Bill and Veerle's Wedding

The McHusband's good friend Bill got married a couple weekends ago. Like us, he actually met his future bride in high school, but they didn't get together until after college. Funny how things work out sometimes, huh?

The ceremony location. It was soooo pretty.
















Here comes the bride, here comes the bride...





















First married smooch.





















Husband and wife!





















They got married at a little inn tucked away in a residential neighborhood. It had a little pool with a bridge over it. Here, let us show you.
































Our table with mostly high school buddies plus the McInlaws who had fun catching up with everyone.
















Eric and his girlfriend Priscila.

Some of you who have known the McHusband and me for a while will be familiar with Bill even though you've never met him because we made you listen to his messages that we saved FOR YEARS on our answering machine. Bill would call on my birthday and sing me a song (usually the traditional "Happy Birthday" but not always) and then he'd just hang up as soon as the song was done. One time, he called as "Tyrone" and said he met me at the gym. Anyway, Adam, the best man, was telling stories about how he'd see that Bill was calling him and sometimes he'd just let the call go to voicemail because he wanted to see what kind of message Bill would leave. I could totally relate.

I don't know where the transcript came from, but the important thing is Adam had it at the wedding and made Bill read it. And, more importantly, I got it on video.

{Quick note: Veerle's from Belgium, which is where Waffle Town comes from. I think. One can never be too sure when assuming how Bill's mind works.}


After the speeches, it was time for cake. Bill was nice to Veerle, but she didn't exactly return the favor.











































The cleaned-up groom and me.
















The photographer took a picture of all of us high school peeps, and the McMom was able to sneak in a few with my camera.
















Bill and Veerle hosted a cookout for the younger crowd at their house that evening. Guess who else got invited? Tucker! He and Paxton, Bill and Veerle's dog, destroyed Paxton's new toy.
















Check out that motley crew. From L to R: the McHusband, Eric, Adam, Eric, and Neeraj.
















Not only was it a great day to be at our friends' wedding, but we had a wonderful time catching up with old friends. So who's gonna get married next and host the subsequent reunion?
