Ceremony |
 |
Adam found out two days before the wedding that his dress uniform jacket didn't fit after he gained weight after finishing officer training. Here he checks the results of a quick trip to a tailor. |
 |
The main task for the morning of the wedding day was for the two families to set up and decorate the hall that was used for the wedding reception. Many hands made light work. |
 |
The ceremony was held at the Normal Presbyterian Church where Rev. Susan Alley is the pastor. Adam's sister Emily (left) was the maid of honor. Derek Otto was the best man. |
 |
The reception was held in the Ashland Museum, a very interesting location that delighted the younger children with its many historical exhibits. Here Adam helps Amanda with a problem with her veil. |
 |
The two families were very comfortable with each other and that made an enjoyable experience at the reception. |
