In the Moment: Walking Down the Aisle

First down the aisle were our grandmothers. They're both very dear and special so we wanted to honor them by having them included in the processional. Our usher (and Official Tweeter) Roland took his job very seriously. My gram remarked afterwards that he was a total gentleman and his manners perfect.

Once our grandmothers were seated it was time for the Groom's Party to walk down the aisle. Brittani, our wedding coordinator (blue jacket), looks on to see that everything goes smoothly with Kerry. our onsite manager, ensuring bar and catering noise is kept to a minimum while Steve and Helen chat.

As soon as I was upstairs waiting outside Freja Hall, it was all Brittani could do to keep me from being seen too soon. I kept wanting to peak around and see everyone walking down the aisle. Steve leads off the party with a smile.

Helen's next down the aisle. 

Followed by cubes's brother and best man, Todd.

And then it's cubes turn. (If you look carefully you can see Monica peaking in from the hall.)
