That Wedding Thing

forsythBecause I've been lazy and not gotten around to posting the summary. Also, pictures of me in a tux. Which is probably the main thing most of you care about, since none of you know the people who got married.
Okay, the wedding. Most of my job, as a groomsman, was... basically to stand around, it seemed. And stay relaxed and keep the groom from freaking out. And take care of the random little things that needed to be taken care of. Which wasn't much, really. So mostly stand around. No fights to break up, and we didn't even need our spears. Just had to escort a few people to chairs, then we stood around inside the house, where it was cooler and we weren't in the sun, while we all waited for the bride and her minions to finish getting ready. And the groomsmen get to see the bride before the groom, often, 'cause they're escorting the bridesmaids, while the groom's waiting at the front.
So anyway, pictures.
First, the bride and groom. My friend Josh, and his new wife Amelia. I'll let you figure out which is which.
Now, the groomsmen, at a similar time.
From left to right, Josh's back, the preacher (whose little cheat sheet I could read from where I was standing), Morgan, the best man, the short one is Greg Jr, Josh's new nephew and the ringbearer, me, and then Steve, Josh's buddy from the Army in Korea.
And one more of us:
Me, then Josh, Greg Jr using Morgan as a jungle gym, and Steve.
I have other pictures, but most aren't great, I hope to get copies of some of the better/more official pics at some point from Josh's family. So there may be more, or I may send them to people who ask.
About the wedding, it mostly went off without a hitch, the bride and bridesmaids took a little long getting ready, and that was about it though, no disasters or anything. Though oddly, when the bridesmaids were dancing, (mostly the one conga line, and the electric slide), none of us guys were (hey, I don't know the Electric Slide), and then later on when we WERE up on the dance floor, the bridesmaids weren't. They were getting pictures taken. Or just avoiding us.
