Please endure yet another Big Bang Theory reference.
As I mentioned, we bucked with tradition by eating dinner before the “formal program,” as my dad called it.
Our first toast was from BM El Cunado. He recounted how he’d met me for the first time at Mac’s commissioning. This was, in fact, a lie. He and I met while he was a patient at Walter Reed several weeks after Mac and I started dating.
Next up was MOH Leslie. She also talked about her first time meeting Mac and how quickly she realized we were destined to be together (or something along those lines).
Finally was my dad. He’s quite a good public speaker, and I was curious to see what he would speak about. He did promise to not share any embarrassing stories.

Our wedding weekend:
Friday, we rehearsed, relaxed over dinner, and hosted an open house. Wedding morning dawned bright and early, we got prettified, then had our first look. We waited for some guests and headed down the aisle. Our ceremony was short and sweet, and we finished our family portraits. We were introduced at our reception, ate dinner, raised a few toasts, shared special dances, and didn’t smash our cake. We rounded up our friends for some group shots then snuck out for some private moments while they danced the night away. We partied til the end, packed up the car, and enjoyed a quiet night in our home. Sunday, we said goodbye over brunch and drove into the sunset to an Outer Banks honeymoon.
