Saturday weddings are most common in the US. There is usually a rehearsal for the ceremony on Friday with the wedding party, followed by a rehearsal dinner sponsored by the groom's parents. Andy and Claire weren't having any of this. There wasn't much to rehearse. The party was Popeye's Fried Chicken, salads and beer in the couple's back yard.
Above, Carolyn's brother Mel, one of the all-around nicest people I know. Down the page:
- Claire and her brother Lou, who I think bears an uncanny resemblance to the young David Byrne. Claire's father, Mike, is behind.
- my brother, John, his daughter Stephanie and my brother-in-law Mel Mark.
- Claire with her cousin Carrie on the left and her mother Ramona on the right. I do not know the woman on the far right. I'm just the photographer.
- second cousins Olivia Kruse and Madeleine face off in baby wrestling. Madeleine, having the weight advantage, goes for the rip-yer-bib-off hold.
This could go on for a while.

I am glad to see that a normal party is still possible in your country and not commercialized. I like that and wish your son and daughter in law a great honeymoon in Europe.
You've got a wonderfully informal mood among everyone, Bob.
