Yesterday was a fantastic day! Nicole and I had the joy of taking part in the wedding of Jen & Randy Madsen (my sister-in-law, and new... official... "brother-in-law"). We were given the honour of being members of their wedding party, with Nicole the Matron of Honour, and myself a Groomsman. It was a nice reversal of the roles... given Jen was Nicole's Maid of Honour at our wedding, while Randy was one of my chosen groomsmen on that same day over a year ago.
Both Jen and Randy looked fantastic at their wedding which took place at Fort Gibraltar. The venue was unique, the atmosphere was fantastic, and good times were had by all. Jen looked absolutely stunning in her wedding dress (and constant smile) and I must say Randy did a splendid job of choosing the outfits for us groomsmen (I think I made that purple & grey vest look Damn good!). It was so much fun to spend the day talking to family we don't get to see as often as we might like. I had the honour of delivering a speech on behalf of "Momo" (or 'Morgan' as she is known while here in North America) Nic & Jen's cousin who is currently in Japan on an exchange program, returning in about a week from now. I was able to deliver a "Kampai" to the bride and groom, and must say Kampai to Morgan as well for teaching me my newest word :)
My wife Nicole looked stunning (as always) in her purple (surprise surprise... given it was Jen's wedding) bridesmaid's dress. I think both Nicole and I did a good job of looking great, without upstaging the couple of the night, who looked the best of anyone in the room by far ;)
Thank you Jen and Randy for having us both in your wedding party and making us such a special part of your special day! We both hope you have a great honeymoon in Vegas (how could you not?) and enjoy moving into your new home once you return. If you need help moving heavy boxes, I'm sure Nicole would love to help you out. I can even come too!... to shout words of encouragement at you all so that you do not lose motivation. I'm just kidding of course... I wouldn't be totally useless... I could hold a door or two open for you while there. Once again... Kampai! (CHEERS!!!)
