How We Spent our Saturday

   We went to a wedding this afternoon at the Masonic Community in Utica...actually, it was a renewal.  Jeff had worked with the groom, Doug

Christine, Doug and Jeff

Rocker, in the Utica Public school system twenty years ago and hadn't seen him since he had left that job.  Doug and Christine had originally gotten married in 1997 at the chapel at the Masonic Home and for their anniversary they renewed their vows there. 

I haven't been at the Masonic Home in about 15

The Masonic Home's Chapel

years and I hadn't ever visited their chapel.  It's tastefully decorated with several beautiful stain glass window including these 3 behind the altar of faith, hope and charity.

There were 7 other guys from the old job at the
wedding.  There was a lot of 'what happened to your hair','...your waist',
'I'd never recognize you'. etc.  I was surprised men were as bad as women in this department!

The reception was at the American Legion in N Utica and featured an open bar and a very nice meal, and a DJ with a nice selection of pre-recorded music.

Guess who was one of the first on the dance floor

dancing with the bride?  Jeff even danced with me! The photographer got a shot of that, wish I could have!

Jeff can dance...with Christine!

Tuesday we're meeting Doug and Christine for supper at the Knight Spot in Frankfort (it's centrally located for both of us and the food is pretty good.)   They'll be in Utica until the end of the month before going home to Arizona.
