​JAMES AND SAMANTHA'S WEDDING

...Continued from yesterday:
Picture
     The following afternoon, Saturday, August 20 at 3:00 pm, we celebrated the wedding of Samantha and James.
​       The wedding took place at St. Francis Xavier College Church,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...located across the street from St. Louis University, the couple's alma mater.
Picture
     We were cordially greeted at the door by  a couple of the nephews,
Picture
Picture
...before entering the interior of the church, which was beautiful French Gothic in the style of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
Picture
Picture
Picture
         It was requested that the guests refrain from taking pictures during the mass, so I did refrain, but it was a lovely ceremony.
Picture
Picture
         The reception was held at the Hotel Saint Louis,
Picture
Picture
...where some of the guests were staying.
Picture
     Hors d'oeuvres were served on the mezzanine.

 Karen and Eric, parents of the bride.

Louise and Michael, parents of the groom.

     In a little while we were joined by James and Samantha,
Picture
...who looked so happy.
Picture
     We then proceeded to the dining room,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...where we were served a delicious wedge of iceberg topped with brie, apricots, and pear slices.
Picture
      The music was provided by a wonderful live band,
Picture
...and so who could resist getting started on the dancing?
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     The bride and groom made their grand entrance then cut the cake,
Picture
...after which the father of the bride gave a heart-felt speech.
Picture
     For dinner there were several choices of entrée: chicken,
Picture
...steak,
Picture
...and vegetarian pasta.
Picture
       For dessert there was a beautiful array of over-the-top delicious petits fours and cookies.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
      Then came the first dances, James with his mom,
Picture
...Samantha with her dad,
Picture
...and Samantha and James with each other.
Picture
     Then we all spent the evening dancing,
Picture
...or otherwise enjoying the celebration,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and wishing the best for Samantha and James on their way to their happily ever after.
