Funeral.

The 2009 will be remembered as the year of weddings. Petra and I have never attended so many weddings! I guess it’s just that time in OUR lives when folks our age decide it’s THAT time in THEIR lives. For whatever reason, 12 of my friends decided this year was the year to tie the knot. Here is a retrospective of the knot tying smorgasbord in all it’s cheezy glory. Click on a photo to view pics or a video of the wedding. I’m just glad it’s another 5 months before wedding season returns, because my soft focus lens, wallet, and liver need a break.

All I can say is, we love you all and the best advice I can give you is to respect the one you love and just worry about what THEY need. They will take care of the rest.
